Both hats were made using Chunky Aran |
After working a normal HDC row, turn your work and You will see the Diagonal Bar.
This is where we will be working when creating the front HDC stitch.
When working the BACK Half double crochet, we want to insert our hook and pull this diagonal 3rd bar to the BACK of the work to complete our HDC .
(On this row You are pushing the front and back loop V to the front of our work)
Working in this manner makes a beautiful KNIT 2, purl 1 effect, and makes this hat look like it's been knitted. But It's definitely a crocheted hat.
For more explanations of how we will work these stitches also. Please watch the Short videos below.
