In this free step-by-step crochet stitch tutorial I show how to make the linked treble crochet stitch. This stitch is a solid crochet stitch and it has a nice texture. It is also a reversible crochet stitch that looks the same on both sides. It creates dense, durable fabric and works great for potholders, washcloths, decorative pillow covers, laptop sleeves, bags, blankets and other projects that need warmth, structure, and durability.
This crochet stitch tutorial includes photo instructions and a video tutorial (see below). The linked treble crochet stitch is a repeat of one row.
Materials and tools
Yarn: For this tutorial I use Soft FRAYA Cotton 8/4 100% Organic cotton 50g – 180 m yarn, color: blue. However, you can use your favorite yarn depending on the crochet project.
Hook: I use a 2.0 mm hook. If you are using a different yarn, choose the hook size that is recommended on your yarn label.
