Triple Crochet, also known as Treble Crochet, is an extremely long stitch which makes for an open, lacy fabric that’s perfect for shawls and summer tops. The stitch takes a bit longer to do, but it covers a lot of ground quickly.
Learning how to triple crochet doesn’t have to be difficult. This video makes learning a new basic stitch so simple. You’ll be making a beautiful cardigan or shawl in no time!
First Row
For the triple crochet, we’re going to start by crocheting the chain. Your pattern will tell you how many chains to start with. To do our first triple crochet, we’re going into the fifth chain from the hook.
Then we’re going to yarn over twice, go into the fifth chain, yarn over again and pull through one loop. You should now have four loops on your hook.
Now we’re going to yarn over and pull through two loops. So now we have three loops on the hook. Yarn over again and pull through two loops. You should now have two loops on your hook. Now yarn over again and pull through both loops.
You’ve made your first treble crochet stitch!
Continuing on, we’re going to yarn over twice and go into the next chain. Yarn over and pull up a loop so you have four loops on your hook.
Yarn over and pull through two loops. So now we have three loops on the hook. Yarn over again and pull through two loops. You should now have two loops on your hook. Now yarn over again and pull through both loops.
Continue on like this for the remainder of the chain.
Next Row
To move onto the next row, you’re going to start with a chain four and turn your work. Your pattern will tell you if the chain four counts as a triple crochet stitch. If it does, we will just continue on like normal.
Yarn over twice and this time go into the next stitch. You want to make sure you are going beneath both bars of the stitch. Then, once again yarn over and pull up a loop so you have four loops on your hook.
Yarn over and pull through two loops. So now we have three loops on the hook. Yarn over again and pull through two loops. You should now have two loops on your hook. Now yarn over again and pull through both loops. Continue in this way until the end of your pattern.
