 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
