The following is the American meaning of double crochet. The British system would call this stitch a treble. A British d.c. is an American single crochet.
Double crochet is one of the three basic stitches of crochet: chain, single crochet and double crochet. To make a double crochet:
1. Put the working yarn over the hook (this is called a "yarn over").
2. Insert the hook in the next stitch in the row below.
3. Yarn over again and pull that yarn over back out through the stitch. There are now three loops on the hook.
4. Yarn over again, and pull that yarn over through the first two looks on the hook. Two loops remain on the hook.
5. Yarn over again, and pull that yarn over through the remaining two loops.
When you finish a row and turn, start a row of double crochet by first chaining three stitches. This chain-3 counts as the first stitch of the row. For a single crochet, chain only one to start a new row.
To create a treble crochet, yarn over twice, insert your hook into the next stitch, yarn over and draw through the stitch (4 loops on hook), yarn over and draw through two loops, and end by yarning over and drawing through two loops again. That's the US way to do it. In the UK, a treble is made by using just one yarn over at the beginning, resulting in what the US calls a double crochet.
From Crochet Cabana (my own web site). There is a video demo also.
Single crochet: Insert hook into a specified stitch or space, yarn over, pull through the stitch, yarn over, and pull through both loops on hook.
Double crochet: Yarn over, insert hook into specified stitch or space, yarn over, pull through stitch, yarn over, pull through 2 loops on hook, yarn over, pull through remaining 2 loops.
