The treble crochet stitch is sometimes referred to as the triple crochet stitch. The abbreviation for the treble crochet is tc or tr depending on the pattern's origin. Our sample is worked through both loops of the previous row.

Any weight yarn with the appropriate size crochet hook. Our sample was made using worsted weight yarn and a size H (5.0 mm) crochet hook.

You can work any number of stitches but add three to the base chain.

1st row: Skip 3 ch, tr into next chain and each ch across, turn.
