A half double crochet is made by putting yarn over your hook, inserting your hook into the stitch and yarn over again, pull that back through the stitch, which will leave you with 3 loops on your hook. Yarn over once more and pull that through the 3 loops on the hook. That completes the half double crochet.
there is not a wrong way to crochet, but there is a wrong or cheat way of holding the crochet hook, hold it like a spoon. alot of beginners hold it wrong. I have to disagree with the above answer. Some people hold a crochet hook "knife" style, the body of the hook held within the hand, and some hold the hook "pencil" style, with the shaft of the hook laying on top of the hand. Either is correct, or anyway you hold the hook is correct if the stitches are coming out correctly, and the hold is comfortable. Some people train themselves to use both holds or even either hand in order to decrease fatigue from holding it only one way. -smcm

To double crochet you yarn over your hook, insert your hooke into the stitch and yarn over again. Pull it back through the stitch, you will have 3 loops on your hook. Yarn over again and pull that through the next two loops on your hook. This will leave you with two loops on your hook. Yarn over once more and pull through the last two loops on your hook. This will leave you with a single loop on your hook and this completes the double crochet.
It's called a locker hook and is used for weaving, not crochet. But it sure does look like a crochet hook.
Almost like you make the double crochet. Wrap the yarn over your hook or yarn over, put it through the loop and pull the yarn through, then wrap the yarn over the hook again and put it through all three loops on the hook
The following is the American meaning of double crochet. The British system would call this stitch a treble. A British d.c. is an American single crochet. Double crochet is one of the three basic stitches of crochet: chain, single crochet and double crochet. To make a double crochet: 1. Put the working yarn over the hook (this is called a "yarn over"). 2. Insert the hook in the next stitch in the row below. 3. Yarn over again and pull that yarn over back out through the stitch. There are now three loops on the hook. 4. Yarn over again, and pull that yarn over through the first two looks on the hook. Two loops remain on the hook. 5. Yarn over again, and pull that yarn over through the remaining two loops. When you finish a row and turn, start a row of double crochet by first chaining three stitches. This chain-3 counts as the first stitch of the row. For a single crochet, chain only one to start a new row.
Hdc is the abreviation for half double crochet. When you double crochet you wrap wool around the hook before you push the hook through the stitch to pull up a loop. After you pull up the loop you have three loops on your hook. Usually you will then pull a loop through two of the loops and pull a second loop through the remaining two loops. With the half double crochet you will pull one loop through all three loops.
that would be a size P crochet hook
