Half Double Crochet

hdc
Basic

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.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. 1

    Yarn over before inserting your hook into the next stitch.

  2. 2

    Insert the hook into the stitch.

  3. 3

    Yarn over and pull up a loop — you now have three loops on your hook.

  4. 4

    Yarn over once more.

  5. 5

    Pull through all three loops on your hook at once — one half double crochet is complete.

  6. 6

    At the end of the row, chain 2 and turn your work.
