Crossed Half Double Crochet Stitch Photo Tutorial

This beautiful Crossed Half Double Crochet Stitch almost looks knit and is a very simple stitch pattern.

In many of the tutorials that I found for this stitch, there is a row of regular hdc stitches between the rows of crossed half double crochet stitches.

In this tutorial, each row will have the crossed stitches and only the very first row will be regular hdc stitches.

I really love how the stitch looks when it’s worked in this manner.

There is nothing complicated here, so let’s get started.
