The treble crochet stitch is taller than the double crochet stitch; the height is achieved with an extra yarn over at the beginning. Likewise, the double treble crochet stitch has one extra yarn over to become taller than the treble crochet stitch. And if you want to grow even taller still, you can yarn over again and get the stitch called the triple treble. The triple treble crochet stitch, sometimes called the treble treble, is abbreviated TrTr. It is used when you really want long crochet stitches, and it looks especially great when worked in bulky yarn to create warm but openwork scarves and blankets. If you know how to crochet the basic stitches, you can easily learn how to crochet the triple treble. If this is the first triple treble of the project and you are working into the foundation chain then you will insert the hook into the sixth chain from hook. If you have just turned your work after a row and need to first creating a turning chain, your turning chain will have a height of five stitches. The photo that accompanies this step shows the first “yarn over and pull through 2”, leaving you with five loops on the hook. We’ll take a look at the subsequent steps: Likewise, you can make slightly taller crochet stitches with more yarn overs at the beginning (in step one). If you yarn over five times then repeat the other steps as normal, you will get a quadruple treble crochet stitch. If you yarn over six times instead, you will get a quintuple crochet stitch. These very tall basic crochet stitches are not seen very often but they are really fun to add to your repertoire and can be great for design details. In fact, a row of them at the end of your crochet projects can add great funky fringe to any basic design!
