Hi Christine, hdc is the abbreviation for the half double crochet stitch. Although I don't have a video, here's a step by step photo tutorial on the stitch: How to Crochet: Half Double Crochet Stitches (hdc) Let me know if you get stuck on any of the steps and I'll try to explain it further for you.

This is so AWESOME! I just made one for a Christmas gift and plan to make more. I even made a cute little edging around it, I’m thinking picot next time. Thanks Rachel!

I made this project because I needed a quick “crochet fix” without starting a major project. I love it because it’s useful and cute. (I love little boxes, so why not crochet a bowl?) Mine isn’t quite as pretty as the picture, so I’ll just have to practice by making more!!! Thanks for a great project Rachel!

This project was perfect for using up a small amount of yarn from my stash. TY!

Hey Sarah, there is a way to do a rectangle granny square I’m sure. If you google “rectangle granny square” a few patterns should pop up. I remember seeing them before.

Well, I made one! I think I need to do it tighter or go down a hook, because it’s not as stiff as I’d like.
The only thing I did differently is the last row. Instead of slip stitching around, I did a reverse single crochet. It gives it a nifty little border, I guess.
Thanks for the pattern, Rachel!

Oh, a quick question.. my husband wants an afghan that’s just one large granny square. I was wondering if it’s possible to do a large granny rectangle instead? That way it looks more like an afghan.

It’s open. But if you would like a top, you can make a second one, but perhaps a bit shorter and leave the last row of slip stitches out. This way the top is not as tight or big as the dish.
