A half- column , a connecting column, a half- column without a crochet, a hook, a blind loop, an attach, a connecting loop, a blind loop - these are all different names for the same element of crocheting. It is a tight, dense, low loop designed to close circles, join rows or transitions to knitting other loops, without breaking the thread.
This knitting element is used to close the rows in direct or circular knitting, to carry out the necessary decreases on the edges of the product, to stitch together work elements, as well as to connect motifs. With a half-column, fringes of details, collars, necks, armholes, sleeves, sides of square or rectangular motifs are conveniently and efficiently designed. With the help of a connecting column they perfectly seal the edges, eliminate stretching and other possible defects. Being able to properly knit a connecting loop is an important skill for every needlewoman. A blind loop allows for a very neat and durable connection. In this article we will tell you how to crochet a half-column. This is nothing complicated, and you will surely succeed!

In various graphical schemes, a half-column may be designated differently, for example, in the form of an arc, a black air loop, or black
th triangle.
How to Crochet a Half Column
To knit a connecting loop, it is necessary to hook one or two arches of the loop of the column of the previous or set row, so that a new loop is obtained. Then this new loop extends through the main worker. If you use single crochet half-columns in your work, you should carefully control the thread tension: all loops should be free. Crochet a half-crochet is also known as Bosnian crochet. This type of knitting is widespread in Bosnia and other countries of the Muslim world. The canvas created by single crochet columns is particularly durable and wear-resistant. Such a simple element, like a connecting loop, allows you to create a fairly heavy and dense canvas.
How to crochet a half-column (connecting column)
So, let's try together with you to knit a half-column without a crochet. To begin with, we will make a chain of several air loops. The chain loops must be made sufficiently free. Next, insert the hook into the very first loop as shown in the figure.
Now grab the thread and pull out a new loop - on the hook we got two loops.
Carefully pull the new loop through the main loop (first) on the hook.
After that, one loop should remain on the hook.
Thus, we have obtained a single crochet. With a little practice, you can quickly stretch the working thread simultaneously through two loops. And do not forget that when crocheting with a half crochet, it is necessary to constantly control the thread tension. We hope that our simple knitting lesson has helped you learn how to create a crochet half-column quickly and easily.
