Crochet Foundation Treble Technique

• Marriner Yarns Aran
• 5mm crochet hook

Pattern written in US terms using Craft Yarn Council abbreviations:

• st(s) – stitch(es)
• yo – yarn over
• ch – chain
• tr – treble

No special stitches were used in this pattern.

Step 1: Start with a slip knot and ch4 (this is the only chaining you will do when making a foundation treble stitch).

Step 2: Yo twice and insert your hook in the 4th ch from hook, yo and pull up a loop (4 loops on hook), yo and pull through the first loop on hook (still 4 loops left on hook).

Step 3: Yo and pull through 2 loops on hook (3 loops left on hook), yo and again pull through 2 loops on hook (2 loops left on hook), finally, yo and pull through the 2 loops left on hook.

Step 4: Let’s create another base chain. Yo twice and turn your work with the bottom up to expose the first base chain.

Step 5: Next, we will make the treble stitch on top of that base chain.

Step 6: Let’s make another foundation treble stitch (ftr) from start to end.

Repeat step 6 until you have the required length or number of stitches.
