Treble Stitches
Treble stitches are used
when a long stitch is desired.
An example of the double treble stitch used in combination with other
stitches is found in my
Southwestern Duo Potholder design.
In the potholder pattern, it is a double treble post stitch worked
around the post of a stitch of the rows below, making necessary a
long stitch.
Treble
Yarn over hook twice, then insert hook into next stitch.
 Yarn over hook and draw yarn through stitch - four loops on the hook. Loop yarn over hook and draw through two loops, (there are now three loops remaining on the hook), yarn over hook and draw through two loops, Again, loop yarn over hook and draw through the last two loops on the hook. (There is now one loop remaining.) This completes one treble crochet. At the end of a row of treble crochet, you would chain 4 to turn.
Yarn over hook three times, then insert hook into next stitch.
 Yarn over hook and draw yarn through stitch - five loops on the hook. Loop yarn over hook and draw through two loops, (there are now four loops remaining on the hook), *yarn over hook and draw through two loops**, repeat * to ** twice more. This completes one double treble crochet.
