In lesson 10 I will show you how to half double crochet (hdc). The half double is different because its height lands between the double and single crochet. Another difference is that you draw through all three loops on your hook instead of only two at a time.
If you have any special crochet video requests let me know by posting a comment in the comments section below. I would love to hear your ideas!
