I have done this tutorial with different colored yarns in sequence to make the stitches. I will be referring to each color in the pictures. I have tried to do this taking less pictures. So if you do not understand, please ask. In all pictures I will be referring to, I will go from top to bottom.
Half Double Crochet Tutorial
This tutorial will be done making 5 stitches.
Top Yellow - Chain 6
I have marked the 3<SUP>rd</SUP> chain from the hook, this is where you will insert your hook. The 2 chains between the mark and the hook will count as the first half double crochet.
Bottom Purple - Yarn over and insert hook in the 3<SUP>rd</SUP> chain from the hook.
In the next picture is row 1 completed. Starting on the right hand side, I have marked the top of the turning chain, the 3<SUP>rd</SUP> stitch and the 5<SUP>th</SUP> stitch.
I have marked the 2<SUP>nd</SUP> stitch to show you where you will insert your hook to work the 2<SUP>nd</SUP> half double crochet and the top of the turning chain to see where your last half double crochet will go. The chain 2 counts as your first half double crochet.
Work 3 more half double crochet across the row, making sure you work the last one in the top of the turning chain.
2 rows of 5 stitches of half double crochet completed.
I have marked starting from the right hand side, the top of the turning chain (counts as 1<SUP>st</SUP> stitch) the 3<SUP>rd</SUP> stitch and the 5<SUP>th</SUP> stitch along with the corresponding posts for those stitches.
