Crochet: ldc (long double crochet)

A Ldc (Long Double Crochet) — or Long dc — is a variation of the regular double crochet stitch that’s worked into a row or round below the one you’re currently on, instead of into the current top loops.

This creates a longer, stretched stitch that adds beautiful texture, depth, and vertical design to your crochet fabric. It’s often used in textured patterns, mosaic crochet, and post-stitch-style designs.
