Crochet Tips: Foundation Treble Crochet.

Continuing the photo tutorial of foundation stitches let us now look at Treble foundation stitches.

With a slip stitch on the hook, chain 4.

Yarn over the hook, insert hook in the stitch furthest from the hook.

Yarn over and pull up a loop.

Yarn over and pull through first loop only. (Chain St made)

Yarn over and pull through first two loops only, (Once)

Yarn over and pull through last two loops, (Twice) First Treble Made.

*Yarn over and insert hook as indicated.

 Yarn over and pull up a loop. (Loop)

Yarn over and pull through first loop only. (Chain made)

Yarn over and pull through first two loops only. (Once)

Yarn over and pull through last two loops.** (Treble made)

Repeat from * to ** for each Treble required.

Ta Dah!

All those yarn overs and pull throughs can become quite hypnotic so if like me you get confused about how far you've got try chant something like "Loop, Chain, Once, Treble".

I hope you find this as freeing as I do, it helps me to get a much more even tension on my first row.

In the next post we'll look at magic rings, so that we can almost get rid of those pesky chain stitches altogether!
