Half double crochet sits between single crochet and double crochet in height, producing a slightly taller stitch with a lovely texture. It creates a fabric with a distinctive third loop on the back, which can be used for decorative effects.
Yarn over before inserting your hook into the next stitch.
Insert the hook into the stitch.
Yarn over and pull up a loop — you now have three loops on your hook.
Yarn over once more.
Pull through all three loops on your hook at once — one half double crochet is complete.
At the end of the row, chain 2 and turn your work.
