Before you can learn how to crochet trebles, you will need to know how to crochet chains. If you don’t know how to crochet chains yet, you’ll need to learn to do that first!how to crochet trebles

How to Crochet Trebles


1. Crochet some chains. 10 – 15 will be enough for practising.how to crochet trebles

2. Put the yarn over the hook, then insert the hook into the 4th chain from the hook. how to crochet trebleshow to crochet treblesThese 3 chains will count as the first stitch, and you will need to work three chains at the end of every row, as the treble is a tall stitch.

3. Put the yarn over the hook again and pull it through. You will now have 3 loops on the hook.how to crochet trebleshow to crochet trebleshow to crochet trebles

4. Put the yarn over the hook once again and pull it through the two nearest loops on the hook. You will have 2 loops left on the hook.how to crochet trebleshow to crochet trebleshow to crochet trebles

5. Put the yarn over the hook once more and pull it through the two remaining loops. You have just made a treble!how to crochet trebleshow to crochet trebleshow to crochet trebles

6. Put the yarn over the hook and insert the hook into the next chain. Repeat from Step 3.

Keep going in this way until you reach the end of the row.how to crochet trebles

Then work 3 chains. These are your turning chains and will count as the first stitch.how to crochet trebles

Turn your work over. Put the yarn over the hook, miss out the chains and the first proper stitch, and insert the hook underneath the v of the next stitch. how to crochet trebleshow to crochet treblesPut the yarn over the hook again and pull it through.how to crochet trebleshow to crochet trebles

Tips To Help You Remember:

Putting the yarn over the hook is the first step in working the stitch. So remember to do this before you stick the crochet hook anywhere.

The first loop is the one that is already on the hook. The 2nd and 3rd are made by putting the yarn round the hook, firstly before putting the hook through the stitch, then again when you have pulled the yarn back through.

The loops are worked off the hook in 2 lots of 2.

Next time I’ll be showing you how to work half trebles!
