How to Crochet a Quadruple Crochet

Use leftover yarn from other projects to practice quadruple stitches.

Basic crochet stitches consist of chain stitches and single, double and treble or triple crochet stitches, which build on each other and grow taller. However, these stitches have many variations, including the quadruple crochet stitch, also known as the quadruple treble stitch. The larger the number, the taller the stitch is and the quicker your crochet work grows. You can use quadruple stitches to make quick projects including scarves and blankets.

Things You'll Need

• Yarn
• Crochet hook

Instructions

1. Make a loop with the tail of your yarn and pull a second loop through this loop and slip it onto your crochet hook. This is a slip stitch and starts your crochet work.

2. Work a row of chains into which to crochet your foundation row of quadruple stitches.

3. Wrap the yarn around the hook four times from back to front of the hook.

4. Insert the hook into a chain or the stitch below.

5. Wrap the yarn over the hook and pull it back through the chain so that you now have six loops on your hook.

6. Wrap the yarn from the back to the front of the hook again and draw through the first two loops on the hook. Repeat three times to complete your quadruple stitch.
