Basic Stitches Beginner
Treble Crochet (tr)
A tall stitch that creates an open, airy fabric with a lot of drape. Also known as Triple Crochet.
The treble crochet is taller than the double crochet. Because of its height, it creates a very flexible fabric with large spaces between stitches, making it perfect for lightweight shawls and blankets.
How to do it
- Yarn Over Twice: Wrap the yarn around the hook two times before inserting it into the stitch.
- Insert Hook: Push the hook into the next stitch.
- Yarn Over & Pull Up: Wrap the yarn and pull a loop through (4 loops on hook).
- Yarn Over & Pull Through 2: Pull through the first two loops (3 loops remaining).
- Yarn Over & Pull Through 2: Pull through the next two loops (2 loops remaining).
- Yarn Over & Pull Through 2: Pull through the final two loops.
Usage
Treble crochets are often used in “post stitches” to create cables or in lacy patterns to provide maximum height with minimal yarn density.
