Linked Double Crochet
Also known as: Ldc
Double crochets joined to each other along their sides, so the fabric is as solid as sc but grows at dc speed — no gaps between stitches.
How to Linked Double Crochet
1. Instead of a yarn over, insert hook into the middle horizontal bar of the previous dc and pull up a loop.
2. Insert hook in the next stitch and pull up a loop (3 loops).
3. (Yarn over, pull through 2 loops) twice.
💡 Pro Tips
Great for windproof hats and bags, where ordinary dc would be too holey.
