Sometimes varying your crochet stitches slightly can help you create intriguing and attractive results in a crochet project.

Step 1

Yarn over the crochet hook as you would to begin a standard double crochet, but hold your work to enable you to work toward the right instead of toward the left.

Step 2

Insert the crochet hook up into the stitch to the right and yarn over the hook again.

Step 4

Repeat the same process to make as many twisted double crochet stitches as desired.
