Crocheting is a fun activity where you create beautiful things with yarn and a hook. One of the patterns you can make is called the "Trinity Stitch." It's special because it looks lovely and is pretty easy to do. This creates a texture that's both pretty and cozy. It's perfect for making warm scarves or soft blankets. You can add a wonderful appearance to your crochet projects by learning this stitch, and surely, it will be a decent addition to your crocheting skill set!
How To Crochet Trinity Stitch
Materials Needed
- Bernat Super Value Worsted Weight Yarn
- 6.5 mm Clover Amour Crochet Hook
- Note: You can use any yarn and hook combination, but since the stitch is dense, a bigger hook size than suggested by your yarn can make the project more flowy.
Pattern Overview
This stitch creates a dense fabric with minimal holes, ideal for projects like dishcloths, baby blankets, cozy blankets, and hats.
Base Chain
Create a slip knot and chain any multiple of
For a sample, chain 16.
Row 1: Establishing the Trinity Stitch
Single crochet in the second chain from your hook to start.
Begin the first single crochet 3-together (SC3tog) or single crochet cluster in the same stitch as your first single crochet.
Insert your hook, pull up a loop, then insert into the next chain and pull up another loop. Repeat for the next chain. You should have four loops on your hook.
Yarn over and pull through all four loops.
Chain one to compensate for the decrease. This chain should be slightly loose since you'll work into it in the next row.
For the next cluster, start in the same stitch you ended the previous cluster on and repeat the process.
Continue SC3tog across the row, chain one loosely after each cluster.
When you reach the end of the row and have two chains left:
Perform one more SC3tog cluster starting in the same stitch as the last cluster.
Instead of chaining one, directly make a single crochet in the last chain.
Row 2: Continuing the Pattern
Chain one and turn your work. This chain does not count as a stitch.
Single crochet in the same stitch as the chain one to begin.
Repeat the SC3tog clusters across the row, working into the stitches (not the chains, as in Row 1).
Remember to chain one loosely after each cluster to compensate for the decrease.
Continue as in Row 1 until you have two stitches left.
Finish with an SC3tog cluster, then a single crochet in the last stitch without making a chain one.
Repeating the Pattern
To extend your project, simply repeat Row 2 for each subsequent row.
Ensure your chain ones between clusters are loose to facilitate easier stitching into them in the next rows.
Tips
This dense stitch pattern is great for projects that require a tight fabric without much gap between stitches.
Adjusting hook size or yarn weight can affect the flowiness and texture of the final project.
Closing
Continue repeating Row 2 until your project reaches the desired size.
