How To Half-Double Crochet Stitch
Crocheting this stitch is quite straightforward. To start, you'll yarn over (that's crocheter talk for wrapping the yarn around your hook), then insert your hook into the designated stitch in your project. Once your hook is in place, yarn over again and pull this loop back through the stitch. You'll have three loops on your hook. Complete the stitch by yarning over again and pulling through all three loops on your hook in one go. Repeat these steps to create a thicker and cozier fabric than simple crochet stitches, perfect for various projects.
- Height: This crochet stitch (HDC) has a medium height, sitting right between a single crochet (SC) and a double crochet (DC).
- Turning chains: The typical turning chain for a half-double crochet stitch is two chains. When working in rows, these two chains count as the first HDC of the new row.
Abbreviations: The abbreviation used in patterns is usually HDC or sometimes hdc.
