My favorite is the half double stitch. I learned a new stitch today, the lemon peel stitch. Thanks.

[QUOTE=Barbara G.;206891]Crochet Related FUN Question:
What is your favorite crochet stitch? Why is it your favorite? [/QUOTE]
The most versatile stitch I know is the crab stitch; I use is as an edging on both my crocheted and knitted items to give a firm and decorative border. It works on things from blankets to scarves.

Half double
I like the half double crochet. It is pretty and can be used in different ways.

Half double
I make a lot of doll clothes. When you are working on the skirt, sometimes you crochet in the back loop to make a ridge that you can then later add another color and make a ruffle. You can also use the hdc and crochet in the extra loop. It makes a nice row on the front of the item. I also have a pattern for a doll purse/bassinette on one of the rows you crochet in the loop below the top two and it makes the side stay down. On the neck of dresses it also gives a different look. Sorry if I didn't explain very well.

Hi Tulip and Jan Marie, My apologies for the delay in answering your posts; had a small run in with some stairs. In a nut shell, chain an even number, dc in he second chain, sc in the next chain, dc in the next. You always begin a row with a ch1 and end the row with a dc. It's a nice dense stitch for scarves and lapghans. Dafy
