How to crochet foundation Double crochet ( fdc) or a

chainless start Step by step pictures

You can use any yarn and hook, this is a great way to start any project that calls for a chain row and
a dc row. ( esp. if your chain row is generally tight or loose)

Chain 4 ( 3 for your first dc and one for the chain)

yo (yarn over) insert your hook in the forth chain from the hook and pull through ( you should have 3
loops on your hook)

yo and pull through the first loop, ( you have made the chain) * 3 loops on the hook*

yo, pull through 2 loops, ( you have done the first half of your dc) *2 loops on the hook*

yo and pull through the last 2 loops you now have 2 dc's

Continue with this pattern, *yo insert your hook in the chain from the last dc, pull through 1 loop,
then do your dc as normal until you have the length you want!!

This is my first row

Row 1 - Start with a foundation Dc row of 13 ( if you would like a wider scarf just keep the number
odd and you can add as many as you like)
Row 2-turn ch2, 1dc in the first dc, skip 1, 2dc in the next, skip 1, 2 dc in the next,skip 1, 2dc in the
next, skip 1 2dc in the next, skip 1, 2dc in the next, skip 1, 2 dc in the last dc of the row
Row 3 until the the last row- turn ch 2, 1 dc in the first, *skip 1, 2dc in the next* repeat until the end
of the row.

this is 1 row of fdc and 4 rows of the pattern

I added fringe, but this also looks great with a ch3 sl border
