Need help with a crochet stitch

[Karen Stephens]

Have a pattern I am wanting to do. Calls for a linked double crochet. Never have done it before. And the way the pattern is written has made it confusing for me. Does anyone know where I can get a look at how it is done? Nothing on it in any of my books. And believe me when I say that I have a lot of them.

Linked Double Crochet Stitch (LDC) - moogly


I find that many crochet pattern writers leave out important steps. For instance, in your pattern the writer could have made a special note and explained a linked double crochet.

If this one is difficult to follow, then google "crochet linked double crochet" - minus the quotation marks. Lots of links to check out. It's really quite easy, you're merely linking double crochets together - it makes a more dense fabric.

There is a video on YouTube that shows you how to do that. I just learned it myself a couple of weeks ago It's called an LDC stitch.
