This crochet stitch tutorial will show you how complete the Double Treble Crochet (DTr) stitch, with detailed step by step instructions and a video to follow along with too.
The double treble crochet is a tall stitch which creates an open and loose style of crochet fabric. The fabric it creates works up quickly due to the tall height of the stitch - a great time saver when looking for a quick crochet stitch.
Much like the UK Treble crochet, the double crochet requires that you wrap the yarn around the hook before inserting the hook. For a Double Treble, you will wrap the yarn around the hook twice from front to back.
If you wanted to make an even taller stitch, you would simply increase the number of times that you wrap the yarn around the hook before inserting the hook into the stitch .

For this tutorial I used the following materials:
You can use any yarn with the hook size as recommended on the yarn band.
UK Term: Double Treble Crochet
UK Abbreviation: DTr
US Term: Treble Crochet
US Abbreviation: Tr
Work a chain in multiples of 1 plus 4
For this tutorial (UK Terms):
Row 1:
Ch12, in 5th chain from hook. DTr in each remaining ch. Turn. (8)
Row 2: Ch4 (counts as DTr). DTr in each stitch across. Turn. (8)
To achieve a straight edge, you would skip the first stitch at the base of the chain and crochet into the next stitch, then continue to work into each stitch across the row.
In the last stitch, work one double treble into the 4th chain to finish the row.
You can repeat row 2 as many times as you like to keep practicing the Double Treble crochet stitch (US treble crochet).
If you're looking for another stitch to try, the Spike Stitch is another of my favourites and is a variation on the double crochet (single crochet) - Click here to try the stitch out or click the button below to see my other stitch tutorials.
