How to make Half Double crochet stitch-
First of all you will need some chains, if you don’t know how to make chains please check my previous post on How to make the Chain Stitch or see this video.
Step 1: Wrap the yarn over crochet hook and insert the hook in 3rd chain from the hook.
Step 2: Catch yarn and draw a loop through the chain- now we have 3 loops on the hook. Wrap yarn around hook and draw loop through all 3 loops on the hook, thus completes half double crochet stitch.
Generally each stitch is made in each chain across the row. When one row is completed make 2 chain after last stitch of the row and turn the work.
Then wrap yarn over hook; insert the hook in 1st stitch and form half double crochet. That begins the second row of the work.
