How to Crochet the Quadruple Treble Stitch Photo Tutorial

The Quadruple Treble Crochet Stitch (qtr) is one of the basic crochet stitches classified as one of the tall crochet stitches.

It is taller than the double treble crochet stitch (dtr) and triple treble crochet (trtr), and smaller than the quintuple treble crochet (quin tr).

The quadruple treble crochet stitch is one of the tall basic crochet stitches. Crocheters often come across this stitch a few times or not at all during their crochet life, because it’s less common than the shorter stitches. As a beginner crocheter you often learn the short stitches first.

The tall Quadruple Treble Crochet Stitch looks great in crochet lace stitch patterns and especially shawls.
