How to make an Extended Double Crochet (EDC)

The extended double crochet stitch is a taller variation of standard double crochet.

Yarn over. Insert the hook into the next stitch, yarn over, and draw the yarn through the stitch. There are now 3 loops on the hook.
Yarn over and draw the yarn through the first loop on the hook. There are now 3 loops on the hook.
Yarn over and draw the yarn through 2 loops on the hook. There are now 2 loops on the hook.
Yarn over and draw the yarn through the 2 remaining loops on the hook.

Instructions:

Make an adjustable ring,

Round 1. Ch 3 (counts as DC), 11 DC into the ring, draw the loop closed. To make it easier to do, first, untwist the tail, then pull the tail to draw the loop tightly closed. Sl St to 3rd Ch of beginning Ch-3 to join. Total – 12 DC.

Finishing

Block your Easter Bunny Eggs as necessary.

You can also embellish your Bunny Egg with small crochet Bow. For this Bow, I used a small amount of cotton light weight #3 yarn.
