Learn With Me: The Half Double Crochet
Welcome back to stitch #2 in our series on how to crochet for beginners! Our first lesson was on the Single Crochet which you can find HERE.
The Half Double Crochet is another beginner stitch. It is very easy and creates a more loose fabric than the single crochet. There are pictures below and a video at the end that you can watch if you are more of a visual learner! Lets get started!
The Half Double Crochet starts with a Yarn Over.
Yarn over, Insert hook into stitch, yarn over, pull though stitch. You will have 3 loops on your hook. Yarn over and pull though all 3 loops! That’s how you complete your Half Double Crochet!Yarn Over.

Learn With Me: The Single Crochet
Welcome to my learn with me series! I am so excited to show you how to crochet. This series will explore how to complete different crochet stitches. I have been crocheting for 14 years and I will be learning some new stitches along the way too!
First in the series is the Single Crochet. I am going to assume you know how to slip knot and chain. If you do not click HERE for a great video tutorial!
For the single crochet, you will insert your hook into your stitch. Yarn over and pull though. You will have 2 loops on your hook. Yarn over and pull though both loops on your hook.
That’s it! You just completed your very first Single Crochet!
This stitch is great for a sturdy fabric and all Amigurumi is made using the Single Crochet! Below is a video of the Single Crochet if you are more of a visual person! -
Learn With Me: Chaining
Once you have you yarn and hook picked out, it is time to learn how to chain! This is the first lesson in our Learn With Me Series! I have attached a video along with some pictures to help with learning! I know that YouTube can be very overwhelming with long explanations so the video I have attached jumps right into how to chain!
Start by making a slip knot and inserting your hook.
Yarn over and pull though loop.
Continue yarning over and pulling though loop until you have the number of chains you need!Happy Yarning!
