This simple technique can make a big difference in the finished product and can help ensure that the corners are neat and tidy.

To use the crowd crochet trick, begin by working the half double crochet stitch as usual. When you reach the corner, work two half double crochets in the same stitch, instead of just one.

Then, continue working the half double crochet stitch along the next side of the project. When you reach the next corner, work two half double crochets in the same stitch again.

By working two half double crochets in the same stitch at each corner, you will be adding an extra stitch to the stitch count for each row.

This will prevent the stitch count from decreasing when folding the corner, and will help ensure that the corners are neat and even.

If you are new to crocheting or struggling to master the half double crochet technique, don't give up. The crowd crochet trick may take some practice to get the hang of, but with patience and perseverance, you can master it.

Once you do, you will find that crocheting corners using the half double crochet technique is a breeze.
