Half Double Crochet – hdc tutorial
The half double crochet is a great stitch if you’re looking to add some height to a normal sc (single crochet). Here are 6 simple steps to the hdc:
Step 1: wrap yarn over hook (from back to front)
Step 2: insert hook into next stitch (from front to back)
Step 3: wrap yarn over hook and pull through a loop
Note: You will now have 3 loops on your hook.
Step 4: wrap yarn over hook (back to front)
Step 5: pull through all 3 loops on hook.
>I love this stitch. Have been using it in tons of stuff lately! A single row of it makes a great necklace band. :)
>Just finished and posted a baby afghan that was made up of hdc stitches….with a row of triples every 5th row to give the ripple effect.
