A taller version of the single crochet, half-double crochet adds more height and creates a little bit more open fabric.
Half-double crochet is between single and double crochet. It makes an even texture that is a little open, but not too much. In this easy to follow tutorial we will show you everything you need to know to work this basic crochet stitch. This stitch can be used for everything from scarves and sweaters, hats and mittens, to housewares.
Working into a foundation chain: Start with the hook in your right hand and the foundation chain in your left.
Move the hook under and then over the yarn to loop the yarn around it.
Insert your crochet hook into the middle of the third stitch from the hook.
Loop the yarn around the hook.
Scoop the yarn with the groove of your hook and pull it through the stitch. There are now three loops on your hook.
Loop the yarn around the hook again and pull the yarn through all three loops on your hook. You have now worked one stitch in half double crochet stitch. Repeat steps 2 to 5 into the next stitch to continue working in half double crochet stitch.
When you're working across a row that's already been crocheted:
Make a turning chain of two stitches. Then loop the yarn around your hook.
Insert your crochet hook into the middle of the third stitch from the hook.
Loop the yarn around your hook.
Scoop the yarn with the groove of your hook and pull it through the stitch. There are now three loops on your hook.
Loop the yarn around the hook again and pull the yarn through all three loops on your hook. Repeat into the next stitch to continue working in half double crochet stitch.
Well done, another technique mastered! *high five*
