English Name: Tunisian Double Extended Stitch (tdes)
Spanish Name: Punto Tunecino Alargado Duble (p.t. alargado duble)

Level of Curling: Light to no curling. More information on the natural curling of Tunisian crochet.
Suggested Foundation Because this isn’t an insertion stitch, you can work the Extended Stitch directly onto the chain foundation instead of using a different stitch.
Instructions: Insert hook in a side to side motion (right to left for right-handers or left to right for left-handers) under front vertical bar, yarn over, pull loop through, chain 2.
This stitch has now created one loop on the hook. Think of it as a regular simple stitch with two chains on top.
Notes
As with all of the “tall” stitches in Tunisian crochet, you can usually use any of the Insertion stitches (i.e.; simple, knit, purl, etc.). See the Tunisian Crochet Library for other variations as they are added.
To begin a row of Double Extended Stitch, make two chains at the beginning. With the shorter stitches, this is unnecessary, but as the stitches get taller, you will need extra height.
