Half double stitch appearance looks like single crochet?

[Lillycrochets]

I've just learned the half double crochet stitch. I have been doing it and I just realized that the bottom half of my project looks correct, but the top (the most recent) looks like a single stitch. I know for sure I haven't changed anything. If you look on the other side, the correct stitch is on the top and incorrect on the bottom. What's going on??

Can you post pictures so we can see what you're talking about?

[Lillycrochets]

If you look closely, you can see the top side looks correct but the bottom does not.

Did that pic even post?

No, i don't see a photo in your post.

To post a pic, you have to upload a picture file from your computer.  At the bottom of the post is more reply options, click that and at the bottom you will see 'attach files'.  Click 'choose file', select the picture file from your computer, then click 'attach this file'.

 

The only things that occurs to me is that your tension might have gotten different somehow (this happens sometimes), or something similar to my habit of being forgetful while extended DC'ing and omitting the extra yo and start plain DC'ing...

Thank you all for trying to help, the pic wouldn't show cause I am using an iPad. I figured out what happened. I somehow stopped halfway through and started crocheting the bottom part of the scarf. Does that make sense?

Ah.  Some scarf patterns with a definite 'direction' are designed this way on purpose, so the ends look alike. Like this:

So it's a design feature....
