Half Double Crochet Hat Patterns
Half double crochet hat patterns use a stitch that sits between single and double crochet in height, giving a fabric that is warm and fairly dense yet still stretchy. Half double crochet hats grow quickly in rounds. Working into the back loop or third loop adds a ribbed, knit-like texture popular for modern beanies.

What is the third loop in half double crochet?
The third loop is the horizontal bar that sits just below the top two loops of a half double crochet, on the back of the stitch. Working only into that bar pushes the top loops forward into a raised ridge, producing a ribbed texture that looks similar to knitting and adds stretch to hats.
