 Hi everyone, welcome to Start Us Gold Crochet. This is Tasha, and today we're going to learn how to do a foundation half double crochet. Today I'm working with an eye hook, 5.5 millimeter, and a Moray yarn, which is just a worsted weight yarn. So go ahead, grab your yarn and your hook, and we're going to do a slip stitch. And for the foundation half double crochet, we're going to chain three. And similar to the single and the double foundation chains, you're going to yarn over and work into the very, sorry about that, yarn over, work into the very first chain, yarn over and pull up a loop. And then you're going to chain one and grab onto those two little chains at the bottom. And then you're going to yarn over and pull through all three just to complete your half double crochet. And so that was our first completed stitch. And then I'm going to go through those two to do the second stitch. I'm going to go through the two bottom chains that I was holding, yarn over and pull up a loop. And then chain one, grab them, yarn over and pull through all three. So that's two we've done. It's really easy to get the hang of. Once you get the hang of this, it's really easy to make these foundation chains. I love it. It's so much easier to create garments or pieces that need a little bit of stretch. And you can practice doing different stitches with foundation chains, different foundation chains like single and double. So this is the half double crochet and you see you have your top row there and then your chains are on the bottom. All right, that's it. If you have any questions, please leave it in the comments below. Thank you. Happy crocheting.
