How to work a different double crochet (UK)

Video thumbnail for How to work a different double crochet (UK)
In this DROPS video we show how we work a slightly different double crochet. Instead of working the yarn as usual, where the hook on the needle points upwards, we wind the yarn around the hook that points down. This creates a small cross. We first work some different double crochet and then some regular double crochet.

We use the yarn DROPS Snow in the video.
