Yarn over and pull through the loop that is on the hook. Do this 12 times to create 12 chains. For the treble crochet, you will need to work into the 3rd chain from the hook to start. The loop on the hook doesn’t count, so count 3 of the chains. We will be working into the top loop of the chain. Wrap your yarn around the hook and place your finger on the yarn that is wrapped Insert your hook into the third chain and pull through, this will look like 3 loops on the hook 3 Loops on your Hook Put the yarn over your hook once again and pull through the first two loops on your hook, you will be left with two loops on your hook 2 Loops on your Hook Yarn over again and pull through the remaining two loops on your hook You’ve now done your first treble crochet!

Your last stitch will go into the turning chain from the previous row. You may have to pull it out slightly in order to get the hook in. Last stitch in the row Yarn over and go into the chain, yarn over and pull through, leaving you with 3 loops on your hook. Yarn over and pull through two loops and then finally, yarn over and pull through the remaining two loops on your hook. It’s really important you count how many treble crochets you have done in each row, remembering not to count the chain two as a stitch. This will stop your work getting bigger and fanning out or getting smaller and becoming misshapen. A full row of UK Treble Crochet Repeat the row two instructions for your next row and continue your treble crochets. Fastening off your yarn Yarn over, pull through and then pull up a loop Pulling up a loop Take your scissors and then leaving good amount of yarn, snip the yarn Snip the yarn leaving a good amount to sew in Pull out your hook and this will create a knot at the end of your work To sew in the loose end, thread up the yarn into a darning needle Weave in and out the fibres of your yarn. Sewing in the ends If you pull your yarn too tight, just pull the other end to pull the yarn back out a little and make sure your work is sitting properly. Pull the work so it doesn’t become misshapen Go back the opposite way going into different fibres. Work into different fibres the opposite way Thirdly, go down or in the other direction, going through more fibres and hiding the yarn tail within the work. Sew down your work into different fibres Take your scissors and snip off your yarn and then do exactly the same with the opposite yarn tail.
