For a double crochet, you yarn over and pull a loop through the target stitch. There are three loops on the hook, the one you started with, the yarn over, and the loop you just pulled up though the target stitch. Pulling a loop through two loops at a time means two strokes, or a double crochet. A treble builds on this.

For a treble crochet, you yarn over twice before pulling a loop through the target stitch. That means four loops on the hook. Pulling a loop through two loops at a time means three strokes, or a treble (triple) crochet. A double treble builds on this.

For a double treble crochet, you yarn over three times before pulling a loop through the target stitch for a total of five loops on hook. Pull a new loop through two loops on the hook four times.

To put it another way: The procedure is to yarn over three times, insert hook into the indicated stitch, yarn over and pull through the stitch (5 loops on hook at this point), yarn over and pull through two loops at a time, four times.

Just as in the double and treble above you increase the number of beginning yarn overs and the number of times you pull through two loops.

It seems like it ought to mean 2 x 3 or six loops, but it doesn't. A triple treble isn't 3 x 3 either, it's four yarnovers and five loops.

The abbreviation for a double treble is typically dtr.

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

This is different from a double crochet. In a double crochet, you never pull a yarn over through more than two loops. To make a half 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 through all three loops.

When you finish a row and turn, start a row of half double crochet by first chaining two stitches. This chain-2 counts as the first stitch of the row.

The question is a bit confusing. If you mean how do you work a dc stitch into a dc stitch, you work through the top two loops of the first double crochet stitch unless your pattern indicates otherwise.

If you mean work around it, as in a post stitch, for a front post stitch you yarn over (yo), insert hook from front at the right of the indicated stitch, go through to the back and come out again on the left side, at the front of the post of the stitch. Then complete a dc in the usual manner, working around the post instead of the loops, of the stitch.

There is also a back post stitch which is worked similarly. yo, insert hook from back to front, and complete dc as above.

to make a double crochet together .. begin your first double crochet as follows .. yarn over insert hook into stitch and pull up a loop , yarn over and pull thru 2 loops , you will have 2 loops left on your hook ...... NOW yarn over again and insert hook into" next stitch" and pull up a loop , yarn over and pull thru 2 loops , you will have 3 loops left on hook .. yarn over and pull thru all 3 loops .. you have now decreased by making 2 double crochet together ..

Not exactly, the size of the stitch is different because the half double crotchet is well, smaller than the double. Notice the word "half?" point is, if you have a pattern and it says 6 rows of double crotchet and you do 6 rows of half double crotchet, the size will be different.

Can you substitute single crochet instead of half double crochet?

yes you can but you will need more yarn as you are going to need more rows to make the same size item .. The width will not be effected at all .. if you are making a blanket it is easy just continue till same length .. if you are making a garment you will have to adjust the pattern for the height differences .. for example they may say you need 20 rows for an armhole and you may need 28 rows ..

How do you hafe double crochet?

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.
