This stitch uses a simple double crochet decrease to create a uniquely soft, beautifully textured fabric. Each stitch begins where the previous one ends, sharing a stitch and forming a continuous, interlinked design… The result is a dense, cozy fabric that’s perfect for warm, luxurious blankets and scarves. It works especially well with worsted-spun, non-superwash wool yarn, creating a fabric that is simply irresistible.

If you want fabric that moves beautifully without feeling stiff or bulky, the wide half double crochet is a stitch worth knowing.
