Step-by-Step Crochet Letter H Pattern
Step 1: Make the First Section
Make a foundation chain of 19 stitches. Starting in the second chain from the hook, work 18 single crochet stitches. Turn, chain 1, and work 18 single crochet stitches. Turn again, chain 1, and work 8 single crochet stitches.
Next, chain 6. Starting in the second chain from the hook, work 5 single crochet stitches, then work 10 single crochet stitches. Keep track of the stitch counts as you go; counting each group before moving to the next instruction can help prevent mistakes.
Step 2: Add the Second Section
Using another yarn, make 9 chain stitches and connect to the middle of the piece with 2 slip stitches. Make 8 chain stitches. Starting in the second chain from the hook, work 18 single crochet stitches. Turn, chain 1, and work 18 single crochet stitches. Turn, chain 1, and work 18 single crochet stitches.
When joining the yarn, make sure the connection is secure but not so tight that the fabric puckers. The video can be useful here if you want to see where the middle connection is made.
Finishing and Using Your Crochet Letter H
Once the stitches are complete, fasten off and use the darning needle to weave in the yarn ends. Check the outline of the letter and gently arrange the fabric into shape. The finished piece is a flat crochet applique that can be used as part of a decoration project.
You can work the letter in other colors or use multicolor yarn to coordinate it with your project. If making a set of letters, using the same yarn and hook for each one can help keep their size and appearance consistent.
