Triple Crochet and Double Triple Crochet Stitch

This entry will tell you how to do both the triple crochet and the double triple crochet. They don't look that different to me, so I'm not sure what the differences are, as far as looks are concerned. Below you will find the steps for both stitches. Let me know if anything needs to be clarified!

The triple crochet stitch is something that leaves a lot of space between the stitches. The triple employs the same technique as the double, where you yarn over multiple times between the stitch. This stitch would be a good way of covering a lot of ground in a short amount of time, although there are gaps between the stitches, so I don't know if it is something to be used when making something intended to keep you warm.

As always, start with a good chain stitch. Once you have your chain to the appropriate length you want, chain five more.

1. Yarn over twice and insert your hook into the 5th chain stitch from your hook.
2. Yarn over and pull it through. You should now have a total of four loops on your hook.
3. Yarn over and pull through the first two loops on your hook.
4. Yarn over and pull through the next two.
5. Then yarn over and pull through the last two.

Repeat these steps until you complete your last triple stitch in the last chain stitch of your base chain.

Chain four and turn your work (or turn your work and chain four, I don't think it really matters to be honest).

Yarn over twice and, skipping the first stitch, insert your hook into the second stitch (the chain stitches you did will take the place of the first stitch), yarn over and pull through. Repeat steps 1-5 to complete your triple stitch.

Keep doing this until your work is the size you'd like. Once you've complete your last triple stitch for your project, make a slip stitch and close it off.


The double triple is basically the same but there is one extra yarn over loop you'll have to deal with.

Start with a chain stitch, loop over three times and insert your hook into the 6th chain stitch from your hook. Yarn over and pull through. You'll have five loops on your hook now. Yarn over and pull the yarn through the first two loops. Yarn over, pull through two, yarn over pull through two and yarn over again and pull through the last two loops.
