 Hi there, welcome to Start a School Crochet. This is Tasha. Today's tutorial is going to be the half double crochet two together. And here I've created a little swatch that has the half double crochet two together in rows. And I actually chained one in between so that I could have an even swatch. But for the purpose of decreasing, which is what you're doing when you create a half double crochet two together, I'm not going to use a chain for this row that we're about to do. So I've already chained two. So the first step to create a half double crochet two together is we're going to yarn over first, insert your hook into your first stitch, yarn over and pull up the loop. So you have three on your hook. Then you're going to yarn over, insert your hook in the next stitch, pull up a loop, you'll have five loops on your hook, yarn over and pull through all five loops. And let's do it again. So yarn over, insert your hook, pull up a loop, yarn over, insert your hook, pull up a loop, yarn over, pull through all five loops. And you repeat that for however many decreases you'd like. You're decreasing by one stitch with each half double crochet two together that you create. So we have six stitches that we started with and we went down to just three stitches. So that's a decrease. If you don't want to decrease and you want to create a cool pattern using this technique in rows, you can just chain one in between. Since you decreased by one, you just have to make up for that decrease by adding one. So then you can just go ahead and you can create a swatch or a sweater or whatever you'd like to create. There'll be a slight gap in between the stitches, but as you can see it does create kind of like a cool pattern. See like that. So this is with no, this is straight up, straight up decreasing, and then this is when you're adding chains in between. Alright guys, if you have any questions, leave me a message in the comments below. And if you want me to do a tutorial for you, I'm happy to do that. Any kind of stitch you want to learn, I'll do my best to create a video. Thanks guys. Happy crocheting! In this tutorial I've used Heartland yarn by Lion Brand and I'll go ahead and put the link for this yarn in the description below in case you love it. Alright guys, bye.
