Double crochet stitch (double double crochet)

The double crochet stitch (also known as the double crochet stitch ) is a basic crochet stitch that adds more height than the double crochet stitch. It's also known as treble crochet (tr) .

This stitch is widely used in openwork patterns, shawls, lightweight garments, or decorative details, as it allows the fabric to grow faster and drape more smoothly.
