hi this is Lisa with crochet more calm today I'm going to teach you how to do a linked treble crochet stitch I'm going to begin with 15 chains I'm going to insert my hook into the second chain from the hook yarn over and pull up a loop insert my hook into the next chain yarn over and pull up a loop skip the next chain insert into the next chain yarn over and pull up a loop he four loops on your hook you finish your treble crochet by yarn over pull through two yarn over through two yarn over through - and that's your beginning linked treble crochet stitch to make the next link to treble crochet you're going to insert your hook into the top horizontal loop you can see there's a top and a bottom so will you go into the top yarn over and pull up a loop into the bottom horizontal loop yarn over pull up a loop go into the next foundation chain yarn over and pull up a loop with the four loops on your hook yarn over through two yarn over through two yarn over through two again insert into the top horizontal loop yarn over and pull up a loop into the bottom horizontal loop yarn over pull up a loop insert into the next foundation chain and yarn over and pull up a loop with the four loops on your hook complete your triple yarn over through two three times again through the top bar let the loop the bottom bar pull up a loop the next chain and pull up a loop and complete your triple I'll go ahead and finish this row so you can just watch for each additional row of linked treble crochet stitches you're going to make four chains one two three four you're going to insert your hook in the second chain from the hook yarn over and pull up a loop insert into the next chain yarn over and pull up a loop you want to skip that last chain you insert your hook into the next stitch and again to keep the fabric closed without any holes I like to go into the stitch you normally don't if you're working normal treble crochet stitches but it seems to work out better for me so insert it into the stitch then you're going to yarn over through two yarn over through two yarn over through two and you're going to work every length treble crochet stitch after that the same way you have been insert under the top horizontal bar and then pull up a loop into the lower bar pull up a loop into your next stitch pull up a loop and complete your treble again through the top bar the lower bar the next stitch and complete your treble then you can see you can get a large crocheted fabric that's pretty solid in no time using unlinked treble crochet
