The treble crochet (abbreviated as tr or tc) creates long, elegant stitches with more height than a double crochet. It’s a favorite among crocheters who want to create openwork designs, lightweight garments, or projects with beautiful flow. Because of its tall structure, the treble crochet works up quickly and adds texture and style to any piece.
