Treble Crochet (TR): A Beginner-Friendly Guide

Treble crochet (TR), also known as triple crochet in US crochet terminology, is one of the tallest basic crochet stitches. It creates an open, airy fabric with excellent drape, making it ideal for scarves, shawls, blankets, lace patterns, and lightweight garments. Because the stitch is taller than a double crochet, projects grow much faster.

How to Make a Treble Crochet

  1. Yarn over twice.
  2. Insert your hook into the next stitch.
  3. Yarn over and pull up a loop (4 loops on the hook).
  4. Yarn over and pull through the first 2 loops.
  5. Yarn over and pull through the next 2 loops.
  6. Yarn over and pull through the last 2 loops.

Repeat these steps for each treble crochet stitch.

Why Use Treble Crochet?

  • Creates a soft, lightweight fabric
