I put together this roundup of free half double crochet patterns for beginners because it’s important to practice the basic stitches before you more onto more complicated stitch patterns. Fancier stitches are really just a combination of the basic stitches. The more you familiarize yourself with the basic stitches, the easier it will be for you to learn new ones.

Practicing is the best way to learn, but you don’t just have to crochet squares in order to practice. Practice by making beautiful things! The half double crochet stitch by itself is beautiful. Don’t think that you have to use a fancy stitch to end up with a beautiful project.
