For this tutorial you will need your selected yarn I'm using Paintbox simply
Aran and I'm going to use a 5 millimeter crochet hook but you can use whichever
hook it recommends for your selected yarn you will also need a pair of
scissors and a darning needle to sew in your ends I will leave everything in the
description box below so go ahead look under the video and click show more and
you'll find all of the details in there don't forget if you like my tutorials to

of when all my new videos go live so you want to begin by creating your slipknot
and you can do this in whichever method you prefer go ahead and insert your
crochet hook and we're going to do our foundation chain this foundation chain
needs to be in multiples of 2 so keep chaining until you get to your desired
length and then we're going to add two on the end so it's multiples of two plus
two so that would be yarn over pull through yarn over pull through that's
two three four five six and so on so go ahead pause the video work your chain
until you get to your desired length of chain so if you're making a blanket for
example you would chain this until you get to the width of the size of the
blanket that you would want or whichever project you are doing so go ahead pause
the video and meet me back in just a moment so I've just chained my length of
20 and I'm going to go ahead and chain an extra two for my plus two and what
we're going to do here is work our cross treble crochet which is a UK term in the
US this would be known as cross double crochet they are the same stitch but
just different terms so for row one what we want to do is skip three chains so
we don't count the one that's on the hook one two three and then the crossed
stitch starts now so even though we've just chained three for a crossed
treble what you want to do is skip the next chain and we're going to work
into the chain after that so essentially you're skipping five stitches you're
then going to do a treble crochet which is a double crochet in the US yarn over
insert your hook into that fifth chain from the hook yarn over pull through
you'll have three loops on the hook yarn over pull through two loops you'll have
two loops on the hook and yarn over pull through two loops so this chain three
that you did or that you skipped is classing as a treble we have our treble
here now what we want to do is do a treble into the skipped chain so that is
this one just here so what you're going to do is a treble as normal but you're
going to work your way backwards so yarn over back into that skipped chain insert
your hook into there and then yarn over and pull through and you're working
around that treble that you've just done yarn over pull through two and yarn
over and pull through two and there you have your crossed treble crochet now
what we're going to do is we're going to do that again so we're going to skip the
next stitch this one that you can see here is actually the first stitch that
we worked into so we ignore that we skip the next stitch and then work into the
stitch after that with a treble so yarn over insert yarn over pull through yarn
over pull through two and yarn over pull through two and then we work back into
the skipped treble so yarn over backwards insert into that skipped treble
yarn over pull through yarn over pull through two and yarn over pull through
two we're going to skip the next stitch and work into the stitch after that yarn
over insert yarn over pull through yarn over pull through two and yarn over pull
through two and then work a treble into the skipped
stitch so the previous one yarn over insert yarn over pull through yarn over
pull through two and yarn over pull through two so you're simply going to
work that all the way down until you get to the end of your chain you should find
that you are one chain remaining so go ahead pause the video rewind if needed
but work those stitches all the way along until you get to the
second to last chain so I've just worked my way all the way along and now I'm
going to do a treble into the last remaining chain from the foundation
chain and that completes my row one so now what we want to do is chain one
and turn and we're going to work into the tops of each of the stitches from
the previous row so we do this chain one we don't go into the base of the chain
one we go into the top of the treble from the previous row so we're going to do a
double crochet which is a single crochet in the US insert your hook straight into
the stitch yarn over pull through and then yarn over pull through so that's
one and we're going to work our way across each one of the trebles from the previous
row so just working a double crochet into each of the trebles
from the previous row all the way along go ahead pause the video work your way
till you get to the last treble I'll show you how to finish off this row and move
on to row three so I've just come to the end of row two I've just done a double
crochet in the last treble now what we want to do is do a double crochet into
the chain three so the turning chain from the previous row so go ahead and
insert your hook into the top of that chain three and do your double crochet
and now we're on to row three so you want to chain three one
two three turn the work we're not going to do any stitches into the base of this
chain because that classes as a treble crochet and then we're going to start
the crossed treble crochet so we skip this first stitch and then move over
onto the next stitch doing a treble into that one and then we go back to the skipped
stitch and do a treble in there we skip a stitch and do a treble into the next
one and then go back into the skip stitch with a treble skip a stitch
remember this one is the treble that we've just worked into so to skip a
stitch and work into the treble so skip a stitch and work into the next one with
a treble and then a treble into the skipped stitch which we've just moved over so
it's literally as simple as that we're going to skip a stitch and treble
and work back into the skipped stitch so go ahead pause the video do that all the
way along until you get to your last stitch and meet me back in just a moment
so I've just worked my row three I've done all of my stitches all the way
along I've just done my last crossed treble stitch and what I need to do now
is actually do a treble into the turning chain from the previous row so this time
it's going into one of the double crochets so I'll just do a treble
crochet in there don't forget to do that stitch because it helps with the edges
and then we're going to do a repeat of row two and from now on it's going to
put a repeat of row two and row three so you would chain one and then you would
do a double crochet into that first treble from the last row and into every
treble all the way across so feel free to rewind the video if you need to in
order to remind yourself of row 2 and row 3 you would keep building those rows
until you get to your desired height I'm going to go ahead and work a few more
rows so keep on watching so you can see what it builds like okay so I've just
built a few more rows now so you can see what it looks like and it is really
really effective this is the right side and then this is the wrong side so
obviously there's a bit more stitch definition on the right side I would
also recommend that you finish with a row two just so the top and the bottom
are fairly even then all you have to do is snip off your yarn so you can chain
one and grab your scissors snip off the yarn and then all you have left to do is
sew in your ends so I really hope that you have enjoyed this tutorial if you did
