What is a Tribble Stitch & How to crochet it - Easy Tripple crochet stitch

 

You've learned single, half double, and double crochet… now it’s time to go tall with the triple crochet stitch (also called treble crochet)! This is one of the tallest basic stitches in crochet, creating long, open stitches that work up lightning fast and add beautiful drape to your projects.

Let’s walk through how to do it, step by step!

✨ What You’ll Need:

• Worsted weight yarn (or lighter if you prefer more drape)
• Appropriate crochet hook (typically 5.0mm or as recommended on the yarn label)
• A basic foundation chain to practice on (try 15–20 chains)

🪡 What Is the Triple (Treble) Crochet Stitch?

The triple crochet (abbreviated as tr) is taller than the double crochet and creates a loose, airy fabric. It's ideal for lacy shawls, lightweight garments, and quick projects where you want big, bold stitches.

🔁 How to Triple Crochet – Step-by-Step

1️⃣ Yarn over (YO) twice

Wrap the yarn around your hook two times (this is what makes it a “triple”).

2️⃣ Insert the hook into the fifth chain from the hook.

3️⃣ Yarn over, and pull up a loop

You now have 4 loops on your hook.

4️⃣ Yarn over, and pull through the first 2 loops

Now you have 3 loops on the hook.

5️⃣ Yarn over, pull through the next 2 loops

Now 2 loops remain.

6️⃣ Yarn over, pull through the last 2 loops

Only 1 loop remains on your hook. That’s one triple crochet stitch done!

🔄 Continue the Row

Keep working triple crochet stitches into each chain across the row. When you reach the end:

• Chain 4 to begin the next row (this gives your tall stitch room to stand)
• Turn your work and continue stitching into the top of each tr from the previous row

🧶 Triple Crochet Tips:

• Count carefully – It’s easy to lose track with such tall stitches
• Watch your tension – Triple crochet is naturally looser, so keep it even
• Turning chain counts as a stitch in most patterns using tr

📌 What Can You Make with Triple Crochet?

• Light and lacy scarves
• Summer tops and beach cover-ups
• Shawls and wraps with great drape
• Decorative trims
• Fast baby blankets

The triple crochet is perfect for when you want open, breezy designs and want to work up projects super fast.
