Double Column Crochet Stitch | Crochet with Aabhar
Double Column Crochet Stitch features a repeating openwork texture made with alternating rows of double crochet and solid rows of single crochet stitches. The dc in back loop stitches create vertical bars with open spaces between them.
The open spaces contrast with the dense rows, creating a dimensional, ribbed texture. It is a 3 stitch repeat over 2 rows.
