How to Crochet the Half Double Slip Stitch Photo Tutorial
The Half Double Slip stitch is an easy crochet stitch to work. It is a great alternative to a simple slip stitch.
One of the challenges of working a simple slip stitch is that the stitch can get very tight and difficult to work into. Working a half double slip stitch makes it so much easier to work into.
It also has a fun texture that is the same on both sides!

Materials
- Caron x Pantone yarn
- 5.5 mm crochet hook
Notes
This stitch is worked in rows in this tutorial. At the end of each row you will need to chain 1 and turn your work.
To begin, make a slip knot and then chain your desired number of chains. For this stitch pattern you will need any multiple of stitches for your foundation chain.
For my swatch I will be making a foundation chain of 21 chain stitches.
Instructions
Row One
In the second chain from the hook, *yarn over and insert your hook into the chain. Yarn over and pull up a loop continuing to pull the loop through all the loops on your hook. Repeat from * into each chain stitch across the row.
Chain one and turn.
Row Two
Yarn over and insert your hook in the first stitch, yarn over and draw up a loop continuing to pull the loop through all the loops on the hook. Repeat this into each stitch to the end of the row.
Chain one and turn.
And that’s it!
Continue to repeat row two for as long as you would like. Fasten off and weave in your ends.
