Half Double Crochet Decrease (hdc dec)
This is my version of the hdc dec, specifically for this pattern as a traditional hdc dec is a bit too thick.
*to make a hdc dec: yo, insert hook into st and pull up a loop. Immediately insert hook into next st and pull up a loop. 4 loops on hook. Yo and pull through all 4 loops. First hdc dec is made.
Gauge
At the end of Round 4, it should measure 3″ across.
