How Do I Make a Double Crochet Stitch?

The double crochet is a basic crochet stitch that is one of the first stitches beginner crocheters learn. The double crochet stitch is sometimes referred to as DC in patterns as an abbreviation, and I will also do the same in the blanket pattern below. The abbreviations will become more comfortable in your vocabulary and easier to read as you become familiar with the terms. 🙂

Be sure to get familiar with the DC by browsing through the blog post & video below that are all about the DC stitch in crochet.

Or take a look at the step by step DC stitch tutorial below made just for this chunky blanket!

Double Crochet (DC) Stitch Picture Tutorial

Once you have mastered the DC stitch, you will be ready to get started on this blanket! But first, let’s talk about yarn! Yeah!! My favorite part!

The Yarn That Makes This Blanket Work up Fast!

This double crochet blanket works up extremely fast because of the chunky Wool-Ease Thick & Quick Yarn by Lion Brand that I used. Each double crochet stitch worked up with this yarn takes up more room than a typical worsted weight double crochet stitch, which essentially means you are done faster with a blanket when you use bigger yarn!

I used the colorway Fossil & fisherman for my blanket, but any color would look fabulous in this pattern! You can do all one color of yarn for your afghan or more than one like I used. I didn’t stop at specific rows. I just crocheted until colors were done and then added in a new skein. You could do the same or switch it up however you like.

I linked up a few of my favorite yarns (which happen to be the ones that I used!) below for you to take a look at and decide on what colors you will pick.

Ready to Get Started?

Now that we have the double crochet stitch down and the yarn & hook handy, it is time to get started! Read on down to find the full (and let’s not forget beginner-friendly) DC blanket pattern! If you’d prefer a printable PDF with all eight sizes included you can purchase one for the price of a fancy coffee.

Happy Blanket Crocheting!

You are Done With Your Blanket!

Congrats on finishing this blanket! If you prefer to add a border, I’d suggest a simple single crochet border with three single crochets in each corner. Watch the video tutorial below on how to add a border to a crochet blanket. If you have an ad blocker installed it may not show up.

If you do decide on an edge, you will need more yarn that indicated in the pattern above.
