Today marks the fourth and final extended stitch in our collection: the Extended Treble Stitch Crochet Pattern.
As I have mentioned in previous posts, extended stitches are a great way to add just a little bit of height to a crochet stitch. The extended stitches also tend to have a little more drape to them and more movement which makes them a great choice for garments.
Some other places you might see the extended stitches is when working cables, or simply around posts and into stitches worked in multiple rows below.
So far we have explore the extended single crochet stitch, the extended half double crochet stitch and, last week, the extended double crochet stitch. This week it is the extended treble crochet stitch.
One thing I did find when working this stitch is that it does not provide much stability to a fabric especially when you are working row over row of extended trebles. If you want the fabric to have a more defined shape to it, I recommend adding a row or two of single crochet in between the rows of extended trebles.
The Materials:
For this tutorial today, I will be using a small amount of Heatherly by KnitPicks and WeCrochet in a single colour. You are also able to work this stitch in a single colour or more. The Heatherly yarn is a medium/worsted weight yarn that is a wool blend. Along with my worsted weight yarn, I will also be working with a 5 mm (H/8) crochet hook.

Pattern Notes:
This stitch is worked in rows in this tutorial and it may be worked in one colour or many. I will be working this pattern in a single colour.
This pattern is written in American crochet terms.
The turning ch does not count as a stitch (so you will always work into the 1st st at the base of the turning ch).
To begin, make a slip knot and make a foundation chain. For this stitch pattern, you may use any number of stitches for your foundation chain and then add 3 for your turning chain.
For example, ch 33.
Row One:
ExTc (See “Stitches and Abbreviations” above) in the 4th ch from your hook, ExTr in each st across. Ch 4 (does not count as a st), turn.
Row Two:
ExTr in the 1st st, st and in each st across. Ch 4, turn.
And that’s it!
For the rest of the pattern, simply repeat row two. Fasten off, weave in your ends.
