- Learn to crochet
The half double crochet stitch (hdc) is the halfway point between a single crochet (sc) and a double crochet stitch (dc). Compared to a single stitch, it requires a yarn over before you insert the hook into a stitch, and requires you to pull the final yarn over through all 3 loops on the hook. Let’s give it a go!

Insert the hook under the next stitch or v.
Yarn over. Pull the yarn through the stitch to draw up a loop.
There should be three loops on the hook.
Yarn over. Pull the yarn through all three loops on the hook.
