How To Treble Crochet Left Handed

This is how to make a treble crochet stitch if you're left-handed. I'm going to show you now. This is the stitch that you'll need to make granny squares which we're going to do in a later video.

Most flowers, lots of crochets 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, it's 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 the V 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 only ever 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 them 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 them 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 US double crochet, UK 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. So I'm just going to finish this row, I'm always pulling 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 a treble crochet if you're left-handed. .
