My least favourite stitch.

Which one do you like more? I'm a big fan of half doubles personally, I use them more than anything else.

Double crochet because of the way I use my hook and hold yarn.

I don't get the hate with single crochet, I really like this stitch 😭 I like that it's such a simple stitch, I can relax and do something else while single crocheting, it's nice !
Good luck with your project! What are you making ?

Also I'm trying to recreate the bag I made. I haven't posted a picture yet, but it was made with a lot of half doubles which made it a pretty quick project, but now the bag doesn't really function well since it stretches too much.

Oh no, so annoying when it stretches 😬 I hope the bag recreation goes well !

Oh they're extremely useful, and there are so many things out there that would not function without them (almost all amigurumi projects). They're necessary for sure. I just personally don't enjoy how slow building it is if that makes sense. I prefer half doubles for the slight height difference.

That makes sense yeah ! I actually hadn't thought of the time aspect, but I understand better why it can be an annoying stitch. While I like the sc, it's definitely satisfying to see a project build up quickly in dc or hdc ! Now that I think abt it, I should use hdc more, it's a cool stitch !
