MORE STITCHES

T

he following rows of triple treble are

worked in the same way as the

foundation row, except you won’t

now be working each stitch into each chain

• instead, you’ll be working each stitch into
  the top of the stitch on the previous row (see
  below for more).
  This is just as easy as working stitches

into chains – the only extra technique you’ll

need to know is turning chains (see below

right for more).

In triple treble rows, you need to count

the turning chain (t-ch) as a stitch at the

start of the row, then at the end of the row

work a triple treble stitch into the top of the

turning chain of the previous row. Have a

practice and you’ll soon get the hang of it.

The more rows you work, the larger your

piece of triple treble fabric. At the end of

each row, count your stitches (this is the

‘stitch count’) to check you haven’t made

too many or missed any. It won’t take you

long and could save you having to undo your

work later!

TRIPLE TREBLE

ROWS

RIGHT-HAND

3

To finish the row of triple treble stitches,

work the final ttr stitch into the top chain of

the turning chain on the previous row.

4

Your second row of triple trebles will be

finished. Repeat Steps 1-3 until you have the

number of rows you need.

1

Work five chains for the t-ch (see below

right), which counts as the first stitch of the

new row. Work yrh three times and insert hook

under the v-shaped top of the second stitch

from the previous row.

2

Finish the triple treble stitch as before: yrh,

pull yarn through, (yrh, pull yarn through 2

loops) 4 times. Work a ttr into the top of each

stitch of the previous row.

If you’re right-handed, follow these steps for perfect rows of triple treble...
