Learn how to crochet this beautiful, simple version of the Knotted Half Double Crochet Stitch (Knotted HDC) with an easy two row repeat!
Not too long ago I was asked about how to work the Knotted Half Double Crochet Stitch and in my research of the stitch I discovered that there are two versions of the stitch floating around!
Last week I published the more common version of the Knotted Half Double Crochet Stitch pattern, this week I have the other for you.
Both of the patterns are constructed in a similar way with rows of single crochet stitches worked in between rows of texture.
In this version of the stitch pattern, one of my favourite stitches is used: The yarn over slip stitch or half double crochet slip stitch. It’s such a fun stitch to work with a great texture and easy rhythm.

The Materials:
For this tutorial today, I will be using a small amount of Heatherly by KnitPicks and WeCrochet in a single colour. It is a medium/worsted weight yarn that is a wool blend. Along with my worsted weight yarn, I will also be working with a 5 mm (H/8) crochet hook.

Pattern Notes:
This stitch is worked in rows in this tutorial and it may be worked in one colour or many. I will be working this pattern in a single colour.
This pattern is written in American crochet terms.
To begin, make a slip knot and make a foundation chain. For this stitch, you may use any number of stitches for your foundation chain.
For example, ch 21.
Row One:
Sc in the 2nd ch from your hook and in each st across. Ch 1, turn.
Row Two:
Sc in the first st, yo sl st in the next st and each st across until 1 st remains, sc in the final st, ch 1 turn.
Row Three:
Sc in the 1st st and in each st across. Ch 1, turn.
And that’s it!
For the remainder of the pattern simply repeat rows two and three. Fasten off, weave in your ends.
