How to Do It
Basic Principle:
You’ll be using a crochet hook to form a very tall crochet stitch by using two yarn overs and pulling through two loops at a time.
Steps
- Wrap the yarn around the hook (yarn over) twice, then insert your hook through the top two loops (the top chain) of the row below.
- Catch the yarn (yarn over) and pull it through the stitch loops. You should have four loops on the hook—the one you just made, the two from the yarn-over wraps, and the one from the previous stitch.
- Yarn over and pull the yarn through the first two loops.
- Yarn over again and pull the yarn through the next two loops.
- Yarn over again and pull the yarn through the remaining two loops, leaving only one loop on the hook.
- Congratulations! You’ve completed a triple crochet stitch!
