14 Crochet Stitches Visual Encyclopedia
You can link any stitch above a double crochet in height. You
will use as many middle bars as there are yarn overs needed
to complete the stitch. For example, a linked double crochet
goes into one middle bar before completing the stitch. Also,
to get continuous “railroad tracks” across the front of your
fabric, you need to complete the first row as above. On the
second row, single crochet in the front loop across. On the
next row, crochet the linked stitches in the back loop across.
Alternate between the single crochet through the front loop
and linked treble crochet through the back loop to your
desired length. The right side of your fabric will have these
great horizontal lines running continuously up your project.Linked Treble Crochet
