Directions for working Foundation Half Double Crochet.
Beginning: Make a slip knot onto your hook and complete two (2) chains (ch). Take a moment and look at how the chain stitch looks from the front and how it looks on the back side. You will place the yarn over you hook and then you insert you hook into the first chain, yarn over and pull through the first loop (grasp this stitch and keep it marked with your fingers), yarn Over and pull through three loops. Second Stitch: Yarn over and insert hook into the stitch you grasp, pull through one loop, yarn over and pull through three loops Third Stitch: Continue exactly the same as you did for the second stitch and you will continue to crochet your chainless foundation just like this until you have the required numbers of chains needed for your pattern.
