Treble or Triple Crochet Stitch



The Treble Crochet stitch is also known as the Triple Crochet stitch. 


Let's just jump into how to do a treble crochet stitch.


The Basic Instructions

  1. Yarn over the hook, twice. 
  2. Insert the hook into the stitch on the row/round below the current position.
  3. Grab the working yarn with the hook and pull through to make another loop on the hook.
  4. Yarn over the hook and pull through the first 2 loops on the hook.
  5. Yarn over the hook and pull through the next 2 loops on the hook.
  6. Yarn over the hook and pull through the last 2 loops on the hook.


A Little More Info


When starting at the beginning of a row/round, a treble crochet stitch (trc) needs 3 or 4 chains to give your row the correct height. You can also start with a chainless starting treble crochet. I found a good YouTube video from Tamara Kelly.  I feel that it's a bit fiddly to start a row like that, I like to start with the chains.

In Conclusion:

I have used the treble crochet in a lot of patterns, it is very versatile when needing extra visual or texture elements.
