Crochet tutorial: Half double crochet

The ideal technique for a flexible, well-shaped project.

The half double crochet combines the best of the single and double crochet stitches: it’s quick to work, has good height, and creates a fabric that’s both dense and flexible.

In this video, you’ll learn how to make it correctly, from the initial yarn over to closing the stitch.

It’s perfect for garments, blankets, or accessories that need structure and elasticity.

An essential technique to expand your repertoire and add variety to your crochet projects.
