How to make a Stacked Double Crochet - the BEST alternative to "ch 3" a the start of your rows!

No more "chain 3" to start your double crochet rows!
WHAT IS A STACKED DOUBLE CROCHET?
A stacked double crochet offers an alternative way to begin any double crochet (dc) row. Often, you will see a dc row start like this: “ch 3 (counts as a 1 dc, here and throughout). Instead of working this “turning ch 3”, you can work a stacked double crochet.
BENEFITS OF THE STACKED DOUBLE CROCHET
Straighter edges
Eliminates gaps created by the ch-3
Easier to work into the top of the stacked dc rather than into the top of a turning ch-3
Easier to work a border into a stacked dc rather than around a turning ch-3.
