I love trying new and beautiful crochet stitches and this stitch is quite simple and perfect for adventurous beginners.

I’ve used the half double crochet working in between the stitches in several projects, so I decided to share a photo tutorial with you on how to do it!

Working between posts is an alternative to working through both loops, back loops or front loops.

To work between stitches, the hook is inserted underneath all three loops of the stitch. It’s a gorgeous and very easy crochet stitch that creates a beautiful and feminine texture.

Once you learn how to work half double crochet in between the stitches from the photo tutorial below, you can check out these beautiful crochet patterns using this stitch:

Step 2

Second row starts with chain 2 (doesn’t count as a stitch here and throughout). Then, yarn over and insert your hook underneath the three loops between stitches – notice the open space between the first and the second stitch on the right.
