October 23, 2009, Newsletter Issue #67: Half Double Crochet (hdc)

Tip of the Week

The half double crochet is a great stitch for use in making clothing projects.  You start with 1 loop on your hook. You DO wrap the yarn around your hook before sticking the hook into the next chain or stitch below. Then, yarn around the hook and pull through a loop. You now have 3 loops on your hook. Yarn over and pull the yarn through all 3 loops at the same time. You now have 1 loop on your hook again and should have just completed a half-double crochet stitch.
