The Triple / Treble Stitch
Overview
The Treble, or Triple Crochet Stitch is, as you’d probably guess is essentially the Double Crochet with one more step. It’s abbreviated as “tr” and is slightly larger than the double crochet. I don’t use them often if ever, but they can be a good way to add more design to a beanie and they’re used often in “shells” or groups of stitches.
