How to Triple Crochet

Crocheting is an art that involves using a small hook to make a series of knots of various kinds. The process can feel very awkward at first, but if you practice, it will eventually come quite naturally. A triple crochet stitch is a long stitch and will leave a lot of open area in the project you are making.

Things You'll Need

• Yarn
• Crochet hook

Instructions

1. Yarn over the hook two times and then insert the hook into the next stitch. ("Yarn over," or "YO," is a crochet instruction that means to put the yarn over the hook. It is a common term in crochet patterns and instructions.)

2. Yarn once over the hook and pull yarn through the stitch. (You should now have four loops on the crochet hook.)

3. Yarn over the hook again and pull it through two of the loops. (You should have three loops left on the hook.)

4. Again, yarn over the hook and pull through two loops.

5. Loop yarn over the hook and pull through the last two loops on the hook. (You should only have one loop left on the hook.) The triple stitch is now done.
