[Nfb-krafters-korner] question regarding double crocheting

[blindhands at aol.com]

When you are referring to the middle stitches, Are you referring to what is
in the middle between the top of the row below and the loop that is creating
the top of the stitch you are working?  Do you use the hook to pull the yarn
up thru the top of the row below? Or are you using your fingers to put the
yarn over the hook and then pulling it thru?

I ask this as some folks use their fingers more then just using the hook.  I
think using the hook only can keep better tension on making the stitches.

Need a better explanation on how you are doing it and where exactly you are
getting the looseness.

I am not certain what you are asking. Are you asking about your Double
Crochet stitch? IIf that is the question, I would of course ask you about
your tension, and you are saying you try to keep this the same thru out. My
next question is what size hook are you using and then I would ask you to
describe to me just how you are making your double crochet. My thought in
asking this is are you completing the stitch in the right manor. Not saying
you are incorrect I will list the dc below and look and see if that is your
problem. If not post again and we will look farther, this is a start.

Double crochet. You must have 1 loop on the hook from the chain or other
stitch to start the dc. 1 loop on, Yarn over, now 2 on hook, enter stitch, 3
on hook, pull up to make all 3 loops to the same height. Yarn and pull thru
2 on hook, leaving 2 loops, yarn over and pull thru last 2 on hook.
Completed dc. Were your stitches all at the smame height and tension when
working the stitch. Hope this helps.

No matter how loose or tight my tention on the stitches the middle loops
tend to be loose on some of the stitches.  I try to keep them about the same
size.  Any ideas on how I can fix this problem?
