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.

How to work an extended treble crochet

In this DROPS video we show how to crochet an extended treble crochet. We have already worked 2.5 rows with extended treble crochet. Wrap the yarn round the crochet hook and insert the hook in next stitch, wrap the yarn round the hook and pull the yarn through the 1st stitch = 3 loops on hook. Wrap the yarn round the hook again and pull through 1 loop on hook = 3 loops on hook. Wrap the yarn round the hook again and pull through 2 loops on hook = 2 loops on hook. Wrap the yarn round the hook again and pull through the last 2 loops on hook = 1 extended treble crochet. We use the yarn DROPS Snow in the video.
