double crochet
If your instructions use American terminology,
Yarn over (yo). Remember to bring yarn from back to front, over and around hook. Insert hook into chain or stitch, yarn over again, pull yarn through chain or stitch. You have three loops on hook at this point. Then yarn over, pull through 2 of those loops, yarn over, pull through the remaining two loops.

Otherwise, if the instructions stated that you were to double crochet the next stitch, you would understand that you would be double crocheting into the top of the stitch below, versus crochet around the length of the stitch.You also notice that the instructions will say to "back post double crochet (bpdc)" which means to bring your stitch around the post from the back position.
