How to Crochet the Extended Double Crochet Stitch

Hey there!

Today’s stitch tutorial is about the Extended Double Crochet stitch. This stitch is like a basic double crochet stitch but there is a little more to it. Once you get the hand of the yarn overs this stitch is super simple and it creates a nice fabric. I find this stitch is a tiny bit taller than the basic double crochet stitch. It is a great way to up your crochet game without much effort.
