The half double crochet is the next stitch to learn as you are building your skills. It is the next stitch in height after the single crochet (SC) stitch)
Similar to the single crochet stitch, the half double crochet stitch makes a solid crochet fabric without holes, and can be used similarly to single crochet.
The abbreviation for the half double crochet (US terms) is HDC. Note that the half double crochet is known as a half treble crochet (htr) in UK terms.
Here are the steps to create a Half Double Crochet stitch:
Step 1: Yarn over (yo) and insert the hook into the next stitch. Make sure your yo is coming from the back of the hook aver the top to the front
Step 2: Yarn over (yo) and pull the yarn through the stitch. You will have three loops on the hook
Step 3: yarn over (yo) and pull the yarn through all three loops.
You will now have one loop remaining on the hook, and your Half Double Crochet is complete!
To complete the row, you will follow the above steps into each of the remaining stitches. Good luck!
