The indecomposable representations in characteristic two of the groups PSL(2, q) where q is congruent to 3 or 5 modulo 8 are classified. For q = 3 or 5 the classification is obtained by explicit construction of modules, using the Green correspondence to prove completeness. For larger q, the classification is obtained using equivalences between appropriate categories of modules.
