Crossed Half Double Crochet Stitch Photo Tutorial

Learn how to crochet the Crossed Half Double Crochet Stitch with this complete photo tutorial.

Basically you will skip a stitch, place a half double crochet stitch and then come back and place another half double crochet stitch in the stitch you skipped.
