Triple Crochet

The triple crochet stitch is quite a bit taller than the single crochet stitch and it creates a vertical pattern, like tall windows.

For future reference, it is abbreviated "tr," and requires a turning chain of 4 stitches.

Watch the video below to learn the process, then work a row or two of triple crochet across your swatch. Don't forget the turning chains!
