Learn the half-double crochet or half dc,stitch

This is the next in my series - Learning to crochet. The half double crochet or half dc stitch as it is sometimes known is again fairly simple. Like the single crochet stitch, you put the yarn over the hook, insert it into the bottom stitch and you should have 3 loops on your hook. Pull the yarn through the bottom stitch, and then put the yarn over the hook again and pull it through all three loops on the hook and this is your half dc stitch.

Practice this stitch. As with everything, practice is key. Once you have mastered all three stitches, the chain, the single crochet stitch and the half double crochet or dc stitch, come back again for the next lesson in this series.
