Treble Crochet Instructions

The treble crochet stitch, also referred to as triple crochet, yields open mesh fabric that's perfect for reusable grocery bags, airy summer over shirts and mesh beanies. Treble crochet works up quickly and uses less yarn than items crocheted from denser double and single crochet stitches. Learning to work the treble crochet stitch is easy; if you know how to make a crochet chain, you will quickly learn to do the stitch.

Treble Crochet Instructions
When you create a foundation chain for a treble crochet item, chain three stitches more than the number of treble crochets called for in the pattern. Once you've created your foundation chain, skip over the first four chain stitches. The skipped stitches will serve as the turning chain for your first row of stitches. Wrap the yarn around the crochet hook twice and crochet into the fifth chain stitch to begin your first treble crochet.

Once you've inserted your crochet hook into the fifth stitch, wrap the yarn around the hook once more and pull the wrapped yarn through the chain stitch. Four loops will remain on your hook. Wrap the yarn around the hook once more and pull it through the first two loops. Now you should have three remaining loops. Repeat the yarn over and pull through two loops until only one stitch remains on your crochet hook.

Insert the crochet hook into the next chain stitch to make another treble crochet. Chain four stitches at the beginning of each treble crochet row. This will allow the tall stitches to stand up straight at the end of the row.
Treble Crochet Variations
Try different yarn and crochet hook sizes to achieve a variety of effects. If you want a slightly less open fabric but you want to create tall treble crochet stitches, use bulky yarn and a smaller sized hook.

Treble crochet scarves and wraps from brushed mohair and suri alpaca to create an airy but surprisingly warm fabric. For an open mesh-like summer shawl, use sock or fingering weight yarn and a size J or larger crochet hook.
