Stitch Class: Treble Crochet

Posted on Nov. 30, 2007 by Brenda Stratton

The treble crochet (tr) is a basic stitch though it's used less often than the single-crochet or the double-crochet stitch. It is commonly used in doilies, afghans and other projects where a lacy or open effect is desired, although it can also be used to make a solid crochet fabric. Because it is taller then either the single crochet or the double crochet, the work goes much faster. To see how this stitch is worked, click here.
