Special stitches:
Herringbone half double crochet (HHDC)
The Herringbone Half Double Crochet (HHDC) is a variation of the traditional half double crochet (HDC) stitch, with a slight twist that creates a slanted, textured look resembling a herringbone pattern.
Yarn Over (YO): As with a normal HDC, you start by yarning over the hook.
Insert the Hook: Insert your hook into the next stitch (just like for a regular HDC).
Pull Through Stitch: Yarn over again and pull through the stitch. Now you should have three loops on your hook.
Pull Through First Loop: Here’s where the difference lies! Instead of yarning over again right away, first pull the first loop through the second loop on your hook. This slants the stitch and gives it the herringbone effect.
Complete the Stitch: Yarn over again and pull through the remaining two loops on your hook. You’ve now completed one herringbone half double crochet stitch!
Crab stitch (reverse single crochet)
The crochet crab stitch, also known as the reverse single crochet, is a decorative edging stitch that is worked in the opposite direction of standard crochet stitches. Instead of moving from right to left (for right-handed crocheters), the crab stitch is worked from left to right, creating a twisted, rope-like texture.
Insert Hook in the Previous Stitch (to the Right):
- Instead of inserting the hook into the next stitch on your left, insert it into the stitch immediately to the right. If you are right-handed, this means you are crocheting backwards. For left-handed crocheters, work from right to left instead.
