To begin, create a slip knot on your crochet hook. This will serve as your initial loop to work into. Make sure the knot is secure but not too tight.

Step 5: Pull Through All Loops

To complete the half-double crochet stitch, wrap the yarn over your hook one more time and pull it through all three loops on your hook. This action creates a new loop on your hook and secures the stitch. Congratulations, you've successfully completed a half-double crochet stitch!
