double crochet
Yarn-over looping technique
Double crochet is a basic stitch in crochet that creates a taller, more open fabric than single crochet.
The stitch involves wrapping yarn over the hook before inserting it into the work, then pulling through loops in stages.
In British terminology, what Americans call double crochet is called treble crochet—a persistent source of confusion when following patterns from different countries.
