ROWS OF TRIPLE TREBLE CROCHET

 

Abbreviation — tr tr

Make a chain of 20 stitches.

 

1.  Thread over hook 4 times, insert hook in

7th ch from hook and draw a loop through (6 loops on hook); thread over (Fig. 58) and

 draw through 2 loops at a time 5 times—this completes a triple treble (tr tr). Make a tr tr in

 each ch across. Ch 6 to turn. The turning ch-6 counts as the first tr tr on next row,

there­fore the first tr tr of each row is always skipped.

 

2.  Continue as for other practice pieces.
