How to Crochet: Treble Crochet Stitches (tr)

Treble crochet stitches are very similar to double crochet stitches. The photo to the right shows a small swatch of treble stitches. They are longer than double crochet stitches and normally create a more airy piece.

Here is how to crochet treble crochet stitches: yarn over 2 times, insert hook into stitch, yarn over, pull up a loop, (yarn over, pull up 2 loops) 3 times

For further explanation, here is a picture tutorial! This tutorial is for both right and left handed people. For left handed pictures, roll your mouse over the image and it will change for you.

Step 1: Yarn over ( wrap the yarn around your hook) 2 times



Step 2: Insert your hook into the stitch you want to make your treble crochet stitch in





Step 3: Yarn over ( wrap the yarn around your hook)


Step 4: Pull the strand of yarn through 1 loop on your hook. You should now have 4 loops on your hook.



Step 5: Yarn over ( wrap the yarn around your hook)



Step 6: Pull the strand of yarn through 2 loops on your hook. You should now have 3 loops on your hook.



Step 7: Yarn over ( wrap the yarn around your hook)



Step 8: Pull the strand of yarn through 2 loops on your hook. You should now have 2 loops on your hook.



Step 9: Yarn over ( wrap the yarn around your hook)



Step 10: Pull the strand of yarn through the final 2 loops on your hook. You should now have 1 loop on your hook.



Congrats! You just completed one treble crochet stitch! You can make rows and rows of treble crochet stitches. Just make sure you chain 4 (the height of a treble crochet stitch) before starting new rows. This way your work won’t bunch up on the ends.

    Your work is so clear. I am going to recommend you to some of my newbie crochet friends.

    I am new to crochet too. Just over 6 months. I have been experimenting with different stitches and find the Puff Stitch impossible. I can’t get the hook through all the loops on the hook. I have tried different yarns and hooks. Any suggestions on what I am doing wrong? Thanks!!

    Hi Donna! Try crocheting a little bit looser. Like after you make a loop pull up on it a little and so that it’s not so tight around the hook and easier to pull through all the loops at the end :)

    Doing a cluster is the same thing just with more stitches than 2.
