A treble stitch is created by wrapping the yarn around the hook once before inserting it into the work, drawing through a new loop and then pulling more loops of yarn through pairs of loops on the hook to complete the stitch. Taller treble-like stitches can be created by wrapping the yarn around the hook more times before it is inserted into the work.

º Taller treble-like stitches can be made in exactly the same way as double and triple trebles—check the pattern abbreviations to find out how many times the yarn should be wrapped around the hook for the type of stitch being worked.

º Leave quite a long end before the initial slip knot and when fastening off so that this length of yarn can be used to sew up the seams, avoiding the need to join in more lengths of yarn.

º If you are unsure as to what size to make, measure a similar garment from your wardrobe and make the size garment that has this “actual size” stated.

º When working into a chain stitch, it is easier and neater to insert the hook between the 2 strands making up the “V” of the chain—but remember to also pick up the strand lying underneath these 2 strands, so that 2 of the 3 strands that form the chain are enclosed in the new stitch.

Double treble: Wrap the yarn around the hook twice before inserting it into the work. Wrap the yarn round the hook and draw the new loop through the work, leaving 4 loops on the yarn. Wrap the yarn around the hook again and pull this loop through 2 of the 4 loops on the hook—3 loops now on the hook. Continue wrapping the yarn around the hook and bringing this new loop through pairs of loops already on the hook until there is just one loop left on the hook. For a double treble, this will be done a total of 3 times.

Triple treble: Wrap the yarn around the hook 3 times before inserting it and repeat the (yarn around hook and draw new loop through 2 existing loops) process a total of 4 times.

Quadruple treble: Wrap the yarn around the hook 4 times before it is inserted into the work and repeat the (yarn around hook and draw new loop through 2 existing loops) process a total of 5 times.
