Todays lesson in our Learn to crochet series is How to crochet the Treble Crochet (Tr) and Foundation Treble Crochet (Ftr)
If you haven’t yet learned the basics on how to hold the yarn and chaining watch Lesson #1
Lesson #1 will teach the ultimate basic step, HOW TO HOLD THE YARN AND CHAIN
Watch this video until you’ve mastered this step. It is essential to build on everything else. This is the hardest part of the learning process. It takes practise so keep trying until you’re comfortable with your grip and yarn hold.
For my learn to crochet series I will be using Super Bulky weight #6 yarn and a 9mm crochet hook. You can use any hook and yarn weight but I feel learning with a larger hook and weight yarn is easier. Today’s Lesson uses the colour Yukon Gold!
