Specialty Stitch

Invisible Half Double Crochet Decrease

  1. Yarn over (as you normally would for a hdc).
  2. Insert your hook into the front loop only (FLO) of the next stitch.
  3. Then insert your hook into the front loop only of the stitch after that.
  4. You now have three loops on the hook: the original yarn over, and two front loops.
  5. Yarn over again, and pull through all loops on the hook.
Notes
  • This pattern includes a full video tutorial designed to clarify any techniques or steps that are better demonstrated visually than explained in writing.
  • You’ll begin by making two bust panels (front and back), followed by two body panels that you’ll attach to the bust. Next, sew the shoulders together. Work the pockets directly onto the body panels, then seam the sides of the dress and the pockets. Finish with a bottom band, and add one round of hdc around the neckline and armholes.
  • This pattern uses intarsia crochet. Intarsia crochet involves using separate yarn bobbins or small balls for each color block, ensuring that yarn is not carried across the back of the work. Follow the color chart carefully and manage yarn changes neatly to maintain a clean finish.
  • Row 1 on Body - Front Panel is foundation half double crochet.
  • Ch 2 doesn’t count as a stitch.
  • You will be working with hdc: when instructions say “(B) x 7” it means 1 hdc in the next 7 sts with yarn B.
  • Each size has a link to the “Progress Tracker” for easy to follow instructions.
  • For hdc2tog make invisible hdc2tog.
