Stitches

Double crochet two together and double crochet three together (dc2tog, dc3tog)

Here it is shown how to make a double crochet two together (dc2tog) and a double crochet three together (dc3tog). It is similar to a double crochet (dc), just instead of finishing a double crochet, work it up to the last step, then work the second double crochet in the next stitch up to the last step, then the third, the fourth, as many as you need, all up to the last step. Then yarn over and pull the yarn through all loops on your hook.

The same applies if you want to connect any other stitches together: work them up to the last step and then connect them by yarning over and pulling the yarn through all loops on your hook. I use a double crochet three together (dc3tog), a double crochet four together (dc4tog) and a double crochet six together (dc6tog) in my winter coaster.

1. Start making a double crochet as usually: yarn over, insert your hook in the next stitch of the previous row, yarn over and pull the yarn through. Now you have three loops on your hook.

2. Yarn over and pull the yarn through the first two loops. Now you have two loops on your hook.

3. Now start making a second double crochet: yarn over.

4. Insert your hook in the next stitch, yarn over and pull the yarn through. Now you have four loops on your hook.

5. Yarn over.

6.  Pull the yarn through the first two loops. Now you have three loops on your hook. Yarn over.

7. Pull the yarn through all three loops. Now you have one loop on your hook. You have just made a double crochet two together.

8. To make a double crochet three together follow the steps from 1 to 6. Then start making the third double crochet in the next stitch by yarning over.

9. Insert your hook in the next stitch, yarn over and pull the yarn through. Now you have five loops on your hook.

10. Yarn over and pull the yarn through the first two loops. Now you have four loops on your hook.

11. Yarn over and pull the yarn through all four loops. You have just made a double crochet three together. Done!
