Linked Treble Crochet Stitch Photo Tutorial

Linked stitches are a great way to quickly produce non-holey crocheted fabric.

By literally linking the current stitch to the one before it, we are creating a sturdy fabric that has virtually no holes.

Learn how to crochet the Linked Treble Crochet Stitch with this photo tutorial.

Materials

• worsted weight yarn
• crochet hook

Instructions

To make the Linked Treble Crochet you can start with ANY number of chains. For this tutorial I am starting with 13 chains.

Pull up a loop in the 2nd chain from the hook, the 3rd chain from the hook, and the 4th chain from the hook. (4 loops on hook)

Yarn over pull through two loops, yarn over pull through two loops, yarn over pull through two loops, yarn over pull through two loops.

To make each of the remaining Linked Treble Crochets in the row, you will…

Pull up a loop in the top horizontal bar of the previous stitch. (2 loops on hook)

Pull up a loop in the bottom horizontal bar of the previous stitch. (3 loops on hook)

Pull up a loop in the next chain stitch. (4 loops on hook)

Now that you’ve got your four loops on your hook…

Yarn over pull through two loops, yarn over pull through two loops, yarn over pull through two loops.

Continue adding stitches to the end of the row.

To start a new row… Chain three.

Pull up a loop in the 2nd chain from the hook and in the 3rd chain from the hook.

Now turn and pull up a loop in the first stitch of the row. (4 loops on hook). (Note that I find it helpful to pull up those first two loops before turning, but it doesn’t really matter)

Yarn over pull through two loops, yarn over pull through two loops, yarn over pull through two loops.

Continue across the row.

Continue adding rows until the piece is as tall as needed. This stitch is pretty, flat, and functional if you need a fabric without holes! This can be worked flat in rows or in a spiral in the round.
