Crochetextended half double crochet
Description
A variation of the standard half double crochet stitch that includes an extra chain step at the base to add height and flexibility.
Detailed explanation
The extended half double crochet (ehdc) is slightly taller than a regular half double crochet but shorter than a double crochet. By adding a single chain-like motion at the bottom of the stitch, the resulting fabric becomes airier and has better drape. This makes it an excellent choice for sweaters, blankets, and accessories where you want texture without stiffness.
