To double crochet you yarn over your hook, insert your hooke into the stitch and yarn over again. Pull it back through the stitch, you will have 3 loops on your hook. Yarn over again and pull that through the next two loops on your hook. This will leave you with two loops on your hook. Yarn over once more and pull through the last two loops on your hook. This will leave you with a single loop on your hook and this completes the double crochet.

If you want to work double crochet as the first row of your work,

chain x amount, yarn over (written as yo in patterns), insert hook into fourth chain from hook. The loop ON your hook does NOT count. There are different ways to insert your hook into the chain. You can insert hook under the top loop, under the top two loops, or in the back loop. You should do it the same way across the chain.

To begin your double crochet, Yarn over and pull yarn through the chain. You will have three loops on hook at this point. Yarn over, and pull yarn through two loops, yarn over and pull through remaining two loops on hook. You will have one loop left on the hook when you are done. Then repeat the procedure for the next chain and so forth.

If you already have a row of stitches, then the procedure for making the double crochet is the same, but you would chain 2 or 3 at the end of your row to give height to your stitch to match the double crochets you will be making. Then insert your hook into the second stitch of the row because the first chains count as a stitch. Continue working double crochets using the procedure above.
