After mastering the double crochet and half treble crochet stitches, it’s time to move on to treble crochet (tr)
Treble crochet, also known as triple crochet, is one of the most popular stitches in crochet. This simple stitch is twice as high as a double crochet stitch, so your project will come together quickly. The oversized nature of the stitch means it’s perfect for bigger projects, such as blankets and shawls.
