How To Treble Crochet

The most commonly used stitch in crochet is the treble crochet. I'm going to show you how to make the treble crochet stitch now. This is the stitch you'll need to make granny squares, which we're going to do in a later video, most flowers.

Lots of crochet is made with the treble crochet. So, to begin this row, we need to make three chains because the treble crochet is three chains tall. So, for the double crochet is one chain, the half treble is two chains, and the treble crochet is three chains tall, and we're going to again turn our work towards us so that we're working back across the line of stitches that we've just made.

So, we're going to begin by going into the second stitch in the row. Again, we yarn over before we insert into the stitch and then you're going to push your hook from front to back under both legs of that stitch. Yarn around the hook and pull through the stitch.

Now, so far, it's exactly the same as the half treble. We've got three on the hook. Here's where it changes.

We're going to yarn over and pull through just two of the loops so we've still got two on the hook and then, we're going to yarn over and pull through the remaining two, so you've got one left on the hook. Whenever you finish a crochet stitch, you should have one loop on the hook. If you have more than one, you haven't finished the stitch.

Okay, let's do it again. Yarn around the hook first, insert into the next stitch along, yarn over, and pull back through that stitch so you've got three on the hook, and then yarn over, and pull through just two, and yarn over and pull through the last two. Again, yarn over first, insert into the stitch, yarn around the hook, and pull back through the stitch.

Yarn over and pull through two of the loops, and then yarn over and pull through the last two. I'm going to carry on making the treble crochet as we go across the row. This is the U.

S. double crochet, U.K.

treble crochet. This is the stitch that you'll need to make granny squares. It's also used a lot for blankets and garments, and almost everything.

It's probably the most common stitch that you use in crochet. I'm just going to finish this row. I'm always pulling through two at a time.

Nearly there. Now, when you get to the end of this row, it's important to remember to crochet into the beginning, turning chain from the row below. This is the two chain turning chain from the half treble row.

So, we need to insert into that chain and do our last stitch into that chain. Okay? So, that's treble crochet. You can see it's taller still than the previous one.

And that's how you make the treble crochet stitch. .
