Hello crochet lovers, are you looking to make a half-double crochet two together but you can’t figure out how to make it? Don’t worry, here I am to the rescue!

To work a hdc2tog, you’ll first need to work two half double crochet stitches into the same stitch. Then, yarn over and pull through all three loops on your hook. This will decrease one stitch from your total stitch count.

The Invisible hdc2tog is a great way to decrease your stitches while keeping your work looking neat and tidy. This technique is worked by hiding the stitch you are decreasing within the previous two stitches, resulting in a much less noticeable decrease.

This makes it a great choice for projects where you want to maintain a clean and professional appearance. To work the Invisible hdc2tog, simply insert your hook into the first stitch, yarn over, and pull up a loop. Then, insert your hook into the next stitch, yarn over, and pull up a loop. Finally, yarn over and draw through all three loops on your hook to complete the decrease.

Hi, I’m Mahnoor Malik Awan, a Crocheter, artist, freelancer, and writer. Art & Craft have been my best buddy for as far as I can remember. I used to make clothes and write stories when playing with my dolls. I even tried to record a film with my camera phone at the age of 10, where I was the director, writer, producer at the same, along with making the dolls act. I love to crochet, there’s nothing that I haven’t tried with it; from home decor to amigurumi to clothes and much more. I still remember how I used to sleep all day after school and one day my Mom bought me a hook and a ball of yarn and dropped me at my neighbors. She said “No More Sleeping In Noon.” And drove off. I’m still grateful to her for making this decision for me. I live in Pakistan with My Parents and Siblings. My Love for Craft has Honoured me with the Title of Crocheter and Ghostwriter. The Two jobs that don’t feel like working at all.
