Modified Half Double Crochet (mhdc)

Unlock the Potential of the Modified Half Double Crochet Stitch

The Modified Half Double Crochet Stitch is a clever twist on the traditional half double crochet. It maintains the same stitch structure but alters the placement for a unique effect. Instead of going through the front and back loops, this stitch is worked between the left and right legs of the stitch.

This small adjustment opens up a world of creative possibilities. Whether you're crocheting in the round without turning or working with turns between rows, the stitch placement remains consistent.

One of the features of the Modified Half Double Crochet Stitch is its ability to create a dense, lower-stretch fabric. This makes it perfect for projects where you need added stability and structure, such as bags, hats, or even amigurumi.

The Modified Half Double Crochet Stitch is a versatile addition to your crochet toolkit. It creates a distinct texture and is perfect for various projects.

To execute the stitch, yarn over and insert your hook in between right and left legs of the stitch (rather than through the front and back loops), yarn over and pull through.
