ldc stitch

The linked double crochet stitch is a useful technique when you need to create a fabric with little to no gaps. The linked double crochet stitch (LDC) has the same height as the regular double crochet, but it’s similar to a single crochet in terms of density. However, it isn’t as stiff as a piece of fabric made entirely in SC, as it retains the drape of the regular DC.
