- Begin with a foundation to add your stitches into.We made a slip knot and chains here, but you can also create a magic circle.
- Hold the working yarn in your non-dominant hand and use your finger and thumb to hold the chains close to the hook.Wrap the working yarn around your hook, going counter-clockwise around the hook. This is called a "yarn over".Repeat, making a second yarn over.
- Insert your hook into the chain or stitch you'd like the treble crochet stitch to be in.(Generally with a treble crochet you'll insert your stitch into the 5th chain from the hook to keep your rows straight.)You can also work a treble crochet into a magic circle or a stitch from the previous row.
- Yarn over. (Wrap the working yarn around your hook in a clockwise direction.)
- Guide the top part of your hook back through the same chain, pulling the working yarn through.
