Hey everyone, welcome to By Golden Berry. I'm Tina and today we're going to go
0:09
through how to work the half double crochet. In UK terms that's the half
0:16
treble. Here's a small sample of what it looks like. This is the next step up from
0:23
the single crochet which in the UK terms that's the double crochet. You can find a
0:28
video on my channel if you haven't done that one yet. I'm going to show you how
0:32
to work this stitch from the foundation chain and from row to row. I'll show you
0:39
how to work the turning chain and where to go at the end of the row as well. To
0:45
start off I've made 15 chains and you want to make the chain as long as you
0:53
want your piece to be and then from that point we'll chain two. So if you want it
1:03
to make it easier you can mark this last chain so that we know where to work into
1:11
for our first stitch. So we'll chain two from here to get the correct height
1:22
for this stitch and then we go straight into that marked chain So we got two chains here
1:38
that's our chain two and we're going to be working into this third one. So we
1:45
start off by yarning over and then go into the chain, yarn over, pull through so
2:04
have three loops on the hook, yarn over and pull through all three loops so
2:16
that's your first half double. Again you can mark this stitch so that we know
2:25
where to make our last half double crochet on the way back on the next row
2:34
So we'll do that one again. We'll yarn over, work into the chain
2:43
sorry Yarn over again pull through yarn over and pull through all three loops And carry on like that until you get to the end of
3:05
the row and I'll meet you there. I've made my first row of half double crochets
3:11
this is marking the first half double crochet of the row and next we're going
3:18
to turn our work and we're going to chain 2 like we did earlier to get the
3:26
correct height and we're going to work straight into this first half double
3:36
crochet here. So we'll skip the first two chains, yarn over, go into the stitch
3:47
under both loops, unless the pattern says so you will always work under both loops
3:55
of the stitch. Yarn over, pull through, three loops on the hook, yarn over and pull
4:06
through all three loops. So you can tell where the first stitch is by this nice
4:16
v-shape on the top that indicates this last stitch. So I'll do it slowly one more
4:22
time So we yarn over go into the stitch yarn over again pull through we have three
4:37
loops on the hook, yarn over and pull through all three loops. So continue like
4:48
that until we get to the end of the row and I'll meet you there. I'm at the end
4:52
of the second row and this is our first half double crochet that we marked on
4:59
the first row so we're going to work into that one. And that's that's the last stitch of the second row so to make sure that you've
5:16
done it correctly just make sure that you've got the same number of stitches
5:21
as your initial foundation chain. So I chained 15 so I should have 15 stitches
5:28
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15. And that's it. That's how to work the half double crochet
