With a little trick you can transform regular half double crochet stitches into knit alike stitches, that are also very elastic!

The look of the crocheted piece worked in the round will be slightly different from the one worked in rows.

Also learn how to make an almost invisible seam and color change in the round.

This technique was used to make the Bella Bricks Wrist Warmers/Fingerless Gloves.
