To create a smooth transition between short rows and avoid holes, there are two ways to do this:

1. 1. Method 1:
      Insert the hook under the horizontal bar (ch 1 of the previous row), yarn over, then insert the hook into the back loop of the next stitch. Yarn over, pull through, yarn over again, and pull through all four loops on the hook to complete an HDC.
   2. Method 2:
      Bring the working yarn to the right side. Insert the hook through both loops of the bottom stitch on the back side, yarn over, then insert the hook into the back loop of the next stitch. Yarn over, pull through, yarn over again, and pull through all loops on the hook to complete an HDC.
