Crochet 101 Lesson 4: Half-Double Crochet Stitch

Crochet 101

Lesson 4: Half-Double Crochet Stitch (hdc)


I use this stitch a lot. It is taller than a single crochet, but shorter than a double crochet. It is used in a lot of patterns and the abbreviation is hdc. So... Here we go!


 Make a chain. My picture is after a few rows, but it is all the same. With a chain you will start in the 2nd chain from the hook. 


 Step 1: YO (yarn over).

Step 2: Put through the next stitch (from above it looks like a V).


Step 3: YO, pull through the stitch. This will leave three loops on your hook.

Step 4: YO, pull through all three loops.
