Learn to Crochet: 7 Easy Half Double Crochet Patterns

Today I’m sharing seven easy half double crochet patterns that incorporate the use of the half double crochet stitch. Each of these patterns were hand-picked with the beginner crocheter in mind.

 

Learn to Crochet with these 7 Easy Half Double Crochet Patterns by The Birch Cottage

As you develop and grow your crochet skills, you’ll be able to crochet more complicated patterns. And, before you know it, you’ll be crocheting corner to corner and learning all sorts of stitches!

Also, the more you practice with different stitches and different types and weights of yarn, the better you’ll understand the craft of crocheting. Sometimes, I enjoy crocheting with unusual materials like twine. I know from working with twine that you can make some beautiful baskets! I’ve also learned that it’s kind of rough on the hands – as you might imagine.

So, experiment and don’t be afraid to try new stitches, patterns, yarns or branch out and try your own ideas. The more you crochet, the better crocheter you’ll become!

Half Double Crochet

I’ve already explained to you how to crochet the half double crochet stitch, but if you need a refresher or want to watch the video, you’ll find that here. The half double crochet stitch is very similar to the double crochet, but it produces a tighter stitch.

I chose these seven patterns with the beginner crocheter in mind. So, if you’ve been following along on the Learn to Crochet series here on The Birch Cottage blog, then these patterns are meant to give you an opportunity to practice what you’ve learned!
