Chainless Half-Double Foundation Method




The CHDC, the chainless half-double crochet foundation is the half-sister of the CSC. They're related, but this one's a little rebellious. You may have to keep a closer eye on her.

But really, this is the same basic concept as the chainless single crochet, only worked with half-doubles. You'll have a little more yarning over to do, but with some focus, you can do it! 

Practice, practice, practice! Try playing around by making chains with both csc and chdc - for funsies.






Understanding the abbreviations:
- YO: Yarn Over
ch: Chain
hk: Hook
Rep: Repeat

play hard ... play hooky

    1. Hi Donna, thank you for your question. It's the same technique that I show in this tutorial (there is also a link to a video showing a live tutorial starting the video at about 11:45) http://playinhookydesigns.blogspot.com/p/csc-in-round.html
