  Welcome to my blog! Today, we’re learning about one of my favorite textured stitches — the Half Double Crochet in Back Loops Only , often written as HDC BLO . If you love crochet stitches that are simple yet add beautiful dimension to your projects, you’re going to enjoy this one! 🌸 What Is the Half Double Crochet in Back Loops Only? The Half Double Crochet (HDC) is already a popular stitch because it’s quick, soft, and easy to learn. But when you work it in the back loops only , it completely transforms — giving your fabric a ribbed texture that’s both flexible and visually striking.

That’s what creates those beautiful horizontal ridges that look like little rows of knitting! ✨ Why You’ll Love This Stitch The HDC B...

🧶 DIY Crochet Patch Idea – Fix a Hole in Your T-Shirt with Style! Hello, lovely crocheters! 👋 Welcome back to my crochet corner! Today, I’m sharing a creative and practical DIY crochet project — how to fix a hole in your clothes using crochet . It’s a simple and sustainable way to give your favorite t-shirt a new, handmade touch. 🌸 The Backstory We had a lovely new shirt that ended up with a small hole (you can see it in the photo below 👇). Instead of throwing it away, I decided to use crochet to fix it. I made a small crochet pocket using single crochet stitches and added an initial letter for my child’s name. To finish it off, I added a blanket stitch across the top and hand-stitched it neatly onto the t-shirt. Here’s the final result — a beautifully repaired t-shirt that looks stylish and personalized! 🎥 Watch the Tutorial Want to see exactly how I did it?
