Linked half double crochet

In this step-by-step crochet tutorial I show how to make linked half double crochet. This stitch is very easy to make and it is a repeat of one row, so it looks the same on both sides. The fabric turn out quite thick and it uses quite some yarn too. However, the texture is great!

For this tutorial I use Järbo 8/4 100% Cotton Mercerized & Gassed 50 g yarn, color: 32032 (frosty green), and a 2.0 mm hook.
