1 Make a foundation chain of the desired length- about 20 chains is sufficient
You will be working the first stitch into the SECOND chain from the hook as
you did for making a slip stitch
2 Holding the foundation chain as shown insert the hook onto the second
chain from hook
3 Catch the yarn with the hook and wrap it around the hook (yrh) in the
usual way
4 Dr aw the yarn through the chain so that there are now two loops on the

HOW TO
Crochet the basicsPhotography by John Heseltine
Instructions by Emma Seddon
The next few pages show the simple instructions on how to complete the basic crochet stitches and garment shaping to help you to complete the designsfeatured in this brochure We hope that if you have not attempted crochet before these simple instructions will encourage you to pick up a crochet hook
Once mastered you will discover that crochet is one of the more enjoyable crafts and the possibilities of creating beautiful patterns are endless
A crochet slip stitch is the shortest of the basic crochet stitches As slip stitch is
rarely used on its own to make a fabric it is only necessary to learn how to
work it along a foundation chain for the time being Learning it is good practise
for working into the foundation chain
1 Make a foundation chain of the desired length You will be working the first
stitch into the SECOND chain from the hook (see arrow)
2 Holding the foundation chain between the thumb and forefinger of the yarn
hand insert the hook through the chain under one top loop of the second
chain from the hook Catch the ball end of the yarn with the hook so that it
wraps the yarn anticlockwise around it
3 Draw the yarn around the hook through the chain and then through the
loop on the hook You have just made your first slip stitch Work one slip stitchinto each remaining chain of the foundation chain in the same way

DOUBLE TREBLE CROCHET (dtr) (tr - US)
7212019 Summer Crochet
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullsummer-crochet 2132
Garment decreases can be worked at the beginning
andor end of a row a stitch or two in from each
edge or in the middle of a row The most
commonly used method for decreasing one or two
stitches in a row is working two or three stitches
together as one stitch
Try out these decreases in double half treble and
treble crochet so you will be familiar with them
when you first come across them in your crochet
pattern Similar decreases can be worked for most
simple stitch patterns and your instructions will
guide you through these when they are needed
Single dc decrease (dc2tog)
Working two double crochet stitches together is a
neater way to decrease one stitch than simply
missing a stitch
To work dc2tog insert the hook in the next stitch
yrh and draw a loop through then draw a loop
through the next stitch in the same way There are
now 3 loops on the hook Yrh and draw through all
3 loops on the hook to complete the single
decrease
Double dc decrease (dc3tog)
To decrease two stitches at once in a double crochet
insert hook in the next stitch yrh and draw a loop
through then draw a loop through each of the next
2 sti tches in the same way You now have 4 loops on
the hook Yrh and draw through all 4 loops on thehook to complete the double decrease
Single htr decrease (htr2tog)
The principal for working htr2tog is the same as for
dc2tog
To work htr2tog yrh and insert the hook in the
next stitch yrh and draw a loop through then do
the same in the next stitch You now have 5 loops
on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through all 5
loops on the hook to complete the single decrease
Double htr decrease (htr3tog)
To decrease two stitches at once in half treble
crochet yrh and insert the hook in the next stitch
yrh and draw a loop through then do the same in
each of the next 2 stitches You now have 7 loops
on the hook Yrh and draw through all 7 loops on
the hook to complete the double decrease
37
Decreasing one stitch in half trebles (htr2tog)
Decreasing one stitch in double crochet (dc2tog)
1 Make a fiundation chain of the required length You will be working the first
stitch into the fifth chain from the hook (see arrow)
2 Wrap the yarn twice around the hook then insert the hook into the fifth
chain from the hook and wrap the yarn around the hook again
3 Draw a loop through the chain There are four loops on the hook Wrapthe yarn around the hookhellip
4 hellipand draw a loop through the first two loops on the hook Repeat from
to until there is only one loop on left on the hook This completes the first
stitch Work one stitch into each remaining chain in the same way

The principal for working two stitches together in
treble crochet is the same as for double crochet and
half treble crochet-the next two stitches are worked
up to the last yrh and then drawn together with one
final yrh To work tr2tog yrh and insert the hook
in the next stitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh
and draw through the first 2 loops on the hook
then do the same in the next stitch You now have
3 loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through
all 3 loops on the hook to complete the single
decrease
Double tr decrease (tr2tog)
To decrease two stitches at once in treble crochet
you work three stitches together just as for double
crochet and half treble crochet
To work tr3togyrh and insert the hook in the nextstitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh and draw
through the first 2 loops on the hook then do the
same in each of the next 2 stitches You now have 4
loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through all
4 loops on the hook to complete the double
decrease
of a row
When working decreases in treble crochet at the
beginning of a row remember that the three turning
chains at the beginning of the row will count as
your first treble crochet stitch Miss the stitch at the
base of your turning chain then work the decrease
over the next two or three stitches as normal
To decrease at the end of a row of treble crochet
you will need to work your decrease and then work
a treble crochet into the top of the turning chain
so you need to count backwards from the edge of
the fabric to work out where to start your decrease
stitch It is especially important to count the number
of stitches you have left after a treble crochet
decrease to make sure you decreased by correct
number of stitches
Remember that the basic rules of treble crochet
stitches (and taller stitches) will still apply even when
working decreases - always miss the first stitch at the
beginning of the row and always work the last stitch
into the top of the turning row If there is an
exception to this rule your pattern will spell it out
clearly
A multi-stitch decrease at the end of row
You may need to decrease several stitches at once when shaping a garment to
create a sharp decrease instead of a sloped or curved one This type of multi-
stitch decrease occurs for example at the beginning of armhole shaping and
sleeve head shaping
Although the technique is the same for all stitches on tall stitches it creates an
abrupt right angle while on shorter stitches such as double crochet and half
treble crochet it can be integrated into a gentle curve
1 To decrease several stitches at the end of a row simply work to the point at
which the required number of stitches to decrease are still left unworked on
the row as shown then turn the work
2 On the following row work the turning chain then complete the row in
the pattern stitch as normal

On some garments the multi-stitch decrease needs to be worked in the same
row on both side edges of the garment piece - to create symmetry If this is the
case you will need to know how to work a multi-stitch decrease at the
beginning of the row as well
Because a slip stitch is very short it is useful for moving the hook along the
row without adding any height This is exactly what you do to decrease a large
number of stitches at the beginning of a row Work one turning chain then for
a right-angled decrease work in slip stitch over the number of stitches you want
to decrease and into the position for the first stitch of the row then work the
rest of the row in the usual pattern sti tch For a gentler curved decrease on half
treble crochet you can work a double crochet in the st itch before the first half
treble of the new row
It may be necessary to increase many stitches at the edge of a piece for exampleto start sleeves that are worked as one piece with the body of the garment
which are called lsquointegral sleeversquo
To create this right-angled increase you work extra chains - one for each stitch
required For symmetry the chains needed for each sleeve on the back of the
garment (or on the front of a pullover) need to be made on the same row as
explained here
A multi stitch increase at each end of a row
1 So that the multi-increases can be worked at both ends of the same rowprepare the chains for the increase at the end of the row on the row before the
increase row Begin this row (which will be the end of the increase row) by
working the same number of chains as needed for the number of stitches to be
increased plus an extra chain for the turning chain
Work one slip stitch into the second chain for the hook then one slip stitch
into each of the remaining chains and continue across the row as usual as shown
Because the slip stitches are very short they provide the perfect neutral base for
the increased stitches on the next row
2 At the beginning of the increase row again work the same number of chainsas the number of new stitches you need For the turning chain work the
number of chains required for the particular stitch you are using for the
garment-one chain for the double crochet being worked here Work across the
added chains then across the row to the slip stitches at the end For the extra
stitches needed at the end of the row work in the pattern stitch across the slip
stitches prepared at the beginning of the last row

1 Make a foundation chain of the desired length- about 20 chains is sufficient
You will be working the first stitch into the SECOND chain from the hook as
you did for making a slip stitch
2 Holding the foundation chain as shown insert the hook onto the second
chain from hook
3 Catch the yarn with the hook and wrap it around the hook (yrh) in the
usual way
4 Dr aw the yarn through the chain so that there are now two loops on the
hook

HOW TO
Crochet the basicsPhotography by John Heseltine
Instructions by Emma Seddon
The next few pages show the simple instructions on how to complete the basic crochet stitches and garment shaping to help you to complete the designsfeatured in this brochure We hope that if you have not attempted crochet before these simple instructions will encourage you to pick up a crochet hook
Once mastered you will discover that crochet is one of the more enjoyable crafts and the possibilities of creating beautiful patterns are endless
A crochet slip stitch is the shortest of the basic crochet stitches As slip stitch is
rarely used on its own to make a fabric it is only necessary to learn how to
work it along a foundation chain for the time being Learning it is good practise
for working into the foundation chain
1 Make a foundation chain of the desired length You will be working the first
stitch into the SECOND chain from the hook (see arrow)
2 Holding the foundation chain between the thumb and forefinger of the yarn
hand insert the hook through the chain under one top loop of the second
chain from the hook Catch the ball end of the yarn with the hook so that it
wraps the yarn anticlockwise around it
3 Draw the yarn around the hook through the chain and then through the
loop on the hook You have just made your first slip stitch Work one slip stitchinto each remaining chain of the foundation chain in the same way

DOUBLE TREBLE CROCHET (dtr) (tr - US)
7212019 Summer Crochet
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullsummer-crochet 2132
Garment decreases can be worked at the beginning
andor end of a row a stitch or two in from each
edge or in the middle of a row The most
commonly used method for decreasing one or two
stitches in a row is working two or three stitches
together as one stitch
Try out these decreases in double half treble and
treble crochet so you will be familiar with them
when you first come across them in your crochet
pattern Similar decreases can be worked for most
simple stitch patterns and your instructions will
guide you through these when they are needed
Single dc decrease (dc2tog)
Working two double crochet stitches together is a
neater way to decrease one stitch than simply
missing a stitch
To work dc2tog insert the hook in the next stitch
yrh and draw a loop through then draw a loop
through the next stitch in the same way There are
now 3 loops on the hook Yrh and draw through all
3 loops on the hook to complete the single
decrease
Double dc decrease (dc3tog)
To decrease two stitches at once in a double crochet
insert hook in the next stitch yrh and draw a loop
through then draw a loop through each of the next
2 sti tches in the same way You now have 4 loops on
the hook Yrh and draw through all 4 loops on thehook to complete the double decrease
Single htr decrease (htr2tog)
The principal for working htr2tog is the same as for
dc2tog
To work htr2tog yrh and insert the hook in the
next stitch yrh and draw a loop through then do
the same in the next stitch You now have 5 loops
on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through all 5
loops on the hook to complete the single decrease
Double htr decrease (htr3tog)
To decrease two stitches at once in half treble
crochet yrh and insert the hook in the next stitch
yrh and draw a loop through then do the same in
each of the next 2 stitches You now have 7 loops
on the hook Yrh and draw through all 7 loops on
the hook to complete the double decrease
37
Decreasing one stitch in half trebles (htr2tog)
Decreasing one stitch in double crochet (dc2tog)
1 Make a fiundation chain of the required length You will be working the first
stitch into the fifth chain from the hook (see arrow)
2 Wrap the yarn twice around the hook then insert the hook into the fifth
chain from the hook and wrap the yarn around the hook again
3 Draw a loop through the chain There are four loops on the hook Wrapthe yarn around the hookhellip
4 hellipand draw a loop through the first two loops on the hook Repeat from
to until there is only one loop on left on the hook This completes the first
stitch Work one stitch into each remaining chain in the same way

The principal for working two stitches together in
treble crochet is the same as for double crochet and
half treble crochet-the next two stitches are worked
up to the last yrh and then drawn together with one
final yrh To work tr2tog yrh and insert the hook
in the next stitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh
and draw through the first 2 loops on the hook
then do the same in the next stitch You now have
3 loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through
all 3 loops on the hook to complete the single
decrease
Double tr decrease (tr2tog)
To decrease two stitches at once in treble crochet
you work three stitches together just as for double
crochet and half treble crochet
To work tr3togyrh and insert the hook in the nextstitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh and draw
through the first 2 loops on the hook then do the
same in each of the next 2 stitches You now have 4
loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through all
4 loops on the hook to complete the double
decrease
of a row
When working decreases in treble crochet at the
beginning of a row remember that the three turning
chains at the beginning of the row will count as
your first treble crochet stitch Miss the stitch at the
base of your turning chain then work the decrease
over the next two or three stitches as normal
To decrease at the end of a row of treble crochet
you will need to work your decrease and then work
a treble crochet into the top of the turning chain
so you need to count backwards from the edge of
the fabric to work out where to start your decrease
stitch It is especially important to count the number
of stitches you have left after a treble crochet
decrease to make sure you decreased by correct
number of stitches
Remember that the basic rules of treble crochet
stitches (and taller stitches) will still apply even when
working decreases - always miss the first stitch at the
beginning of the row and always work the last stitch
into the top of the turning row If there is an
exception to this rule your pattern will spell it out
clearly
A multi-stitch decrease at the end of row
You may need to decrease several stitches at once when shaping a garment to
create a sharp decrease instead of a sloped or curved one This type of multi-
stitch decrease occurs for example at the beginning of armhole shaping and
sleeve head shaping
Although the technique is the same for all stitches on tall stitches it creates an
abrupt right angle while on shorter stitches such as double crochet and half
treble crochet it can be integrated into a gentle curve
1 To decrease several stitches at the end of a row simply work to the point at
which the required number of stitches to decrease are still left unworked on
the row as shown then turn the work
2 On the following row work the turning chain then complete the row in
the pattern stitch as normal

On some garments the multi-stitch decrease needs to be worked in the same
row on both side edges of the garment piece - to create symmetry If this is the
case you will need to know how to work a multi-stitch decrease at the
beginning of the row as well
Because a slip stitch is very short it is useful for moving the hook along the
row without adding any height This is exactly what you do to decrease a large
number of stitches at the beginning of a row Work one turning chain then for
a right-angled decrease work in slip stitch over the number of stitches you want
to decrease and into the position for the first stitch of the row then work the
rest of the row in the usual pattern sti tch For a gentler curved decrease on half
treble crochet you can work a double crochet in the st itch before the first half
treble of the new row
It may be necessary to increase many stitches at the edge of a piece for exampleto start sleeves that are worked as one piece with the body of the garment
which are called lsquointegral sleeversquo
To create this right-angled increase you work extra chains - one for each stitch
required For symmetry the chains needed for each sleeve on the back of the
garment (or on the front of a pullover) need to be made on the same row as
explained here
A multi stitch increase at each end of a row
1 So that the multi-increases can be worked at both ends of the same rowprepare the chains for the increase at the end of the row on the row before the
increase row Begin this row (which will be the end of the increase row) by
working the same number of chains as needed for the number of stitches to be
increased plus an extra chain for the turning chain
Work one slip stitch into the second chain for the hook then one slip stitch
into each of the remaining chains and continue across the row as usual as shown
Because the slip stitches are very short they provide the perfect neutral base for
the increased stitches on the next row
2 At the beginning of the increase row again work the same number of chainsas the number of new stitches you need For the turning chain work the
number of chains required for the particular stitch you are using for the
garment-one chain for the double crochet being worked here Work across the
added chains then across the row to the slip stitches at the end For the extra
stitches needed at the end of the row work in the pattern stitch across the slip
stitches prepared at the beginning of the last row

1 Make a foundation chain of the desired length- about 20 chains is sufficient
You will be working the first stitch into the SECOND chain from the hook as
you did for making a slip stitch
2 Holding the foundation chain as shown insert the hook onto the second
chain from hook
3 Catch the yarn with the hook and wrap it around the hook (yrh) in the
usual way
4 Dr aw the yarn through the chain so that there are now two loops on the
hook

HOW TO
Crochet the basicsPhotography by John Heseltine
Instructions by Emma Seddon
The next few pages show the simple instructions on how to complete the basic crochet stitches and garment shaping to help you to complete the designsfeatured in this brochure We hope that if you have not attempted crochet before these simple instructions will encourage you to pick up a crochet hook
Once mastered you will discover that crochet is one of the more enjoyable crafts and the possibilities of creating beautiful patterns are endless
A crochet slip stitch is the shortest of the basic crochet stitches As slip stitch is
rarely used on its own to make a fabric it is only necessary to learn how to
work it along a foundation chain for the time being Learning it is good practise
for working into the foundation chain
1 Make a foundation chain of the desired length You will be working the first
stitch into the SECOND chain from the hook (see arrow)
2 Holding the foundation chain between the thumb and forefinger of the yarn
hand insert the hook through the chain under one top loop of the second
chain from the hook Catch the ball end of the yarn with the hook so that it
wraps the yarn anticlockwise around it
3 Draw the yarn around the hook through the chain and then through the
loop on the hook You have just made your first slip stitch Work one slip stitchinto each remaining chain of the foundation chain in the same way

DOUBLE TREBLE CROCHET (dtr) (tr - US)
7212019 Summer Crochet
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullsummer-crochet 2132
Garment decreases can be worked at the beginning
andor end of a row a stitch or two in from each
edge or in the middle of a row The most
commonly used method for decreasing one or two
stitches in a row is working two or three stitches
together as one stitch
Try out these decreases in double half treble and
treble crochet so you will be familiar with them
when you first come across them in your crochet
pattern Similar decreases can be worked for most
simple stitch patterns and your instructions will
guide you through these when they are needed
Single dc decrease (dc2tog)
Working two double crochet stitches together is a
neater way to decrease one stitch than simply
missing a stitch
To work dc2tog insert the hook in the next stitch
yrh and draw a loop through then draw a loop
through the next stitch in the same way There are
now 3 loops on the hook Yrh and draw through all
3 loops on the hook to complete the single
decrease
Double dc decrease (dc3tog)
To decrease two stitches at once in a double crochet
insert hook in the next stitch yrh and draw a loop
through then draw a loop through each of the next
2 sti tches in the same way You now have 4 loops on
the hook Yrh and draw through all 4 loops on thehook to complete the double decrease
Single htr decrease (htr2tog)
The principal for working htr2tog is the same as for
dc2tog
To work htr2tog yrh and insert the hook in the
next stitch yrh and draw a loop through then do
the same in the next stitch You now have 5 loops
on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through all 5
loops on the hook to complete the single decrease
Double htr decrease (htr3tog)
To decrease two stitches at once in half treble
crochet yrh and insert the hook in the next stitch
yrh and draw a loop through then do the same in
each of the next 2 stitches You now have 7 loops
on the hook Yrh and draw through all 7 loops on
the hook to complete the double decrease

Decreasing one stitch in half trebles (htr2tog)
Decreasing one stitch in double crochet (dc2tog)
1 Make a fiundation chain of the required length You will be working the first
stitch into the fifth chain from the hook (see arrow)
2 Wrap the yarn twice around the hook then insert the hook into the fifth
chain from the hook and wrap the yarn around the hook again
3 Draw a loop through the chain There are four loops on the hook Wrapthe yarn around the hookhellip
4 hellipand draw a loop through the first two loops on the hook Repeat from
to until there is only one loop on left on the hook This completes the first
stitch Work one stitch into each remaining chain in the same way

The principal for working two stitches together in
treble crochet is the same as for double crochet and
half treble crochet-the next two stitches are worked
up to the last yrh and then drawn together with one
final yrh To work tr2tog yrh and insert the hook
in the next stitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh
and draw through the first 2 loops on the hook
then do the same in the next stitch You now have
3 loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through
all 3 loops on the hook to complete the single
decrease
Double tr decrease (tr2tog)
To decrease two stitches at once in treble crochet
you work three stitches together just as for double
crochet and half treble crochet
To work tr3togyrh and insert the hook in the nextstitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh and draw
through the first 2 loops on the hook then do the
same in each of the next 2 stitches You now have 4
loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through all
4 loops on the hook to complete the double
decrease
of a row
When working decreases in treble crochet at the
beginning of a row remember that the three turning
chains at the beginning of the row will count as
your first treble crochet stitch Miss the stitch at the
base of your turning chain then work the decrease
over the next two or three stitches as normal
To decrease at the end of a row of treble crochet
you will need to work your decrease and then work
a treble crochet into the top of the turning chain
so you need to count backwards from the edge of
the fabric to work out where to start your decrease
stitch It is especially important to count the number
of stitches you have left after a treble crochet
decrease to make sure you decreased by correct
number of stitches
Remember that the basic rules of treble crochet
stitches (and taller stitches) will still apply even when
working decreases - always miss the first stitch at the
beginning of the row and always work the last stitch
into the top of the turning row If there is an
exception to this rule your pattern will spell it out
clearly
A multi-stitch decrease at the end of row
You may need to decrease several stitches at once when shaping a garment to
create a sharp decrease instead of a sloped or curved one This type of multi-
stitch decrease occurs for example at the beginning of armhole shaping and
sleeve head shaping
Although the technique is the same for all stitches on tall stitches it creates an
abrupt right angle while on shorter stitches such as double crochet and half
treble crochet it can be integrated into a gentle curve
1 To decrease several stitches at the end of a row simply work to the point at
which the required number of stitches to decrease are still left unworked on
the row as shown then turn the work
2 On the following row work the turning chain then complete the row in
the pattern stitch as normal

On some garments the multi-stitch decrease needs to be worked in the same
row on both side edges of the garment piece - to create symmetry If this is the
case you will need to know how to work a multi-stitch decrease at the
beginning of the row as well
Because a slip stitch is very short it is useful for moving the hook along the
row without adding any height This is exactly what you do to decrease a large
number of stitches at the beginning of a row Work one turning chain then for
a right-angled decrease work in slip stitch over the number of stitches you want
to decrease and into the position for the first stitch of the row then work the
rest of the row in the usual pattern sti tch For a gentler curved decrease on half
treble crochet you can work a double crochet in the st itch before the first half
treble of the new row
It may be necessary to increase many stitches at the edge of a piece for exampleto start sleeves that are worked as one piece with the body of the garment
which are called lsquointegral sleeversquo
To create this right-angled increase you work extra chains - one for each stitch
required For symmetry the chains needed for each sleeve on the back of the
garment (or on the front of a pullover) need to be made on the same row as
explained here
A multi stitch increase at each end of a row
1 So that the multi-increases can be worked at both ends of the same rowprepare the chains for the increase at the end of the row on the row before the
increase row Begin this row (which will be the end of the increase row) by
working the same number of chains as needed for the number of stitches to be
increased plus an extra chain for the turning chain
Work one slip stitch into the second chain for the hook then one slip stitch
into each of the remaining chains and continue across the row as usual as shown
Because the slip stitches are very short they provide the perfect neutral base for
the increased stitches on the next row
2 At the beginning of the increase row again work the same number of chainsas the number of new stitches you need For the turning chain work the
number of chains required for the particular stitch you are using for the
garment-one chain for the double crochet being worked here Work across the
added chains then across the row to the slip stitches at the end For the extra
stitches needed at the end of the row work in the pattern stitch across the slip
stitches prepared at the beginning of the last row

1 Make a foundation chain of the desired length- about 20 chains is sufficient
You will be working the first stitch into the SECOND chain from the hook as
you did for making a slip stitch
2 Holding the foundation chain as shown insert the hook onto the second
chain from hook
3 Catch the yarn with the hook and wrap it around the hook (yrh) in the
usual way
4 Dr aw the yarn through the chain so that there are now two loops on the
hook
5Wrap the yarn around the hook again

HOW TO
Crochet the basicsPhotography by John Heseltine
Instructions by Emma Seddon
The next few pages show the simple instructions on how to complete the basic crochet stitches and garment shaping to help you to complete the designsfeatured in this brochure We hope that if you have not attempted crochet before these simple instructions will encourage you to pick up a crochet hook
Once mastered you will discover that crochet is one of the more enjoyable crafts and the possibilities of creating beautiful patterns are endless
A crochet slip stitch is the shortest of the basic crochet stitches As slip stitch is
rarely used on its own to make a fabric it is only necessary to learn how to
work it along a foundation chain for the time being Learning it is good practise
for working into the foundation chain
1 Make a foundation chain of the desired length You will be working the first
stitch into the SECOND chain from the hook (see arrow)
2 Holding the foundation chain between the thumb and forefinger of the yarn
hand insert the hook through the chain under one top loop of the second
chain from the hook Catch the ball end of the yarn with the hook so that it
wraps the yarn anticlockwise around it
3 Draw the yarn around the hook through the chain and then through the
loop on the hook You have just made your first slip stitch Work one slip stitchinto each remaining chain of the foundation chain in the same way

DOUBLE TREBLE CROCHET (dtr) (tr - US)
7212019 Summer Crochet
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullsummer-crochet 2132
Garment decreases can be worked at the beginning
andor end of a row a stitch or two in from each
edge or in the middle of a row The most
commonly used method for decreasing one or two
stitches in a row is working two or three stitches
together as one stitch
Try out these decreases in double half treble and
treble crochet so you will be familiar with them
when you first come across them in your crochet
pattern Similar decreases can be worked for most
simple stitch patterns and your instructions will
guide you through these when they are needed
Single dc decrease (dc2tog)
Working two double crochet stitches together is a
neater way to decrease one stitch than simply
missing a stitch
To work dc2tog insert the hook in the next stitch
yrh and draw a loop through then draw a loop
through the next stitch in the same way There are
now 3 loops on the hook Yrh and draw through all
3 loops on the hook to complete the single
decrease
Double dc decrease (dc3tog)
To decrease two stitches at once in a double crochet
insert hook in the next stitch yrh and draw a loop
through then draw a loop through each of the next
2 sti tches in the same way You now have 4 loops on
the hook Yrh and draw through all 4 loops on thehook to complete the double decrease
Single htr decrease (htr2tog)
The principal for working htr2tog is the same as for
dc2tog
To work htr2tog yrh and insert the hook in the
next stitch yrh and draw a loop through then do
the same in the next stitch You now have 5 loops
on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through all 5
loops on the hook to complete the single decrease
Double htr decrease (htr3tog)
To decrease two stitches at once in half treble
crochet yrh and insert the hook in the next stitch
yrh and draw a loop through then do the same in
each of the next 2 stitches You now have 7 loops
on the hook Yrh and draw through all 7 loops on
the hook to complete the double decrease
37
Decreasing one stitch in half trebles (htr2tog)
Decreasing one stitch in double crochet (dc2tog)
1 Make a fiundation chain of the required length You will be working the first
stitch into the fifth chain from the hook (see arrow)
2 Wrap the yarn twice around the hook then insert the hook into the fifth
chain from the hook and wrap the yarn around the hook again
3 Draw a loop through the chain There are four loops on the hook Wrapthe yarn around the hookhellip
4 hellipand draw a loop through the first two loops on the hook Repeat from
to until there is only one loop on left on the hook This completes the first
stitch Work one stitch into each remaining chain in the same way

treble crochet is the same as for double crochet and
half treble crochet-the next two stitches are worked
up to the last yrh and then drawn together with one
final yrh To work tr2tog yrh and insert the hook
in the next stitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh
and draw through the first 2 loops on the hook
then do the same in the next stitch You now have
3 loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through
all 3 loops on the hook to complete the single
decrease
Double tr decrease (tr2tog)
To decrease two stitches at once in treble crochet
you work three stitches together just as for double
crochet and half treble crochet
To work tr3togyrh and insert the hook in the nextstitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh and draw
through the first 2 loops on the hook then do the
same in each of the next 2 stitches You now have 4
loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through all
4 loops on the hook to complete the double
decrease
of a row
When working decreases in treble crochet at the
beginning of a row remember that the three turning
chains at the beginning of the row will count as
your first treble crochet stitch Miss the stitch at the
base of your turning chain then work the decrease
over the next two or three stitches as normal
To decrease at the end of a row of treble crochet
you will need to work your decrease and then work
a treble crochet into the top of the turning chain
so you need to count backwards from the edge of
the fabric to work out where to start your decrease
stitch It is especially important to count the number
of stitches you have left after a treble crochet
decrease to make sure you decreased by correct
number of stitches
Remember that the basic rules of treble crochet
stitches (and taller stitches) will still apply even when
working decreases - always miss the first stitch at the
beginning of the row and always work the last stitch
into the top of the turning row If there is an
exception to this rule your pattern will spell it out
clearly
A multi-stitch decrease at the end of row
You may need to decrease several stitches at once when shaping a garment to
create a sharp decrease instead of a sloped or curved one This type of multi-
stitch decrease occurs for example at the beginning of armhole shaping and
sleeve head shaping
Although the technique is the same for all stitches on tall stitches it creates an
abrupt right angle while on shorter stitches such as double crochet and half
treble crochet it can be integrated into a gentle curve
1 To decrease several stitches at the end of a row simply work to the point at
which the required number of stitches to decrease are still left unworked on
the row as shown then turn the work
2 On the following row work the turning chain then complete the row in
the pattern stitch as normal

On some garments the multi-stitch decrease needs to be worked in the same
row on both side edges of the garment piece - to create symmetry If this is the
case you will need to know how to work a multi-stitch decrease at the
beginning of the row as well
Because a slip stitch is very short it is useful for moving the hook along the
row without adding any height This is exactly what you do to decrease a large
number of stitches at the beginning of a row Work one turning chain then for
a right-angled decrease work in slip stitch over the number of stitches you want
to decrease and into the position for the first stitch of the row then work the
rest of the row in the usual pattern sti tch For a gentler curved decrease on half
treble crochet you can work a double crochet in the st itch before the first half
treble of the new row
It may be necessary to increase many stitches at the edge of a piece for exampleto start sleeves that are worked as one piece with the body of the garment
which are called lsquointegral sleeversquo
To create this right-angled increase you work extra chains - one for each stitch
required For symmetry the chains needed for each sleeve on the back of the
garment (or on the front of a pullover) need to be made on the same row as
explained here
A multi stitch increase at each end of a row
1 So that the multi-increases can be worked at both ends of the same rowprepare the chains for the increase at the end of the row on the row before the
increase row Begin this row (which will be the end of the increase row) by
working the same number of chains as needed for the number of stitches to be
increased plus an extra chain for the turning chain
Work one slip stitch into the second chain for the hook then one slip stitch
into each of the remaining chains and continue across the row as usual as shown
Because the slip stitches are very short they provide the perfect neutral base for
the increased stitches on the next row
2 At the beginning of the increase row again work the same number of chainsas the number of new stitches you need For the turning chain work the
number of chains required for the particular stitch you are using for the
garment-one chain for the double crochet being worked here Work across the
added chains then across the row to the slip stitches at the end For the extra
stitches needed at the end of the row work in the pattern stitch across the slip
stitches prepared at the beginning of the last row

HOW TO
Crochet the basicsPhotography by John Heseltine
Instructions by Emma Seddon
The next few pages show the simple instructions on how to complete the basic crochet stitches and garment shaping to help you to complete the designsfeatured in this brochure We hope that if you have not attempted crochet before these simple instructions will encourage you to pick up a crochet hook
Once mastered you will discover that crochet is one of the more enjoyable crafts and the possibilities of creating beautiful patterns are endless
A crochet slip stitch is the shortest of the basic crochet stitches As slip stitch is
rarely used on its own to make a fabric it is only necessary to learn how to
work it along a foundation chain for the time being Learning it is good practise
for working into the foundation chain
1 Make a foundation chain of the desired length You will be working the first
stitch into the SECOND chain from the hook (see arrow)
2 Holding the foundation chain between the thumb and forefinger of the yarn
hand insert the hook through the chain under one top loop of the second
chain from the hook Catch the ball end of the yarn with the hook so that it
wraps the yarn anticlockwise around it
3 Draw the yarn around the hook through the chain and then through the
loop on the hook You have just made your first slip stitch Work one slip stitchinto each remaining chain of the foundation chain in the same way

DOUBLE TREBLE CROCHET (dtr) (tr - US)
7212019 Summer Crochet
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullsummer-crochet 2132
Garment decreases can be worked at the beginning
andor end of a row a stitch or two in from each
edge or in the middle of a row The most
commonly used method for decreasing one or two
stitches in a row is working two or three stitches
together as one stitch
Try out these decreases in double half treble and
treble crochet so you will be familiar with them
when you first come across them in your crochet
pattern Similar decreases can be worked for most
simple stitch patterns and your instructions will
guide you through these when they are needed
Single dc decrease (dc2tog)
Working two double crochet stitches together is a
neater way to decrease one stitch than simply
missing a stitch
To work dc2tog insert the hook in the next stitch
yrh and draw a loop through then draw a loop
through the next stitch in the same way There are
now 3 loops on the hook Yrh and draw through all
3 loops on the hook to complete the single
decrease
Double dc decrease (dc3tog)
To decrease two stitches at once in a double crochet
insert hook in the next stitch yrh and draw a loop
through then draw a loop through each of the next
2 sti tches in the same way You now have 4 loops on
the hook Yrh and draw through all 4 loops on thehook to complete the double decrease
Single htr decrease (htr2tog)
The principal for working htr2tog is the same as for
dc2tog
To work htr2tog yrh and insert the hook in the
next stitch yrh and draw a loop through then do
the same in the next stitch You now have 5 loops
on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through all 5
loops on the hook to complete the single decrease
Double htr decrease (htr3tog)
To decrease two stitches at once in half treble
crochet yrh and insert the hook in the next stitch
yrh and draw a loop through then do the same in
each of the next 2 stitches You now have 7 loops
on the hook Yrh and draw through all 7 loops on
the hook to complete the double decrease
37
Decreasing one stitch in half trebles (htr2tog)
Decreasing one stitch in double crochet (dc2tog)
1 Make a fiundation chain of the required length You will be working the first
stitch into the fifth chain from the hook (see arrow)
2 Wrap the yarn twice around the hook then insert the hook into the fifth
chain from the hook and wrap the yarn around the hook again
3 Draw a loop through the chain There are four loops on the hook Wrapthe yarn around the hookhellip
4 hellipand draw a loop through the first two loops on the hook Repeat from
to until there is only one loop on left on the hook This completes the first
stitch Work one stitch into each remaining chain in the same way

The principal for working two stitches together in
treble crochet is the same as for double crochet and
half treble crochet-the next two stitches are worked
up to the last yrh and then drawn together with one
final yrh To work tr2tog yrh and insert the hook
in the next stitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh
and draw through the first 2 loops on the hook
then do the same in the next stitch You now have
3 loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through
all 3 loops on the hook to complete the single
decrease
Double tr decrease (tr2tog)
To decrease two stitches at once in treble crochet
you work three stitches together just as for double
crochet and half treble crochet
To work tr3togyrh and insert the hook in the nextstitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh and draw
through the first 2 loops on the hook then do the
same in each of the next 2 stitches You now have 4
loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through all
4 loops on the hook to complete the double
decrease
of a row
When working decreases in treble crochet at the
beginning of a row remember that the three turning
chains at the beginning of the row will count as
your first treble crochet stitch Miss the stitch at the
base of your turning chain then work the decrease
over the next two or three stitches as normal
To decrease at the end of a row of treble crochet
you will need to work your decrease and then work
a treble crochet into the top of the turning chain
so you need to count backwards from the edge of
the fabric to work out where to start your decrease
stitch It is especially important to count the number
of stitches you have left after a treble crochet
decrease to make sure you decreased by correct
number of stitches
Remember that the basic rules of treble crochet
stitches (and taller stitches) will still apply even when
working decreases - always miss the first stitch at the
beginning of the row and always work the last stitch
into the top of the turning row If there is an
exception to this rule your pattern will spell it out
clearly
A multi-stitch decrease at the end of row
You may need to decrease several stitches at once when shaping a garment to
create a sharp decrease instead of a sloped or curved one This type of multi-
stitch decrease occurs for example at the beginning of armhole shaping and
sleeve head shaping
Although the technique is the same for all stitches on tall stitches it creates an
abrupt right angle while on shorter stitches such as double crochet and half
treble crochet it can be integrated into a gentle curve
1 To decrease several stitches at the end of a row simply work to the point at
which the required number of stitches to decrease are still left unworked on
the row as shown then turn the work
2 On the following row work the turning chain then complete the row in
the pattern stitch as normal

On some garments the multi-stitch decrease needs to be worked in the same
row on both side edges of the garment piece - to create symmetry If this is the
case you will need to know how to work a multi-stitch decrease at the
beginning of the row as well
Because a slip stitch is very short it is useful for moving the hook along the
row without adding any height This is exactly what you do to decrease a large
number of stitches at the beginning of a row Work one turning chain then for
a right-angled decrease work in slip stitch over the number of stitches you want
to decrease and into the position for the first stitch of the row then work the
rest of the row in the usual pattern sti tch For a gentler curved decrease on half
treble crochet you can work a double crochet in the st itch before the first half
treble of the new row
It may be necessary to increase many stitches at the edge of a piece for exampleto start sleeves that are worked as one piece with the body of the garment
which are called lsquointegral sleeversquo
To create this right-angled increase you work extra chains - one for each stitch
required For symmetry the chains needed for each sleeve on the back of the
garment (or on the front of a pullover) need to be made on the same row as
explained here
A multi stitch increase at each end of a row
1 So that the multi-increases can be worked at both ends of the same rowprepare the chains for the increase at the end of the row on the row before the
increase row Begin this row (which will be the end of the increase row) by
working the same number of chains as needed for the number of stitches to be
increased plus an extra chain for the turning chain
Work one slip stitch into the second chain for the hook then one slip stitch
into each of the remaining chains and continue across the row as usual as shown
Because the slip stitches are very short they provide the perfect neutral base for
the increased stitches on the next row
2 At the beginning of the increase row again work the same number of chainsas the number of new stitches you need For the turning chain work the
number of chains required for the particular stitch you are using for the
garment-one chain for the double crochet being worked here Work across the
added chains then across the row to the slip stitches at the end For the extra
stitches needed at the end of the row work in the pattern stitch across the slip
stitches prepared at the beginning of the last row

1 Make a foundation chain of the desired length- about 20 chains is sufficient
You will be working the first stitch into the SECOND chain from the hook as
you did for making a slip stitch
2 Holding the foundation chain as shown insert the hook onto the second
chain from hook
3 Catch the yarn with the hook and wrap it around the hook (yrh) in the
usual way
4 Dr aw the yarn through the chain so that there are now two loops on the
hook
5Wrap the yarn around the hook again

HOW TO
Crochet the basicsPhotography by John Heseltine
Instructions by Emma Seddon
The next few pages show the simple instructions on how to complete the basic crochet stitches and garment shaping to help you to complete the designsfeatured in this brochure We hope that if you have not attempted crochet before these simple instructions will encourage you to pick up a crochet hook
Once mastered you will discover that crochet is one of the more enjoyable crafts and the possibilities of creating beautiful patterns are endless
A crochet slip stitch is the shortest of the basic crochet stitches As slip stitch is
rarely used on its own to make a fabric it is only necessary to learn how to
work it along a foundation chain for the time being Learning it is good practise
for working into the foundation chain
1 Make a foundation chain of the desired length You will be working the first
stitch into the SECOND chain from the hook (see arrow)
2 Holding the foundation chain between the thumb and forefinger of the yarn
hand insert the hook through the chain under one top loop of the second
chain from the hook Catch the ball end of the yarn with the hook so that it
wraps the yarn anticlockwise around it
3 Draw the yarn around the hook through the chain and then through the
loop on the hook You have just made your first slip stitch Work one slip stitchinto each remaining chain of the foundation chain in the same way

DOUBLE TREBLE CROCHET (dtr) (tr - US)
7212019 Summer Crochet
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullsummer-crochet 2132
Garment decreases can be worked at the beginning
andor end of a row a stitch or two in from each
edge or in the middle of a row The most
commonly used method for decreasing one or two
stitches in a row is working two or three stitches
together as one stitch
Try out these decreases in double half treble and
treble crochet so you will be familiar with them
when you first come across them in your crochet
pattern Similar decreases can be worked for most
simple stitch patterns and your instructions will
guide you through these when they are needed
Single dc decrease (dc2tog)
Working two double crochet stitches together is a
neater way to decrease one stitch than simply
missing a stitch
To work dc2tog insert the hook in the next stitch
yrh and draw a loop through then draw a loop
through the next stitch in the same way There are
now 3 loops on the hook Yrh and draw through all
3 loops on the hook to complete the single
decrease
Double dc decrease (dc3tog)
To decrease two stitches at once in a double crochet
insert hook in the next stitch yrh and draw a loop
through then draw a loop through each of the next
2 sti tches in the same way You now have 4 loops on
the hook Yrh and draw through all 4 loops on thehook to complete the double decrease
Single htr decrease (htr2tog)
The principal for working htr2tog is the same as for
dc2tog
To work htr2tog yrh and insert the hook in the
next stitch yrh and draw a loop through then do
the same in the next stitch You now have 5 loops
on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through all 5
loops on the hook to complete the single decrease
Double htr decrease (htr3tog)
To decrease two stitches at once in half treble
crochet yrh and insert the hook in the next stitch
yrh and draw a loop through then do the same in
each of the next 2 stitches You now have 7 loops
on the hook Yrh and draw through all 7 loops on
the hook to complete the double decrease
37
Decreasing one stitch in half trebles (htr2tog)
Decreasing one stitch in double crochet (dc2tog)
1 Make a fiundation chain of the required length You will be working the first
stitch into the fifth chain from the hook (see arrow)
2 Wrap the yarn twice around the hook then insert the hook into the fifth
chain from the hook and wrap the yarn around the hook again
3 Draw a loop through the chain There are four loops on the hook Wrapthe yarn around the hookhellip
4 hellipand draw a loop through the first two loops on the hook Repeat from
to until there is only one loop on left on the hook This completes the first
stitch Work one stitch into each remaining chain in the same way

The principal for working two stitches together in
treble crochet is the same as for double crochet and
half treble crochet-the next two stitches are worked
up to the last yrh and then drawn together with one
final yrh To work tr2tog yrh and insert the hook
in the next stitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh
and draw through the first 2 loops on the hook
then do the same in the next stitch You now have
3 loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through
all 3 loops on the hook to complete the single
decrease
Double tr decrease (tr2tog)
To decrease two stitches at once in treble crochet
you work three stitches together just as for double
crochet and half treble crochet
To work tr3togyrh and insert the hook in the nextstitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh and draw
through the first 2 loops on the hook then do the
same in each of the next 2 stitches You now have 4
loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through all
4 loops on the hook to complete the double
decrease
of a row
When working decreases in treble crochet at the
beginning of a row remember that the three turning
chains at the beginning of the row will count as
your first treble crochet stitch Miss the stitch at the
base of your turning chain then work the decrease
over the next two or three stitches as normal
To decrease at the end of a row of treble crochet
you will need to work your decrease and then work
a treble crochet into the top of the turning chain
so you need to count backwards from the edge of
the fabric to work out where to start your decrease
stitch It is especially important to count the number
of stitches you have left after a treble crochet
decrease to make sure you decreased by correct
number of stitches
Remember that the basic rules of treble crochet
stitches (and taller stitches) will still apply even when
working decreases - always miss the first stitch at the
beginning of the row and always work the last stitch
into the top of the turning row If there is an
exception to this rule your pattern will spell it out
clearly
A multi-stitch decrease at the end of row
You may need to decrease several stitches at once when shaping a garment to
create a sharp decrease instead of a sloped or curved one This type of multi-
stitch decrease occurs for example at the beginning of armhole shaping and
sleeve head shaping
Although the technique is the same for all stitches on tall stitches it creates an
abrupt right angle while on shorter stitches such as double crochet and half
treble crochet it can be integrated into a gentle curve
1 To decrease several stitches at the end of a row simply work to the point at
which the required number of stitches to decrease are still left unworked on
the row as shown then turn the work
2 On the following row work the turning chain then complete the row in
the pattern stitch as normal

On some garments the multi-stitch decrease needs to be worked in the same
row on both side edges of the garment piece - to create symmetry If this is the
case you will need to know how to work a multi-stitch decrease at the
beginning of the row as well
Because a slip stitch is very short it is useful for moving the hook along the
row without adding any height This is exactly what you do to decrease a large
number of stitches at the beginning of a row Work one turning chain then for
a right-angled decrease work in slip stitch over the number of stitches you want
to decrease and into the position for the first stitch of the row then work the
rest of the row in the usual pattern sti tch For a gentler curved decrease on half
treble crochet you can work a double crochet in the st itch before the first half
treble of the new row
It may be necessary to increase many stitches at the edge of a piece for exampleto start sleeves that are worked as one piece with the body of the garment
which are called lsquointegral sleeversquo
To create this right-angled increase you work extra chains - one for each stitch
required For symmetry the chains needed for each sleeve on the back of the
garment (or on the front of a pullover) need to be made on the same row as
explained here
A multi stitch increase at each end of a row
1 So that the multi-increases can be worked at both ends of the same rowprepare the chains for the increase at the end of the row on the row before the
increase row Begin this row (which will be the end of the increase row) by
working the same number of chains as needed for the number of stitches to be
increased plus an extra chain for the turning chain
Work one slip stitch into the second chain for the hook then one slip stitch
into each of the remaining chains and continue across the row as usual as shown
Because the slip stitches are very short they provide the perfect neutral base for
the increased stitches on the next row
2 At the beginning of the increase row again work the same number of chainsas the number of new stitches you need For the turning chain work the
number of chains required for the particular stitch you are using for the
garment-one chain for the double crochet being worked here Work across the
added chains then across the row to the slip stitches at the end For the extra
stitches needed at the end of the row work in the pattern stitch across the slip
stitches prepared at the beginning of the last row

1 Make a foundation chain of the desired length- about 20 chains is sufficient
You will be working the first stitch into the SECOND chain from the hook as
you did for making a slip stitch
2 Holding the foundation chain as shown insert the hook onto the second
chain from hook
3 Catch the yarn with the hook and wrap it around the hook (yrh) in the
usual way
4 Dr aw the yarn through the chain so that there are now two loops on the
hook

HOW TO
Crochet the basicsPhotography by John Heseltine
Instructions by Emma Seddon
The next few pages show the simple instructions on how to complete the basic crochet stitches and garment shaping to help you to complete the designsfeatured in this brochure We hope that if you have not attempted crochet before these simple instructions will encourage you to pick up a crochet hook
Once mastered you will discover that crochet is one of the more enjoyable crafts and the possibilities of creating beautiful patterns are endless
A crochet slip stitch is the shortest of the basic crochet stitches As slip stitch is
rarely used on its own to make a fabric it is only necessary to learn how to
work it along a foundation chain for the time being Learning it is good practise
for working into the foundation chain
1 Make a foundation chain of the desired length You will be working the first
stitch into the SECOND chain from the hook (see arrow)
2 Holding the foundation chain between the thumb and forefinger of the yarn
hand insert the hook through the chain under one top loop of the second
chain from the hook Catch the ball end of the yarn with the hook so that it
wraps the yarn anticlockwise around it
3 Draw the yarn around the hook through the chain and then through the
loop on the hook You have just made your first slip stitch Work one slip stitchinto each remaining chain of the foundation chain in the same way

DOUBLE TREBLE CROCHET (dtr) (tr - US)
7212019 Summer Crochet
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullsummer-crochet 2132
Garment decreases can be worked at the beginning
andor end of a row a stitch or two in from each
edge or in the middle of a row The most
commonly used method for decreasing one or two
stitches in a row is working two or three stitches
together as one stitch
Try out these decreases in double half treble and
treble crochet so you will be familiar with them
when you first come across them in your crochet
pattern Similar decreases can be worked for most
simple stitch patterns and your instructions will
guide you through these when they are needed
Single dc decrease (dc2tog)
Working two double crochet stitches together is a
neater way to decrease one stitch than simply
missing a stitch
To work dc2tog insert the hook in the next stitch
yrh and draw a loop through then draw a loop
through the next stitch in the same way There are
now 3 loops on the hook Yrh and draw through all
3 loops on the hook to complete the single
decrease
Double dc decrease (dc3tog)
To decrease two stitches at once in a double crochet
insert hook in the next stitch yrh and draw a loop
through then draw a loop through each of the next
2 sti tches in the same way You now have 4 loops on
the hook Yrh and draw through all 4 loops on thehook to complete the double decrease
Single htr decrease (htr2tog)
The principal for working htr2tog is the same as for
dc2tog
To work htr2tog yrh and insert the hook in the
next stitch yrh and draw a loop through then do
the same in the next stitch You now have 5 loops
on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through all 5
loops on the hook to complete the single decrease
Double htr decrease (htr3tog)
To decrease two stitches at once in half treble
crochet yrh and insert the hook in the next stitch
yrh and draw a loop through then do the same in
each of the next 2 stitches You now have 7 loops
on the hook Yrh and draw through all 7 loops on
the hook to complete the double decrease
37
Decreasing one stitch in half trebles (htr2tog)
Decreasing one stitch in double crochet (dc2tog)
1 Make a fiundation chain of the required length You will be working the first
stitch into the fifth chain from the hook (see arrow)
2 Wrap the yarn twice around the hook then insert the hook into the fifth
chain from the hook and wrap the yarn around the hook again
3 Draw a loop through the chain There are four loops on the hook Wrapthe yarn around the hookhellip
4 hellipand draw a loop through the first two loops on the hook Repeat from
to until there is only one loop on left on the hook This completes the first
stitch Work one stitch into each remaining chain in the same way

The principal for working two stitches together in
treble crochet is the same as for double crochet and
half treble crochet-the next two stitches are worked
up to the last yrh and then drawn together with one
final yrh To work tr2tog yrh and insert the hook
in the next stitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh
and draw through the first 2 loops on the hook
then do the same in the next stitch You now have
3 loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through
all 3 loops on the hook to complete the single
decrease
Double tr decrease (tr2tog)
To decrease two stitches at once in treble crochet
you work three stitches together just as for double
crochet and half treble crochet
To work tr3togyrh and insert the hook in the nextstitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh and draw
through the first 2 loops on the hook then do the
same in each of the next 2 stitches You now have 4
loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through all
4 loops on the hook to complete the double
decrease
of a row
When working decreases in treble crochet at the
beginning of a row remember that the three turning
chains at the beginning of the row will count as
your first treble crochet stitch Miss the stitch at the
base of your turning chain then work the decrease
over the next two or three stitches as normal
To decrease at the end of a row of treble crochet
you will need to work your decrease and then work
a treble crochet into the top of the turning chain
so you need to count backwards from the edge of
the fabric to work out where to start your decrease
stitch It is especially important to count the number
of stitches you have left after a treble crochet
decrease to make sure you decreased by correct
number of stitches
Remember that the basic rules of treble crochet
stitches (and taller stitches) will still apply even when
working decreases - always miss the first stitch at the
beginning of the row and always work the last stitch
into the top of the turning row If there is an
exception to this rule your pattern will spell it out
clearly
A multi-stitch decrease at the end of row
You may need to decrease several stitches at once when shaping a garment to
create a sharp decrease instead of a sloped or curved one This type of multi-
stitch decrease occurs for example at the beginning of armhole shaping and
sleeve head shaping
Although the technique is the same for all stitches on tall stitches it creates an
abrupt right angle while on shorter stitches such as double crochet and half
treble crochet it can be integrated into a gentle curve
1 To decrease several stitches at the end of a row simply work to the point at
which the required number of stitches to decrease are still left unworked on
the row as shown then turn the work
2 On the following row work the turning chain then complete the row in
the pattern stitch as normal

On some garments the multi-stitch decrease needs to be worked in the same
row on both side edges of the garment piece - to create symmetry If this is the
case you will need to know how to work a multi-stitch decrease at the
beginning of the row as well
Because a slip stitch is very short it is useful for moving the hook along the
row without adding any height This is exactly what you do to decrease a large
number of stitches at the beginning of a row Work one turning chain then for
a right-angled decrease work in slip stitch over the number of stitches you want
to decrease and into the position for the first stitch of the row then work the
rest of the row in the usual pattern sti tch For a gentler curved decrease on half
treble crochet you can work a double crochet in the st itch before the first half
treble of the new row
It may be necessary to increase many stitches at the edge of a piece for exampleto start sleeves that are worked as one piece with the body of the garment
which are called lsquointegral sleeversquo
To create this right-angled increase you work extra chains - one for each stitch
required For symmetry the chains needed for each sleeve on the back of the
garment (or on the front of a pullover) need to be made on the same row as
explained here
A multi stitch increase at each end of a row
1 So that the multi-increases can be worked at both ends of the same rowprepare the chains for the increase at the end of the row on the row before the
increase row Begin this row (which will be the end of the increase row) by
working the same number of chains as needed for the number of stitches to be
increased plus an extra chain for the turning chain
Work one slip stitch into the second chain for the hook then one slip stitch
into each of the remaining chains and continue across the row as usual as shown
Because the slip stitches are very short they provide the perfect neutral base for
the increased stitches on the next row
2 At the beginning of the increase row again work the same number of chainsas the number of new stitches you need For the turning chain work the
number of chains required for the particular stitch you are using for the
garment-one chain for the double crochet being worked here Work across the
added chains then across the row to the slip stitches at the end For the extra
stitches needed at the end of the row work in the pattern stitch across the slip
stitches prepared at the beginning of the last row

1 Make a foundation chain of the desired length- about 20 chains is sufficient
You will be working the first stitch into the SECOND chain from the hook as
you did for making a slip stitch
2 Holding the foundation chain as shown insert the hook onto the second
chain from hook
3 Catch the yarn with the hook and wrap it around the hook (yrh) in the
usual way

HOW TO
Crochet the basicsPhotography by John Heseltine
Instructions by Emma Seddon
The next few pages show the simple instructions on how to complete the basic crochet stitches and garment shaping to help you to complete the designsfeatured in this brochure We hope that if you have not attempted crochet before these simple instructions will encourage you to pick up a crochet hook
Once mastered you will discover that crochet is one of the more enjoyable crafts and the possibilities of creating beautiful patterns are endless
A crochet slip stitch is the shortest of the basic crochet stitches As slip stitch is
rarely used on its own to make a fabric it is only necessary to learn how to
work it along a foundation chain for the time being Learning it is good practise
for working into the foundation chain
1 Make a foundation chain of the desired length You will be working the first
stitch into the SECOND chain from the hook (see arrow)
2 Holding the foundation chain between the thumb and forefinger of the yarn
hand insert the hook through the chain under one top loop of the second
chain from the hook Catch the ball end of the yarn with the hook so that it
wraps the yarn anticlockwise around it
3 Draw the yarn around the hook through the chain and then through the
loop on the hook You have just made your first slip stitch Work one slip stitchinto each remaining chain of the foundation chain in the same way

DOUBLE TREBLE CROCHET (dtr) (tr - US)
7212019 Summer Crochet
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullsummer-crochet 2132
Garment decreases can be worked at the beginning
andor end of a row a stitch or two in from each
edge or in the middle of a row The most
commonly used method for decreasing one or two
stitches in a row is working two or three stitches
together as one stitch
Try out these decreases in double half treble and
treble crochet so you will be familiar with them
when you first come across them in your crochet
pattern Similar decreases can be worked for most
simple stitch patterns and your instructions will
guide you through these when they are needed
Single dc decrease (dc2tog)
Working two double crochet stitches together is a
neater way to decrease one stitch than simply
missing a stitch
To work dc2tog insert the hook in the next stitch
yrh and draw a loop through then draw a loop
through the next stitch in the same way There are
now 3 loops on the hook Yrh and draw through all
3 loops on the hook to complete the single
decrease
Double dc decrease (dc3tog)
To decrease two stitches at once in a double crochet
insert hook in the next stitch yrh and draw a loop
through then draw a loop through each of the next
2 sti tches in the same way You now have 4 loops on
the hook Yrh and draw through all 4 loops on thehook to complete the double decrease
Single htr decrease (htr2tog)
The principal for working htr2tog is the same as for
dc2tog
To work htr2tog yrh and insert the hook in the
next stitch yrh and draw a loop through then do
the same in the next stitch You now have 5 loops
on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through all 5
loops on the hook to complete the single decrease
Double htr decrease (htr3tog)
To decrease two stitches at once in half treble
crochet yrh and insert the hook in the next stitch
yrh and draw a loop through then do the same in
each of the next 2 stitches You now have 7 loops
on the hook Yrh and draw through all 7 loops on
the hook to complete the double decrease
37
Decreasing one stitch in half trebles (htr2tog)
Decreasing one stitch in double crochet (dc2tog)
1 Make a fiundation chain of the required length You will be working the first
stitch into the fifth chain from the hook (see arrow)
2 Wrap the yarn twice around the hook then insert the hook into the fifth
chain from the hook and wrap the yarn around the hook again
3 Draw a loop through the chain There are four loops on the hook Wrapthe yarn around the hookhellip
4 hellipand draw a loop through the first two loops on the hook Repeat from
to until there is only one loop on left on the hook This completes the first
stitch Work one stitch into each remaining chain in the same way

The principal for working two stitches together in
treble crochet is the same as for double crochet and
half treble crochet-the next two stitches are worked
up to the last yrh and then drawn together with one
final yrh To work tr2tog yrh and insert the hook
in the next stitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh
and draw through the first 2 loops on the hook
then do the same in the next stitch You now have
3 loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through
all 3 loops on the hook to complete the single
decrease
Double tr decrease (tr2tog)
To decrease two stitches at once in treble crochet
you work three stitches together just as for double
crochet and half treble crochet
To work tr3togyrh and insert the hook in the nextstitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh and draw
through the first 2 loops on the hook then do the
same in each of the next 2 stitches You now have 4
loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through all
4 loops on the hook to complete the double
decrease
of a row
When working decreases in treble crochet at the
beginning of a row remember that the three turning
chains at the beginning of the row will count as
your first treble crochet stitch Miss the stitch at the
base of your turning chain then work the decrease
over the next two or three stitches as normal
To decrease at the end of a row of treble crochet
you will need to work your decrease and then work
a treble crochet into the top of the turning chain
so you need to count backwards from the edge of
the fabric to work out where to start your decrease
stitch It is especially important to count the number
of stitches you have left after a treble crochet
decrease to make sure you decreased by correct
number of stitches
Remember that the basic rules of treble crochet
stitches (and taller stitches) will still apply even when
working decreases - always miss the first stitch at the
beginning of the row and always work the last stitch
into the top of the turning row If there is an
exception to this rule your pattern will spell it out
clearly
A multi-stitch decrease at the end of row
You may need to decrease several stitches at once when shaping a garment to
create a sharp decrease instead of a sloped or curved one This type of multi-
stitch decrease occurs for example at the beginning of armhole shaping and
sleeve head shaping
Although the technique is the same for all stitches on tall stitches it creates an
abrupt right angle while on shorter stitches such as double crochet and half
treble crochet it can be integrated into a gentle curve
1 To decrease several stitches at the end of a row simply work to the point at
which the required number of stitches to decrease are still left unworked on
the row as shown then turn the work
2 On the following row work the turning chain then complete the row in
the pattern stitch as normal

Decreasing two stitches in treble crochet (tr3tog)

On some garments the multi-stitch decrease needs to be worked in the same
row on both side edges of the garment piece - to create symmetry If this is the
case you will need to know how to work a multi-stitch decrease at the
beginning of the row as well
Because a slip stitch is very short it is useful for moving the hook along the
row without adding any height This is exactly what you do to decrease a large
number of stitches at the beginning of a row Work one turning chain then for
a right-angled decrease work in slip stitch over the number of stitches you want
to decrease and into the position for the first stitch of the row then work the
rest of the row in the usual pattern sti tch For a gentler curved decrease on half
treble crochet you can work a double crochet in the st itch before the first half
treble of the new row
It may be necessary to increase many stitches at the edge of a piece for exampleto start sleeves that are worked as one piece with the body of the garment
which are called lsquointegral sleeversquo
To create this right-angled increase you work extra chains - one for each stitch
required For symmetry the chains needed for each sleeve on the back of the
garment (or on the front of a pullover) need to be made on the same row as
explained here
A multi stitch increase at each end of a row
1 So that the multi-increases can be worked at both ends of the same rowprepare the chains for the increase at the end of the row on the row before the
increase row Begin this row (which will be the end of the increase row) by
working the same number of chains as needed for the number of stitches to be
increased plus an extra chain for the turning chain
Work one slip stitch into the second chain for the hook then one slip stitch
into each of the remaining chains and continue across the row as usual as shown
Because the slip stitches are very short they provide the perfect neutral base for
the increased stitches on the next row
2 At the beginning of the increase row again work the same number of chainsas the number of new stitches you need For the turning chain work the
number of chains required for the particular stitch you are using for the
garment-one chain for the double crochet being worked here Work across the
added chains then across the row to the slip stitches at the end For the extra
stitches needed at the end of the row work in the pattern stitch across the slip
stitches prepared at the beginning of the last row

1 Make a foundation chain of the desired length- about 20 chains is sufficient
You will be working the first stitch into the SECOND chain from the hook as
you did for making a slip stitch
2 Holding the foundation chain as shown insert the hook onto the second
chain from hook
3 Catch the yarn with the hook and wrap it around the hook (yrh) in the
usual way

HOW TO
Crochet the basicsPhotography by John Heseltine
Instructions by Emma Seddon
The next few pages show the simple instructions on how to complete the basic crochet stitches and garment shaping to help you to complete the designsfeatured in this brochure We hope that if you have not attempted crochet before these simple instructions will encourage you to pick up a crochet hook
Once mastered you will discover that crochet is one of the more enjoyable crafts and the possibilities of creating beautiful patterns are endless
A crochet slip stitch is the shortest of the basic crochet stitches As slip stitch is
rarely used on its own to make a fabric it is only necessary to learn how to
work it along a foundation chain for the time being Learning it is good practise
for working into the foundation chain
1 Make a foundation chain of the desired length You will be working the first
stitch into the SECOND chain from the hook (see arrow)
2 Holding the foundation chain between the thumb and forefinger of the yarn
hand insert the hook through the chain under one top loop of the second
chain from the hook Catch the ball end of the yarn with the hook so that it
wraps the yarn anticlockwise around it
3 Draw the yarn around the hook through the chain and then through the
loop on the hook You have just made your first slip stitch Work one slip stitchinto each remaining chain of the foundation chain in the same way

DOUBLE TREBLE CROCHET (dtr) (tr - US)
7212019 Summer Crochet
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullsummer-crochet 2132
Garment decreases can be worked at the beginning
andor end of a row a stitch or two in from each
edge or in the middle of a row The most
commonly used method for decreasing one or two
stitches in a row is working two or three stitches
together as one stitch
Try out these decreases in double half treble and
treble crochet so you will be familiar with them
when you first come across them in your crochet
pattern Similar decreases can be worked for most
simple stitch patterns and your instructions will
guide you through these when they are needed
Single dc decrease (dc2tog)
Working two double crochet stitches together is a
neater way to decrease one stitch than simply
missing a stitch
To work dc2tog insert the hook in the next stitch
yrh and draw a loop through then draw a loop
through the next stitch in the same way There are
now 3 loops on the hook Yrh and draw through all
3 loops on the hook to complete the single
decrease
Double dc decrease (dc3tog)
To decrease two stitches at once in a double crochet
insert hook in the next stitch yrh and draw a loop
through then draw a loop through each of the next
2 sti tches in the same way You now have 4 loops on
the hook Yrh and draw through all 4 loops on thehook to complete the double decrease
Single htr decrease (htr2tog)
The principal for working htr2tog is the same as for
dc2tog
To work htr2tog yrh and insert the hook in the
next stitch yrh and draw a loop through then do
the same in the next stitch You now have 5 loops
on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through all 5
loops on the hook to complete the single decrease
Double htr decrease (htr3tog)
To decrease two stitches at once in half treble
crochet yrh and insert the hook in the next stitch
yrh and draw a loop through then do the same in
each of the next 2 stitches You now have 7 loops
on the hook Yrh and draw through all 7 loops on
the hook to complete the double decrease
37
Decreasing one stitch in half trebles (htr2tog)
Decreasing one stitch in double crochet (dc2tog)
1 Make a fiundation chain of the required length You will be working the first
stitch into the fifth chain from the hook (see arrow)
2 Wrap the yarn twice around the hook then insert the hook into the fifth
chain from the hook and wrap the yarn around the hook again
3 Draw a loop through the chain There are four loops on the hook Wrapthe yarn around the hookhellip
4 hellipand draw a loop through the first two loops on the hook Repeat from
to until there is only one loop on left on the hook This completes the first
stitch Work one stitch into each remaining chain in the same way

The principal for working two stitches together in
treble crochet is the same as for double crochet and
half treble crochet-the next two stitches are worked
up to the last yrh and then drawn together with one
final yrh To work tr2tog yrh and insert the hook
in the next stitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh
and draw through the first 2 loops on the hook
then do the same in the next stitch You now have
3 loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through
all 3 loops on the hook to complete the single
decrease
Double tr decrease (tr2tog)
To decrease two stitches at once in treble crochet
you work three stitches together just as for double
crochet and half treble crochet
To work tr3togyrh and insert the hook in the nextstitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh and draw
through the first 2 loops on the hook then do the
same in each of the next 2 stitches You now have 4
loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through all
4 loops on the hook to complete the double
decrease
of a row
When working decreases in treble crochet at the
beginning of a row remember that the three turning
chains at the beginning of the row will count as
your first treble crochet stitch Miss the stitch at the
base of your turning chain then work the decrease
over the next two or three stitches as normal
To decrease at the end of a row of treble crochet
you will need to work your decrease and then work
a treble crochet into the top of the turning chain
so you need to count backwards from the edge of
the fabric to work out where to start your decrease
stitch It is especially important to count the number
of stitches you have left after a treble crochet
decrease to make sure you decreased by correct
number of stitches
Remember that the basic rules of treble crochet
stitches (and taller stitches) will still apply even when
working decreases - always miss the first stitch at the
beginning of the row and always work the last stitch
into the top of the turning row If there is an
exception to this rule your pattern will spell it out
clearly
A multi-stitch decrease at the end of row
You may need to decrease several stitches at once when shaping a garment to
create a sharp decrease instead of a sloped or curved one This type of multi-
stitch decrease occurs for example at the beginning of armhole shaping and
sleeve head shaping
Although the technique is the same for all stitches on tall stitches it creates an
abrupt right angle while on shorter stitches such as double crochet and half
treble crochet it can be integrated into a gentle curve
1 To decrease several stitches at the end of a row simply work to the point at
which the required number of stitches to decrease are still left unworked on
the row as shown then turn the work
2 On the following row work the turning chain then complete the row in
the pattern stitch as normal

On some garments the multi-stitch decrease needs to be worked in the same
row on both side edges of the garment piece - to create symmetry If this is the
case you will need to know how to work a multi-stitch decrease at the
beginning of the row as well
Because a slip stitch is very short it is useful for moving the hook along the
row without adding any height This is exactly what you do to decrease a large
number of stitches at the beginning of a row Work one turning chain then for
a right-angled decrease work in slip stitch over the number of stitches you want
to decrease and into the position for the first stitch of the row then work the
rest of the row in the usual pattern sti tch For a gentler curved decrease on half
treble crochet you can work a double crochet in the st itch before the first half
treble of the new row
It may be necessary to increase many stitches at the edge of a piece for exampleto start sleeves that are worked as one piece with the body of the garment
which are called lsquointegral sleeversquo
To create this right-angled increase you work extra chains - one for each stitch
required For symmetry the chains needed for each sleeve on the back of the
garment (or on the front of a pullover) need to be made on the same row as
explained here
A multi stitch increase at each end of a row
1 So that the multi-increases can be worked at both ends of the same rowprepare the chains for the increase at the end of the row on the row before the
increase row Begin this row (which will be the end of the increase row) by
working the same number of chains as needed for the number of stitches to be
increased plus an extra chain for the turning chain
Work one slip stitch into the second chain for the hook then one slip stitch
into each of the remaining chains and continue across the row as usual as shown
Because the slip stitches are very short they provide the perfect neutral base for
the increased stitches on the next row
2 At the beginning of the increase row again work the same number of chainsas the number of new stitches you need For the turning chain work the
number of chains required for the particular stitch you are using for the
garment-one chain for the double crochet being worked here Work across the
added chains then across the row to the slip stitches at the end For the extra
stitches needed at the end of the row work in the pattern stitch across the slip
stitches prepared at the beginning of the last row

Crochet the basicsPhotography by John Heseltine
Instructions by Emma Seddon
The next few pages show the simple instructions on how to complete the basic crochet stitches and garment shaping to help you to complete the designsfeatured in this brochure We hope that if you have not attempted crochet before these simple instructions will encourage you to pick up a crochet hook
Once mastered you will discover that crochet is one of the more enjoyable crafts and the possibilities of creating beautiful patterns are endless
A crochet slip stitch is the shortest of the basic crochet stitches As slip stitch is
rarely used on its own to make a fabric it is only necessary to learn how to
work it along a foundation chain for the time being Learning it is good practise
for working into the foundation chain
1 Make a foundation chain of the desired length You will be working the first
stitch into the SECOND chain from the hook (see arrow)
2 Holding the foundation chain between the thumb and forefinger of the yarn
hand insert the hook through the chain under one top loop of the second
chain from the hook Catch the ball end of the yarn with the hook so that it
wraps the yarn anticlockwise around it
3 Draw the yarn around the hook through the chain and then through the
loop on the hook You have just made your first slip stitch Work one slip stitchinto each remaining chain of the foundation chain in the same way

DOUBLE TREBLE CROCHET (dtr) (tr - US)
7212019 Summer Crochet
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullsummer-crochet 2132
Garment decreases can be worked at the beginning
andor end of a row a stitch or two in from each
edge or in the middle of a row The most
commonly used method for decreasing one or two
stitches in a row is working two or three stitches
together as one stitch
Try out these decreases in double half treble and
treble crochet so you will be familiar with them
when you first come across them in your crochet
pattern Similar decreases can be worked for most
simple stitch patterns and your instructions will
guide you through these when they are needed
Single dc decrease (dc2tog)
Working two double crochet stitches together is a
neater way to decrease one stitch than simply
missing a stitch
To work dc2tog insert the hook in the next stitch
yrh and draw a loop through then draw a loop
through the next stitch in the same way There are
now 3 loops on the hook Yrh and draw through all
3 loops on the hook to complete the single
decrease
Double dc decrease (dc3tog)
To decrease two stitches at once in a double crochet
insert hook in the next stitch yrh and draw a loop
through then draw a loop through each of the next
2 sti tches in the same way You now have 4 loops on
the hook Yrh and draw through all 4 loops on thehook to complete the double decrease
Single htr decrease (htr2tog)
The principal for working htr2tog is the same as for
dc2tog
To work htr2tog yrh and insert the hook in the
next stitch yrh and draw a loop through then do
the same in the next stitch You now have 5 loops
on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through all 5
loops on the hook to complete the single decrease
Double htr decrease (htr3tog)
To decrease two stitches at once in half treble
crochet yrh and insert the hook in the next stitch
yrh and draw a loop through then do the same in
each of the next 2 stitches You now have 7 loops
on the hook Yrh and draw through all 7 loops on
the hook to complete the double decrease

Decreasing one stitch in half trebles (htr2tog)
Decreasing one stitch in double crochet (dc2tog)
1 Make a fiundation chain of the required length You will be working the first
stitch into the fifth chain from the hook (see arrow)
2 Wrap the yarn twice around the hook then insert the hook into the fifth
chain from the hook and wrap the yarn around the hook again
3 Draw a loop through the chain There are four loops on the hook Wrapthe yarn around the hookhellip
4 hellipand draw a loop through the first two loops on the hook Repeat from
to until there is only one loop on left on the hook This completes the first
stitch Work one stitch into each remaining chain in the same way

The principal for working two stitches together in
treble crochet is the same as for double crochet and
half treble crochet-the next two stitches are worked
up to the last yrh and then drawn together with one
final yrh To work tr2tog yrh and insert the hook
in the next stitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh
and draw through the first 2 loops on the hook
then do the same in the next stitch You now have
3 loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through
all 3 loops on the hook to complete the single
decrease
Double tr decrease (tr2tog)
To decrease two stitches at once in treble crochet
you work three stitches together just as for double
crochet and half treble crochet
To work tr3togyrh and insert the hook in the nextstitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh and draw
through the first 2 loops on the hook then do the
same in each of the next 2 stitches You now have 4
loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through all
4 loops on the hook to complete the double
decrease
of a row
When working decreases in treble crochet at the
beginning of a row remember that the three turning
chains at the beginning of the row will count as
your first treble crochet stitch Miss the stitch at the
base of your turning chain then work the decrease
over the next two or three stitches as normal
To decrease at the end of a row of treble crochet
you will need to work your decrease and then work
a treble crochet into the top of the turning chain
so you need to count backwards from the edge of
the fabric to work out where to start your decrease
stitch It is especially important to count the number
of stitches you have left after a treble crochet
decrease to make sure you decreased by correct
number of stitches
Remember that the basic rules of treble crochet
stitches (and taller stitches) will still apply even when
working decreases - always miss the first stitch at the
beginning of the row and always work the last stitch
into the top of the turning row If there is an
exception to this rule your pattern will spell it out
clearly
A multi-stitch decrease at the end of row
You may need to decrease several stitches at once when shaping a garment to
create a sharp decrease instead of a sloped or curved one This type of multi-
stitch decrease occurs for example at the beginning of armhole shaping and
sleeve head shaping
Although the technique is the same for all stitches on tall stitches it creates an
abrupt right angle while on shorter stitches such as double crochet and half
treble crochet it can be integrated into a gentle curve
1 To decrease several stitches at the end of a row simply work to the point at
which the required number of stitches to decrease are still left unworked on
the row as shown then turn the work
2 On the following row work the turning chain then complete the row in
the pattern stitch as normal

On some garments the multi-stitch decrease needs to be worked in the same
row on both side edges of the garment piece - to create symmetry If this is the
case you will need to know how to work a multi-stitch decrease at the
beginning of the row as well
Because a slip stitch is very short it is useful for moving the hook along the
row without adding any height This is exactly what you do to decrease a large
number of stitches at the beginning of a row Work one turning chain then for
a right-angled decrease work in slip stitch over the number of stitches you want
to decrease and into the position for the first stitch of the row then work the
rest of the row in the usual pattern sti tch For a gentler curved decrease on half
treble crochet you can work a double crochet in the st itch before the first half
treble of the new row
It may be necessary to increase many stitches at the edge of a piece for exampleto start sleeves that are worked as one piece with the body of the garment
which are called lsquointegral sleeversquo
To create this right-angled increase you work extra chains - one for each stitch
required For symmetry the chains needed for each sleeve on the back of the
garment (or on the front of a pullover) need to be made on the same row as
explained here
A multi stitch increase at each end of a row
1 So that the multi-increases can be worked at both ends of the same rowprepare the chains for the increase at the end of the row on the row before the
increase row Begin this row (which will be the end of the increase row) by
working the same number of chains as needed for the number of stitches to be
increased plus an extra chain for the turning chain
Work one slip stitch into the second chain for the hook then one slip stitch
into each of the remaining chains and continue across the row as usual as shown
Because the slip stitches are very short they provide the perfect neutral base for
the increased stitches on the next row
2 At the beginning of the increase row again work the same number of chainsas the number of new stitches you need For the turning chain work the
number of chains required for the particular stitch you are using for the
garment-one chain for the double crochet being worked here Work across the
added chains then across the row to the slip stitches at the end For the extra
stitches needed at the end of the row work in the pattern stitch across the slip
stitches prepared at the beginning of the last row

1 Make a foundation chain of the desired length- about 20 chains is sufficient
You will be working the first stitch into the SECOND chain from the hook as
you did for making a slip stitch
2 Holding the foundation chain as shown insert the hook onto the second
chain from hook
3 Catch the yarn with the hook and wrap it around the hook (yrh) in the
usual way
4 Dr aw the yarn through the chain so that there are now two loops on the
hook
5Wrap the yarn around the hook again

HOW TO
Crochet the basicsPhotography by John Heseltine
Instructions by Emma Seddon
The next few pages show the simple instructions on how to complete the basic crochet stitches and garment shaping to help you to complete the designsfeatured in this brochure We hope that if you have not attempted crochet before these simple instructions will encourage you to pick up a crochet hook
Once mastered you will discover that crochet is one of the more enjoyable crafts and the possibilities of creating beautiful patterns are endless
A crochet slip stitch is the shortest of the basic crochet stitches As slip stitch is
rarely used on its own to make a fabric it is only necessary to learn how to
work it along a foundation chain for the time being Learning it is good practise
for working into the foundation chain
1 Make a foundation chain of the desired length You will be working the first
stitch into the SECOND chain from the hook (see arrow)
2 Holding the foundation chain between the thumb and forefinger of the yarn
hand insert the hook through the chain under one top loop of the second
chain from the hook Catch the ball end of the yarn with the hook so that it
wraps the yarn anticlockwise around it
3 Draw the yarn around the hook through the chain and then through the
loop on the hook You have just made your first slip stitch Work one slip stitchinto each remaining chain of the foundation chain in the same way

DOUBLE TREBLE CROCHET (dtr) (tr - US)
7212019 Summer Crochet
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullsummer-crochet 2132
Garment decreases can be worked at the beginning
andor end of a row a stitch or two in from each
edge or in the middle of a row The most
commonly used method for decreasing one or two
stitches in a row is working two or three stitches
together as one stitch
Try out these decreases in double half treble and
treble crochet so you will be familiar with them
when you first come across them in your crochet
pattern Similar decreases can be worked for most
simple stitch patterns and your instructions will
guide you through these when they are needed
Single dc decrease (dc2tog)
Working two double crochet stitches together is a
neater way to decrease one stitch than simply
missing a stitch
To work dc2tog insert the hook in the next stitch
yrh and draw a loop through then draw a loop
through the next stitch in the same way There are
now 3 loops on the hook Yrh and draw through all
3 loops on the hook to complete the single
decrease
Double dc decrease (dc3tog)
To decrease two stitches at once in a double crochet
insert hook in the next stitch yrh and draw a loop
through then draw a loop through each of the next
2 sti tches in the same way You now have 4 loops on
the hook Yrh and draw through all 4 loops on thehook to complete the double decrease
Single htr decrease (htr2tog)
The principal for working htr2tog is the same as for
dc2tog
To work htr2tog yrh and insert the hook in the
next stitch yrh and draw a loop through then do
the same in the next stitch You now have 5 loops
on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through all 5
loops on the hook to complete the single decrease
Double htr decrease (htr3tog)
To decrease two stitches at once in half treble
crochet yrh and insert the hook in the next stitch
yrh and draw a loop through then do the same in
each of the next 2 stitches You now have 7 loops
on the hook Yrh and draw through all 7 loops on
the hook to complete the double decrease

Decreasing one stitch in half trebles (htr2tog)
Decreasing one stitch in double crochet (dc2tog)

all 3 loops on the hook to complete the single
decrease
Double tr decrease (tr2tog)
To decrease two stitches at once in treble crochet
you work three stitches together just as for double
crochet and half treble crochet
To work tr3togyrh and insert the hook in the nextstitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh and draw
through the first 2 loops on the hook then do the
same in each of the next 2 stitches You now have 4
loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through all
4 loops on the hook to complete the double
decrease
of a row
When working decreases in treble crochet at the
beginning of a row remember that the three turning
chains at the beginning of the row will count as
your first treble crochet stitch Miss the stitch at the
base of your turning chain then work the decrease
over the next two or three stitches as normal
To decrease at the end of a row of treble crochet
you will need to work your decrease and then work
a treble crochet into the top of the turning chain
so you need to count backwards from the edge of
the fabric to work out where to start your decrease
stitch It is especially important to count the number
of stitches you have left after a treble crochet
decrease to make sure you decreased by correct
number of stitches
Remember that the basic rules of treble crochet
stitches (and taller stitches) will still apply even when
working decreases - always miss the first stitch at the
beginning of the row and always work the last stitch
into the top of the turning row If there is an
exception to this rule your pattern will spell it out
clearly
A multi-stitch decrease at the end of row
You may need to decrease several stitches at once when shaping a garment to
create a sharp decrease instead of a sloped or curved one This type of multi-
stitch decrease occurs for example at the beginning of armhole shaping and
sleeve head shaping
Although the technique is the same for all stitches on tall stitches it creates an
abrupt right angle while on shorter stitches such as double crochet and half
treble crochet it can be integrated into a gentle curve
1 To decrease several stitches at the end of a row simply work to the point at
which the required number of stitches to decrease are still left unworked on
the row as shown then turn the work
2 On the following row work the turning chain then complete the row in
the pattern stitch as normal

On some garments the multi-stitch decrease needs to be worked in the same
row on both side edges of the garment piece - to create symmetry If this is the
case you will need to know how to work a multi-stitch decrease at the
beginning of the row as well
Because a slip stitch is very short it is useful for moving the hook along the
row without adding any height This is exactly what you do to decrease a large
number of stitches at the beginning of a row Work one turning chain then for
a right-angled decrease work in slip stitch over the number of stitches you want
to decrease and into the position for the first stitch of the row then work the
rest of the row in the usual pattern sti tch For a gentler curved decrease on half
treble crochet you can work a double crochet in the st itch before the first half
treble of the new row
It may be necessary to increase many stitches at the edge of a piece for exampleto start sleeves that are worked as one piece with the body of the garment
which are called lsquointegral sleeversquo
To create this right-angled increase you work extra chains - one for each stitch
required For symmetry the chains needed for each sleeve on the back of the
garment (or on the front of a pullover) need to be made on the same row as
explained here
A multi stitch increase at each end of a row
1 So that the multi-increases can be worked at both ends of the same rowprepare the chains for the increase at the end of the row on the row before the
increase row Begin this row (which will be the end of the increase row) by
working the same number of chains as needed for the number of stitches to be
increased plus an extra chain for the turning chain
Work one slip stitch into the second chain for the hook then one slip stitch
into each of the remaining chains and continue across the row as usual as shown
Because the slip stitches are very short they provide the perfect neutral base for
the increased stitches on the next row
2 At the beginning of the increase row again work the same number of chainsas the number of new stitches you need For the turning chain work the
number of chains required for the particular stitch you are using for the
garment-one chain for the double crochet being worked here Work across the
added chains then across the row to the slip stitches at the end For the extra
stitches needed at the end of the row work in the pattern stitch across the slip
stitches prepared at the beginning of the last row

You will be working the first stitch into the SECOND chain from the hook as
you did for making a slip stitch
2 Holding the foundation chain as shown insert the hook onto the second
chain from hook
3 Catch the yarn with the hook and wrap it around the hook (yrh) in the

HOW TO
Crochet the basicsPhotography by John Heseltine
Instructions by Emma Seddon
The next few pages show the simple instructions on how to complete the basic crochet stitches and garment shaping to help you to complete the designsfeatured in this brochure We hope that if you have not attempted crochet before these simple instructions will encourage you to pick up a crochet hook
Once mastered you will discover that crochet is one of the more enjoyable crafts and the possibilities of creating beautiful patterns are endless
A crochet slip stitch is the shortest of the basic crochet stitches As slip stitch is
rarely used on its own to make a fabric it is only necessary to learn how to
work it along a foundation chain for the time being Learning it is good practise
for working into the foundation chain
1 Make a foundation chain of the desired length You will be working the first
stitch into the SECOND chain from the hook (see arrow)
2 Holding the foundation chain between the thumb and forefinger of the yarn
hand insert the hook through the chain under one top loop of the second
chain from the hook Catch the ball end of the yarn with the hook so that it
wraps the yarn anticlockwise around it
3 Draw the yarn around the hook through the chain and then through the
loop on the hook You have just made your first slip stitch Work one slip stitchinto each remaining chain of the foundation chain in the same way

DOUBLE TREBLE CROCHET (dtr) (tr - US)
7212019 Summer Crochet
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullsummer-crochet 2132
Garment decreases can be worked at the beginning
andor end of a row a stitch or two in from each
edge or in the middle of a row The most
commonly used method for decreasing one or two
stitches in a row is working two or three stitches
together as one stitch
Try out these decreases in double half treble and
treble crochet so you will be familiar with them
when you first come across them in your crochet
pattern Similar decreases can be worked for most
simple stitch patterns and your instructions will
guide you through these when they are needed
Single dc decrease (dc2tog)
Working two double crochet stitches together is a
neater way to decrease one stitch than simply
missing a stitch
To work dc2tog insert the hook in the next stitch
yrh and draw a loop through then draw a loop
through the next stitch in the same way There are
now 3 loops on the hook Yrh and draw through all
3 loops on the hook to complete the single
decrease
Double dc decrease (dc3tog)
To decrease two stitches at once in a double crochet
insert hook in the next stitch yrh and draw a loop
through then draw a loop through each of the next
2 sti tches in the same way You now have 4 loops on
the hook Yrh and draw through all 4 loops on thehook to complete the double decrease
Single htr decrease (htr2tog)
The principal for working htr2tog is the same as for
dc2tog
To work htr2tog yrh and insert the hook in the
next stitch yrh and draw a loop through then do
the same in the next stitch You now have 5 loops
on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through all 5
loops on the hook to complete the single decrease
Double htr decrease (htr3tog)
To decrease two stitches at once in half treble
crochet yrh and insert the hook in the next stitch
yrh and draw a loop through then do the same in
each of the next 2 stitches You now have 7 loops
on the hook Yrh and draw through all 7 loops on
the hook to complete the double decrease
37
Decreasing one stitch in half trebles (htr2tog)
Decreasing one stitch in double crochet (dc2tog)
1 Make a fiundation chain of the required length You will be working the first
stitch into the fifth chain from the hook (see arrow)
2 Wrap the yarn twice around the hook then insert the hook into the fifth
chain from the hook and wrap the yarn around the hook again
3 Draw a loop through the chain There are four loops on the hook Wrapthe yarn around the hookhellip
4 hellipand draw a loop through the first two loops on the hook Repeat from
to until there is only one loop on left on the hook This completes the first
stitch Work one stitch into each remaining chain in the same way

The principal for working two stitches together in
treble crochet is the same as for double crochet and
half treble crochet-the next two stitches are worked
up to the last yrh and then drawn together with one
final yrh To work tr2tog yrh and insert the hook
in the next stitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh
and draw through the first 2 loops on the hook
then do the same in the next stitch You now have
3 loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through
all 3 loops on the hook to complete the single
decrease
Double tr decrease (tr2tog)
To decrease two stitches at once in treble crochet
you work three stitches together just as for double
crochet and half treble crochet
To work tr3togyrh and insert the hook in the nextstitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh and draw
through the first 2 loops on the hook then do the
same in each of the next 2 stitches You now have 4
loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through all
4 loops on the hook to complete the double
decrease
of a row
When working decreases in treble crochet at the
beginning of a row remember that the three turning
chains at the beginning of the row will count as
your first treble crochet stitch Miss the stitch at the
base of your turning chain then work the decrease
over the next two or three stitches as normal
To decrease at the end of a row of treble crochet
you will need to work your decrease and then work
a treble crochet into the top of the turning chain
so you need to count backwards from the edge of
the fabric to work out where to start your decrease
stitch It is especially important to count the number
of stitches you have left after a treble crochet
decrease to make sure you decreased by correct
number of stitches
Remember that the basic rules of treble crochet
stitches (and taller stitches) will still apply even when
working decreases - always miss the first stitch at the
beginning of the row and always work the last stitch
into the top of the turning row If there is an
exception to this rule your pattern will spell it out
clearly
A multi-stitch decrease at the end of row
You may need to decrease several stitches at once when shaping a garment to
create a sharp decrease instead of a sloped or curved one This type of multi-
stitch decrease occurs for example at the beginning of armhole shaping and
sleeve head shaping
Although the technique is the same for all stitches on tall stitches it creates an
abrupt right angle while on shorter stitches such as double crochet and half
treble crochet it can be integrated into a gentle curve
1 To decrease several stitches at the end of a row simply work to the point at
which the required number of stitches to decrease are still left unworked on
the row as shown then turn the work
2 On the following row work the turning chain then complete the row in
the pattern stitch as normal

On some garments the multi-stitch decrease needs to be worked in the same
row on both side edges of the garment piece - to create symmetry If this is the
case you will need to know how to work a multi-stitch decrease at the
beginning of the row as well
Because a slip stitch is very short it is useful for moving the hook along the
row without adding any height This is exactly what you do to decrease a large
number of stitches at the beginning of a row Work one turning chain then for
a right-angled decrease work in slip stitch over the number of stitches you want
to decrease and into the position for the first stitch of the row then work the
rest of the row in the usual pattern sti tch For a gentler curved decrease on half
treble crochet you can work a double crochet in the st itch before the first half
treble of the new row
It may be necessary to increase many stitches at the edge of a piece for exampleto start sleeves that are worked as one piece with the body of the garment
which are called lsquointegral sleeversquo
To create this right-angled increase you work extra chains - one for each stitch
required For symmetry the chains needed for each sleeve on the back of the
garment (or on the front of a pullover) need to be made on the same row as
explained here
A multi stitch increase at each end of a row
1 So that the multi-increases can be worked at both ends of the same rowprepare the chains for the increase at the end of the row on the row before the
increase row Begin this row (which will be the end of the increase row) by
working the same number of chains as needed for the number of stitches to be
increased plus an extra chain for the turning chain
Work one slip stitch into the second chain for the hook then one slip stitch
into each of the remaining chains and continue across the row as usual as shown
Because the slip stitches are very short they provide the perfect neutral base for
the increased stitches on the next row
2 At the beginning of the increase row again work the same number of chainsas the number of new stitches you need For the turning chain work the
number of chains required for the particular stitch you are using for the
garment-one chain for the double crochet being worked here Work across the
added chains then across the row to the slip stitches at the end For the extra
stitches needed at the end of the row work in the pattern stitch across the slip
stitches prepared at the beginning of the last row

1 Make a foundation chain of the desired length- about 20 chains is sufficient
You will be working the first stitch into the SECOND chain from the hook as
you did for making a slip stitch
2 Holding the foundation chain as shown insert the hook onto the second
chain from hook
3 Catch the yarn with the hook and wrap it around the hook (yrh) in the
usual way

HOW TO
Crochet the basicsPhotography by John Heseltine
Instructions by Emma Seddon
The next few pages show the simple instructions on how to complete the basic crochet stitches and garment shaping to help you to complete the designsfeatured in this brochure We hope that if you have not attempted crochet before these simple instructions will encourage you to pick up a crochet hook
Once mastered you will discover that crochet is one of the more enjoyable crafts and the possibilities of creating beautiful patterns are endless
A crochet slip stitch is the shortest of the basic crochet stitches As slip stitch is
rarely used on its own to make a fabric it is only necessary to learn how to
work it along a foundation chain for the time being Learning it is good practise
for working into the foundation chain
1 Make a foundation chain of the desired length You will be working the first
stitch into the SECOND chain from the hook (see arrow)
2 Holding the foundation chain between the thumb and forefinger of the yarn
hand insert the hook through the chain under one top loop of the second
chain from the hook Catch the ball end of the yarn with the hook so that it
wraps the yarn anticlockwise around it
3 Draw the yarn around the hook through the chain and then through the
loop on the hook You have just made your first slip stitch Work one slip stitchinto each remaining chain of the foundation chain in the same way

DOUBLE TREBLE CROCHET (dtr) (tr - US)
7212019 Summer Crochet
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullsummer-crochet 2132
Garment decreases can be worked at the beginning
andor end of a row a stitch or two in from each
edge or in the middle of a row The most
commonly used method for decreasing one or two
stitches in a row is working two or three stitches
together as one stitch
Try out these decreases in double half treble and
treble crochet so you will be familiar with them
when you first come across them in your crochet
pattern Similar decreases can be worked for most
simple stitch patterns and your instructions will
guide you through these when they are needed
Single dc decrease (dc2tog)
Working two double crochet stitches together is a
neater way to decrease one stitch than simply
missing a stitch
To work dc2tog insert the hook in the next stitch
yrh and draw a loop through then draw a loop
through the next stitch in the same way There are
now 3 loops on the hook Yrh and draw through all
3 loops on the hook to complete the single
decrease
Double dc decrease (dc3tog)
To decrease two stitches at once in a double crochet
insert hook in the next stitch yrh and draw a loop
through then draw a loop through each of the next
2 sti tches in the same way You now have 4 loops on
the hook Yrh and draw through all 4 loops on thehook to complete the double decrease
Single htr decrease (htr2tog)
The principal for working htr2tog is the same as for
dc2tog
To work htr2tog yrh and insert the hook in the
next stitch yrh and draw a loop through then do
the same in the next stitch You now have 5 loops
on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through all 5
loops on the hook to complete the single decrease
Double htr decrease (htr3tog)
To decrease two stitches at once in half treble
crochet yrh and insert the hook in the next stitch
yrh and draw a loop through then do the same in
each of the next 2 stitches You now have 7 loops
on the hook Yrh and draw through all 7 loops on
the hook to complete the double decrease
37
Decreasing one stitch in half trebles (htr2tog)
Decreasing one stitch in double crochet (dc2tog)
1 Make a fiundation chain of the required length You will be working the first
stitch into the fifth chain from the hook (see arrow)
2 Wrap the yarn twice around the hook then insert the hook into the fifth
chain from the hook and wrap the yarn around the hook again
3 Draw a loop through the chain There are four loops on the hook Wrapthe yarn around the hookhellip
4 hellipand draw a loop through the first two loops on the hook Repeat from
to until there is only one loop on left on the hook This completes the first
stitch Work one stitch into each remaining chain in the same way

The principal for working two stitches together in
treble crochet is the same as for double crochet and
half treble crochet-the next two stitches are worked
up to the last yrh and then drawn together with one
final yrh To work tr2tog yrh and insert the hook
in the next stitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh
and draw through the first 2 loops on the hook
then do the same in the next stitch You now have
3 loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through
all 3 loops on the hook to complete the single
decrease
Double tr decrease (tr2tog)
To decrease two stitches at once in treble crochet
you work three stitches together just as for double
crochet and half treble crochet
To work tr3togyrh and insert the hook in the nextstitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh and draw
through the first 2 loops on the hook then do the
same in each of the next 2 stitches You now have 4
loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through all
4 loops on the hook to complete the double
decrease
of a row
When working decreases in treble crochet at the
beginning of a row remember that the three turning
chains at the beginning of the row will count as
your first treble crochet stitch Miss the stitch at the
base of your turning chain then work the decrease
over the next two or three stitches as normal
To decrease at the end of a row of treble crochet
you will need to work your decrease and then work
a treble crochet into the top of the turning chain
so you need to count backwards from the edge of
the fabric to work out where to start your decrease
stitch It is especially important to count the number
of stitches you have left after a treble crochet
decrease to make sure you decreased by correct
number of stitches
Remember that the basic rules of treble crochet
stitches (and taller stitches) will still apply even when
working decreases - always miss the first stitch at the
beginning of the row and always work the last stitch
into the top of the turning row If there is an
exception to this rule your pattern will spell it out
clearly
A multi-stitch decrease at the end of row
You may need to decrease several stitches at once when shaping a garment to
create a sharp decrease instead of a sloped or curved one This type of multi-
stitch decrease occurs for example at the beginning of armhole shaping and
sleeve head shaping
Although the technique is the same for all stitches on tall stitches it creates an
abrupt right angle while on shorter stitches such as double crochet and half
treble crochet it can be integrated into a gentle curve
1 To decrease several stitches at the end of a row simply work to the point at
which the required number of stitches to decrease are still left unworked on
the row as shown then turn the work
2 On the following row work the turning chain then complete the row in
the pattern stitch as normal

On some garments the multi-stitch decrease needs to be worked in the same
row on both side edges of the garment piece - to create symmetry If this is the
case you will need to know how to work a multi-stitch decrease at the
beginning of the row as well
Because a slip stitch is very short it is useful for moving the hook along the
row without adding any height This is exactly what you do to decrease a large
number of stitches at the beginning of a row Work one turning chain then for
a right-angled decrease work in slip stitch over the number of stitches you want
to decrease and into the position for the first stitch of the row then work the
rest of the row in the usual pattern sti tch For a gentler curved decrease on half
treble crochet you can work a double crochet in the st itch before the first half
treble of the new row
It may be necessary to increase many stitches at the edge of a piece for exampleto start sleeves that are worked as one piece with the body of the garment
which are called lsquointegral sleeversquo
To create this right-angled increase you work extra chains - one for each stitch
required For symmetry the chains needed for each sleeve on the back of the
garment (or on the front of a pullover) need to be made on the same row as
explained here
A multi stitch increase at each end of a row
1 So that the multi-increases can be worked at both ends of the same rowprepare the chains for the increase at the end of the row on the row before the
increase row Begin this row (which will be the end of the increase row) by
working the same number of chains as needed for the number of stitches to be
increased plus an extra chain for the turning chain
Work one slip stitch into the second chain for the hook then one slip stitch
into each of the remaining chains and continue across the row as usual as shown
Because the slip stitches are very short they provide the perfect neutral base for
the increased stitches on the next row
2 At the beginning of the increase row again work the same number of chainsas the number of new stitches you need For the turning chain work the
number of chains required for the particular stitch you are using for the
garment-one chain for the double crochet being worked here Work across the
added chains then across the row to the slip stitches at the end For the extra
stitches needed at the end of the row work in the pattern stitch across the slip
stitches prepared at the beginning of the last row

1 Make a foundation chain of the desired length- about 20 chains is sufficient
You will be working the first stitch into the SECOND chain from the hook as
you did for making a slip stitch
2 Holding the foundation chain as shown insert the hook onto the second
chain from hook
3 Catch the yarn with the hook and wrap it around the hook (yrh) in the
usual way
4 Dr aw the yarn through the chain so that there are now two loops on the

HOW TO
Crochet the basicsPhotography by John Heseltine
Instructions by Emma Seddon
The next few pages show the simple instructions on how to complete the basic crochet stitches and garment shaping to help you to complete the designsfeatured in this brochure We hope that if you have not attempted crochet before these simple instructions will encourage you to pick up a crochet hook
Once mastered you will discover that crochet is one of the more enjoyable crafts and the possibilities of creating beautiful patterns are endless
A crochet slip stitch is the shortest of the basic crochet stitches As slip stitch is
rarely used on its own to make a fabric it is only necessary to learn how to
work it along a foundation chain for the time being Learning it is good practise
for working into the foundation chain
1 Make a foundation chain of the desired length You will be working the first
stitch into the SECOND chain from the hook (see arrow)
2 Holding the foundation chain between the thumb and forefinger of the yarn
hand insert the hook through the chain under one top loop of the second
chain from the hook Catch the ball end of the yarn with the hook so that it
wraps the yarn anticlockwise around it
3 Draw the yarn around the hook through the chain and then through the
loop on the hook You have just made your first slip stitch Work one slip stitchinto each remaining chain of the foundation chain in the same way

DOUBLE TREBLE CROCHET (dtr) (tr - US)
7212019 Summer Crochet
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullsummer-crochet 2132
Garment decreases can be worked at the beginning
andor end of a row a stitch or two in from each
edge or in the middle of a row The most
commonly used method for decreasing one or two
stitches in a row is working two or three stitches
together as one stitch
Try out these decreases in double half treble and
treble crochet so you will be familiar with them
when you first come across them in your crochet
pattern Similar decreases can be worked for most
simple stitch patterns and your instructions will
guide you through these when they are needed
Single dc decrease (dc2tog)
Working two double crochet stitches together is a
neater way to decrease one stitch than simply
missing a stitch
To work dc2tog insert the hook in the next stitch
yrh and draw a loop through then draw a loop
through the next stitch in the same way There are
now 3 loops on the hook Yrh and draw through all
3 loops on the hook to complete the single
decrease
Double dc decrease (dc3tog)
To decrease two stitches at once in a double crochet
insert hook in the next stitch yrh and draw a loop
through then draw a loop through each of the next
2 sti tches in the same way You now have 4 loops on
the hook Yrh and draw through all 4 loops on thehook to complete the double decrease
Single htr decrease (htr2tog)
The principal for working htr2tog is the same as for
dc2tog
To work htr2tog yrh and insert the hook in the
next stitch yrh and draw a loop through then do
the same in the next stitch You now have 5 loops
on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through all 5
loops on the hook to complete the single decrease
Double htr decrease (htr3tog)
To decrease two stitches at once in half treble
crochet yrh and insert the hook in the next stitch
yrh and draw a loop through then do the same in
each of the next 2 stitches You now have 7 loops
on the hook Yrh and draw through all 7 loops on
the hook to complete the double decrease
37
Decreasing one stitch in half trebles (htr2tog)
Decreasing one stitch in double crochet (dc2tog)
1 Make a fiundation chain of the required length You will be working the first
stitch into the fifth chain from the hook (see arrow)
2 Wrap the yarn twice around the hook then insert the hook into the fifth
chain from the hook and wrap the yarn around the hook again
3 Draw a loop through the chain There are four loops on the hook Wrapthe yarn around the hookhellip
4 hellipand draw a loop through the first two loops on the hook Repeat from
to until there is only one loop on left on the hook This completes the first
stitch Work one stitch into each remaining chain in the same way

The principal for working two stitches together in
treble crochet is the same as for double crochet and
half treble crochet-the next two stitches are worked
up to the last yrh and then drawn together with one
final yrh To work tr2tog yrh and insert the hook
in the next stitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh
and draw through the first 2 loops on the hook
then do the same in the next stitch You now have
3 loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through
all 3 loops on the hook to complete the single
decrease
Double tr decrease (tr2tog)
To decrease two stitches at once in treble crochet
you work three stitches together just as for double
crochet and half treble crochet
To work tr3togyrh and insert the hook in the nextstitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh and draw
through the first 2 loops on the hook then do the
same in each of the next 2 stitches You now have 4
loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through all
4 loops on the hook to complete the double
decrease
of a row
When working decreases in treble crochet at the
beginning of a row remember that the three turning
chains at the beginning of the row will count as
your first treble crochet stitch Miss the stitch at the
base of your turning chain then work the decrease
over the next two or three stitches as normal
To decrease at the end of a row of treble crochet
you will need to work your decrease and then work
a treble crochet into the top of the turning chain
so you need to count backwards from the edge of
the fabric to work out where to start your decrease
stitch It is especially important to count the number
of stitches you have left after a treble crochet
decrease to make sure you decreased by correct
number of stitches
Remember that the basic rules of treble crochet
stitches (and taller stitches) will still apply even when
working decreases - always miss the first stitch at the
beginning of the row and always work the last stitch
into the top of the turning row If there is an
exception to this rule your pattern will spell it out
clearly
A multi-stitch decrease at the end of row
You may need to decrease several stitches at once when shaping a garment to
create a sharp decrease instead of a sloped or curved one This type of multi-
stitch decrease occurs for example at the beginning of armhole shaping and
sleeve head shaping
Although the technique is the same for all stitches on tall stitches it creates an
abrupt right angle while on shorter stitches such as double crochet and half
treble crochet it can be integrated into a gentle curve
1 To decrease several stitches at the end of a row simply work to the point at
which the required number of stitches to decrease are still left unworked on
the row as shown then turn the work
2 On the following row work the turning chain then complete the row in
the pattern stitch as normal

Decreasing two stitches in treble crochet (tr3tog)

On some garments the multi-stitch decrease needs to be worked in the same
row on both side edges of the garment piece - to create symmetry If this is the
case you will need to know how to work a multi-stitch decrease at the
beginning of the row as well
Because a slip stitch is very short it is useful for moving the hook along the
row without adding any height This is exactly what you do to decrease a large
number of stitches at the beginning of a row Work one turning chain then for
a right-angled decrease work in slip stitch over the number of stitches you want
to decrease and into the position for the first stitch of the row then work the
rest of the row in the usual pattern sti tch For a gentler curved decrease on half
treble crochet you can work a double crochet in the st itch before the first half
treble of the new row
It may be necessary to increase many stitches at the edge of a piece for exampleto start sleeves that are worked as one piece with the body of the garment
which are called lsquointegral sleeversquo
To create this right-angled increase you work extra chains - one for each stitch
required For symmetry the chains needed for each sleeve on the back of the
garment (or on the front of a pullover) need to be made on the same row as
explained here
A multi stitch increase at each end of a row
1 So that the multi-increases can be worked at both ends of the same rowprepare the chains for the increase at the end of the row on the row before the
increase row Begin this row (which will be the end of the increase row) by
working the same number of chains as needed for the number of stitches to be
increased plus an extra chain for the turning chain
Work one slip stitch into the second chain for the hook then one slip stitch
into each of the remaining chains and continue across the row as usual as shown
Because the slip stitches are very short they provide the perfect neutral base for
the increased stitches on the next row
2 At the beginning of the increase row again work the same number of chainsas the number of new stitches you need For the turning chain work the
number of chains required for the particular stitch you are using for the
garment-one chain for the double crochet being worked here Work across the
added chains then across the row to the slip stitches at the end For the extra
stitches needed at the end of the row work in the pattern stitch across the slip
stitches prepared at the beginning of the last row

HOW TO
Crochet the basicsPhotography by John Heseltine
Instructions by Emma Seddon
The next few pages show the simple instructions on how to complete the basic crochet stitches and garment shaping to help you to complete the designsfeatured in this brochure We hope that if you have not attempted crochet before these simple instructions will encourage you to pick up a crochet hook
Once mastered you will discover that crochet is one of the more enjoyable crafts and the possibilities of creating beautiful patterns are endless
A crochet slip stitch is the shortest of the basic crochet stitches As slip stitch is
rarely used on its own to make a fabric it is only necessary to learn how to
work it along a foundation chain for the time being Learning it is good practise
for working into the foundation chain
1 Make a foundation chain of the desired length You will be working the first
stitch into the SECOND chain from the hook (see arrow)
2 Holding the foundation chain between the thumb and forefinger of the yarn
hand insert the hook through the chain under one top loop of the second
chain from the hook Catch the ball end of the yarn with the hook so that it
wraps the yarn anticlockwise around it
3 Draw the yarn around the hook through the chain and then through the
loop on the hook You have just made your first slip stitch Work one slip stitchinto each remaining chain of the foundation chain in the same way

DOUBLE TREBLE CROCHET (dtr) (tr - US)
7212019 Summer Crochet
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullsummer-crochet 2132
Garment decreases can be worked at the beginning
andor end of a row a stitch or two in from each
edge or in the middle of a row The most
commonly used method for decreasing one or two
stitches in a row is working two or three stitches
together as one stitch
Try out these decreases in double half treble and
treble crochet so you will be familiar with them
when you first come across them in your crochet
pattern Similar decreases can be worked for most
simple stitch patterns and your instructions will
guide you through these when they are needed
Single dc decrease (dc2tog)
Working two double crochet stitches together is a
neater way to decrease one stitch than simply
missing a stitch
To work dc2tog insert the hook in the next stitch
yrh and draw a loop through then draw a loop
through the next stitch in the same way There are
now 3 loops on the hook Yrh and draw through all
3 loops on the hook to complete the single
decrease
Double dc decrease (dc3tog)
To decrease two stitches at once in a double crochet
insert hook in the next stitch yrh and draw a loop
through then draw a loop through each of the next
2 sti tches in the same way You now have 4 loops on
the hook Yrh and draw through all 4 loops on thehook to complete the double decrease
Single htr decrease (htr2tog)
The principal for working htr2tog is the same as for
dc2tog
To work htr2tog yrh and insert the hook in the
next stitch yrh and draw a loop through then do
the same in the next stitch You now have 5 loops
on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through all 5
loops on the hook to complete the single decrease
Double htr decrease (htr3tog)
To decrease two stitches at once in half treble
crochet yrh and insert the hook in the next stitch
yrh and draw a loop through then do the same in
each of the next 2 stitches You now have 7 loops
on the hook Yrh and draw through all 7 loops on
the hook to complete the double decrease
37
Decreasing one stitch in half trebles (htr2tog)
Decreasing one stitch in double crochet (dc2tog)
1 Make a fiundation chain of the required length You will be working the first
stitch into the fifth chain from the hook (see arrow)
2 Wrap the yarn twice around the hook then insert the hook into the fifth
chain from the hook and wrap the yarn around the hook again
3 Draw a loop through the chain There are four loops on the hook Wrapthe yarn around the hookhellip
4 hellipand draw a loop through the first two loops on the hook Repeat from
to until there is only one loop on left on the hook This completes the first
stitch Work one stitch into each remaining chain in the same way

The principal for working two stitches together in
treble crochet is the same as for double crochet and
half treble crochet-the next two stitches are worked
up to the last yrh and then drawn together with one
final yrh To work tr2tog yrh and insert the hook
in the next stitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh
and draw through the first 2 loops on the hook
then do the same in the next stitch You now have
3 loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through
all 3 loops on the hook to complete the single
decrease
Double tr decrease (tr2tog)
To decrease two stitches at once in treble crochet
you work three stitches together just as for double
crochet and half treble crochet
To work tr3togyrh and insert the hook in the nextstitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh and draw
through the first 2 loops on the hook then do the
same in each of the next 2 stitches You now have 4
loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through all
4 loops on the hook to complete the double
decrease
of a row
When working decreases in treble crochet at the
beginning of a row remember that the three turning
chains at the beginning of the row will count as
your first treble crochet stitch Miss the stitch at the
base of your turning chain then work the decrease
over the next two or three stitches as normal
To decrease at the end of a row of treble crochet
you will need to work your decrease and then work
a treble crochet into the top of the turning chain
so you need to count backwards from the edge of
the fabric to work out where to start your decrease
stitch It is especially important to count the number
of stitches you have left after a treble crochet
decrease to make sure you decreased by correct
number of stitches
Remember that the basic rules of treble crochet
stitches (and taller stitches) will still apply even when
working decreases - always miss the first stitch at the
beginning of the row and always work the last stitch
into the top of the turning row If there is an
exception to this rule your pattern will spell it out
clearly
A multi-stitch decrease at the end of row
You may need to decrease several stitches at once when shaping a garment to
create a sharp decrease instead of a sloped or curved one This type of multi-
stitch decrease occurs for example at the beginning of armhole shaping and
sleeve head shaping
Although the technique is the same for all stitches on tall stitches it creates an
abrupt right angle while on shorter stitches such as double crochet and half
treble crochet it can be integrated into a gentle curve
1 To decrease several stitches at the end of a row simply work to the point at
which the required number of stitches to decrease are still left unworked on
the row as shown then turn the work
2 On the following row work the turning chain then complete the row in
the pattern stitch as normal

On some garments the multi-stitch decrease needs to be worked in the same
row on both side edges of the garment piece - to create symmetry If this is the
case you will need to know how to work a multi-stitch decrease at the
beginning of the row as well
Because a slip stitch is very short it is useful for moving the hook along the
row without adding any height This is exactly what you do to decrease a large
number of stitches at the beginning of a row Work one turning chain then for
a right-angled decrease work in slip stitch over the number of stitches you want
to decrease and into the position for the first stitch of the row then work the
rest of the row in the usual pattern sti tch For a gentler curved decrease on half
treble crochet you can work a double crochet in the st itch before the first half
treble of the new row
It may be necessary to increase many stitches at the edge of a piece for exampleto start sleeves that are worked as one piece with the body of the garment
which are called lsquointegral sleeversquo
To create this right-angled increase you work extra chains - one for each stitch
required For symmetry the chains needed for each sleeve on the back of the
garment (or on the front of a pullover) need to be made on the same row as
explained here
A multi stitch increase at each end of a row
1 So that the multi-increases can be worked at both ends of the same rowprepare the chains for the increase at the end of the row on the row before the
increase row Begin this row (which will be the end of the increase row) by
working the same number of chains as needed for the number of stitches to be
increased plus an extra chain for the turning chain
Work one slip stitch into the second chain for the hook then one slip stitch
into each of the remaining chains and continue across the row as usual as shown
Because the slip stitches are very short they provide the perfect neutral base for
the increased stitches on the next row
2 At the beginning of the increase row again work the same number of chainsas the number of new stitches you need For the turning chain work the
number of chains required for the particular stitch you are using for the
garment-one chain for the double crochet being worked here Work across the
added chains then across the row to the slip stitches at the end For the extra
stitches needed at the end of the row work in the pattern stitch across the slip
stitches prepared at the beginning of the last row

DOUBLE TREBLE CROCHET (dtr) (tr - US)
7212019 Summer Crochet
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullsummer-crochet 2132
Garment decreases can be worked at the beginning
andor end of a row a stitch or two in from each
edge or in the middle of a row The most
commonly used method for decreasing one or two
stitches in a row is working two or three stitches
together as one stitch
Try out these decreases in double half treble and
treble crochet so you will be familiar with them
when you first come across them in your crochet
pattern Similar decreases can be worked for most
simple stitch patterns and your instructions will
guide you through these when they are needed
Single dc decrease (dc2tog)
Working two double crochet stitches together is a
neater way to decrease one stitch than simply
missing a stitch
To work dc2tog insert the hook in the next stitch
yrh and draw a loop through then draw a loop
through the next stitch in the same way There are
now 3 loops on the hook Yrh and draw through all
3 loops on the hook to complete the single
decrease
Double dc decrease (dc3tog)
To decrease two stitches at once in a double crochet
insert hook in the next stitch yrh and draw a loop
through then draw a loop through each of the next
2 sti tches in the same way You now have 4 loops on
the hook Yrh and draw through all 4 loops on thehook to complete the double decrease
Single htr decrease (htr2tog)
The principal for working htr2tog is the same as for
dc2tog
To work htr2tog yrh and insert the hook in the
next stitch yrh and draw a loop through then do
the same in the next stitch You now have 5 loops
on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through all 5
loops on the hook to complete the single decrease
Double htr decrease (htr3tog)
To decrease two stitches at once in half treble
crochet yrh and insert the hook in the next stitch
yrh and draw a loop through then do the same in
each of the next 2 stitches You now have 7 loops
on the hook Yrh and draw through all 7 loops on
the hook to complete the double decrease

Decreasing one stitch in half trebles (htr2tog)
Decreasing one stitch in double crochet (dc2tog)
1 Make a fiundation chain of the required length You will be working the first
stitch into the fifth chain from the hook (see arrow)
2 Wrap the yarn twice around the hook then insert the hook into the fifth
chain from the hook and wrap the yarn around the hook again
3 Draw a loop through the chain There are four loops on the hook Wrapthe yarn around the hookhellip
4 hellipand draw a loop through the first two loops on the hook Repeat from
to until there is only one loop on left on the hook This completes the first
stitch Work one stitch into each remaining chain in the same way

The principal for working two stitches together in
treble crochet is the same as for double crochet and
half treble crochet-the next two stitches are worked
up to the last yrh and then drawn together with one
final yrh To work tr2tog yrh and insert the hook
in the next stitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh
and draw through the first 2 loops on the hook
then do the same in the next stitch You now have
3 loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through
all 3 loops on the hook to complete the single
decrease
Double tr decrease (tr2tog)
To decrease two stitches at once in treble crochet
you work three stitches together just as for double
crochet and half treble crochet
To work tr3togyrh and insert the hook in the nextstitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh and draw
through the first 2 loops on the hook then do the
same in each of the next 2 stitches You now have 4
loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through all
4 loops on the hook to complete the double
decrease
of a row
When working decreases in treble crochet at the
beginning of a row remember that the three turning
chains at the beginning of the row will count as
your first treble crochet stitch Miss the stitch at the
base of your turning chain then work the decrease
over the next two or three stitches as normal
To decrease at the end of a row of treble crochet
you will need to work your decrease and then work
a treble crochet into the top of the turning chain
so you need to count backwards from the edge of
the fabric to work out where to start your decrease
stitch It is especially important to count the number
of stitches you have left after a treble crochet
decrease to make sure you decreased by correct
number of stitches
Remember that the basic rules of treble crochet
stitches (and taller stitches) will still apply even when
working decreases - always miss the first stitch at the
beginning of the row and always work the last stitch
into the top of the turning row If there is an
exception to this rule your pattern will spell it out
clearly
A multi-stitch decrease at the end of row
You may need to decrease several stitches at once when shaping a garment to
create a sharp decrease instead of a sloped or curved one This type of multi-
stitch decrease occurs for example at the beginning of armhole shaping and
sleeve head shaping
Although the technique is the same for all stitches on tall stitches it creates an
abrupt right angle while on shorter stitches such as double crochet and half
treble crochet it can be integrated into a gentle curve
1 To decrease several stitches at the end of a row simply work to the point at
which the required number of stitches to decrease are still left unworked on
the row as shown then turn the work
2 On the following row work the turning chain then complete the row in
the pattern stitch as normal

On some garments the multi-stitch decrease needs to be worked in the same
row on both side edges of the garment piece - to create symmetry If this is the
case you will need to know how to work a multi-stitch decrease at the
beginning of the row as well
Because a slip stitch is very short it is useful for moving the hook along the
row without adding any height This is exactly what you do to decrease a large
number of stitches at the beginning of a row Work one turning chain then for
a right-angled decrease work in slip stitch over the number of stitches you want
to decrease and into the position for the first stitch of the row then work the
rest of the row in the usual pattern sti tch For a gentler curved decrease on half
treble crochet you can work a double crochet in the st itch before the first half
treble of the new row
It may be necessary to increase many stitches at the edge of a piece for exampleto start sleeves that are worked as one piece with the body of the garment
which are called lsquointegral sleeversquo
To create this right-angled increase you work extra chains - one for each stitch
required For symmetry the chains needed for each sleeve on the back of the
garment (or on the front of a pullover) need to be made on the same row as
explained here
A multi stitch increase at each end of a row
1 So that the multi-increases can be worked at both ends of the same rowprepare the chains for the increase at the end of the row on the row before the
increase row Begin this row (which will be the end of the increase row) by
working the same number of chains as needed for the number of stitches to be
increased plus an extra chain for the turning chain
Work one slip stitch into the second chain for the hook then one slip stitch
into each of the remaining chains and continue across the row as usual as shown
Because the slip stitches are very short they provide the perfect neutral base for
the increased stitches on the next row
2 At the beginning of the increase row again work the same number of chainsas the number of new stitches you need For the turning chain work the
number of chains required for the particular stitch you are using for the
garment-one chain for the double crochet being worked here Work across the
added chains then across the row to the slip stitches at the end For the extra
stitches needed at the end of the row work in the pattern stitch across the slip
stitches prepared at the beginning of the last row

You will be working the first stitch into the SECOND chain from the hook as
you did for making a slip stitch
2 Holding the foundation chain as shown insert the hook onto the second
chain from hook
3 Catch the yarn with the hook and wrap it around the hook (yrh) in the
usual way
4 Dr aw the yarn through the chain so that there are now two loops on the

HOW TO
Crochet the basicsPhotography by John Heseltine
Instructions by Emma Seddon
The next few pages show the simple instructions on how to complete the basic crochet stitches and garment shaping to help you to complete the designsfeatured in this brochure We hope that if you have not attempted crochet before these simple instructions will encourage you to pick up a crochet hook
Once mastered you will discover that crochet is one of the more enjoyable crafts and the possibilities of creating beautiful patterns are endless
A crochet slip stitch is the shortest of the basic crochet stitches As slip stitch is
rarely used on its own to make a fabric it is only necessary to learn how to
work it along a foundation chain for the time being Learning it is good practise
for working into the foundation chain
1 Make a foundation chain of the desired length You will be working the first
stitch into the SECOND chain from the hook (see arrow)
2 Holding the foundation chain between the thumb and forefinger of the yarn
hand insert the hook through the chain under one top loop of the second
chain from the hook Catch the ball end of the yarn with the hook so that it
wraps the yarn anticlockwise around it
3 Draw the yarn around the hook through the chain and then through the
loop on the hook You have just made your first slip stitch Work one slip stitchinto each remaining chain of the foundation chain in the same way

DOUBLE TREBLE CROCHET (dtr) (tr - US)
7212019 Summer Crochet
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullsummer-crochet 2132
Garment decreases can be worked at the beginning
andor end of a row a stitch or two in from each
edge or in the middle of a row The most
commonly used method for decreasing one or two
stitches in a row is working two or three stitches
together as one stitch
Try out these decreases in double half treble and
treble crochet so you will be familiar with them
when you first come across them in your crochet
pattern Similar decreases can be worked for most
simple stitch patterns and your instructions will
guide you through these when they are needed
Single dc decrease (dc2tog)
Working two double crochet stitches together is a
neater way to decrease one stitch than simply
missing a stitch
To work dc2tog insert the hook in the next stitch
yrh and draw a loop through then draw a loop
through the next stitch in the same way There are
now 3 loops on the hook Yrh and draw through all
3 loops on the hook to complete the single
decrease
Double dc decrease (dc3tog)
To decrease two stitches at once in a double crochet
insert hook in the next stitch yrh and draw a loop
through then draw a loop through each of the next
2 sti tches in the same way You now have 4 loops on
the hook Yrh and draw through all 4 loops on thehook to complete the double decrease
Single htr decrease (htr2tog)
The principal for working htr2tog is the same as for
dc2tog
To work htr2tog yrh and insert the hook in the
next stitch yrh and draw a loop through then do
the same in the next stitch You now have 5 loops
on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through all 5
loops on the hook to complete the single decrease
Double htr decrease (htr3tog)
To decrease two stitches at once in half treble
crochet yrh and insert the hook in the next stitch
yrh and draw a loop through then do the same in
each of the next 2 stitches You now have 7 loops
on the hook Yrh and draw through all 7 loops on
the hook to complete the double decrease

half treble crochet-the next two stitches are worked
up to the last yrh and then drawn together with one
final yrh To work tr2tog yrh and insert the hook

and draw through the first 2 loops on the hook
then do the same in the next stitch You now have

all 3 loops on the hook to complete the single
decrease
Double tr decrease (tr2tog)
To decrease two stitches at once in treble crochet
you work three stitches together just as for double
crochet and half treble crochet
To work tr3togyrh and insert the hook in the nextstitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh and draw
through the first 2 loops on the hook then do the
same in each of the next 2 stitches You now have 4
loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through all
4 loops on the hook to complete the double
decrease
of a row
When working decreases in treble crochet at the
beginning of a row remember that the three turning
chains at the beginning of the row will count as
your first treble crochet stitch Miss the stitch at the
base of your turning chain then work the decrease
over the next two or three stitches as normal
To decrease at the end of a row of treble crochet
you will need to work your decrease and then work
a treble crochet into the top of the turning chain
so you need to count backwards from the edge of
the fabric to work out where to start your decrease

of stitches you have left after a treble crochet
decrease to make sure you decreased by correct
number of stitches
Remember that the basic rules of treble crochet
stitches (and taller stitches) will still apply even when
working decreases - always miss the first stitch at the
beginning of the row and always work the last stitch
into the top of the turning row If there is an
exception to this rule your pattern will spell it out
clearly
A multi-stitch decrease at the end of row
You may need to decrease several stitches at once when shaping a garment to
create a sharp decrease instead of a sloped or curved one This type of multi-
stitch decrease occurs for example at the beginning of armhole shaping and
sleeve head shaping
Although the technique is the same for all stitches on tall stitches it creates an
abrupt right angle while on shorter stitches such as double crochet and half
treble crochet it can be integrated into a gentle curve

which the required number of stitches to decrease are still left unworked on
the row as shown then turn the work

On some garments the multi-stitch decrease needs to be worked in the same
row on both side edges of the garment piece - to create symmetry If this is the
case you will need to know how to work a multi-stitch decrease at the
beginning of the row as well
Because a slip stitch is very short it is useful for moving the hook along the
row without adding any height This is exactly what you do to decrease a large
number of stitches at the beginning of a row Work one turning chain then for
a right-angled decrease work in slip stitch over the number of stitches you want
to decrease and into the position for the first stitch of the row then work the
rest of the row in the usual pattern sti tch For a gentler curved decrease on half
treble crochet you can work a double crochet in the st itch before the first half
treble of the new row
It may be necessary to increase many stitches at the edge of a piece for exampleto start sleeves that are worked as one piece with the body of the garment
which are called lsquointegral sleeversquo
To create this right-angled increase you work extra chains - one for each stitch
required For symmetry the chains needed for each sleeve on the back of the
garment (or on the front of a pullover) need to be made on the same row as
explained here
A multi stitch increase at each end of a row
1 So that the multi-increases can be worked at both ends of the same rowprepare the chains for the increase at the end of the row on the row before the
increase row Begin this row (which will be the end of the increase row) by
working the same number of chains as needed for the number of stitches to be
increased plus an extra chain for the turning chain
Work one slip stitch into the second chain for the hook then one slip stitch
into each of the remaining chains and continue across the row as usual as shown
Because the slip stitches are very short they provide the perfect neutral base for
the increased stitches on the next row
2 At the beginning of the increase row again work the same number of chainsas the number of new stitches you need For the turning chain work the
number of chains required for the particular stitch you are using for the
garment-one chain for the double crochet being worked here Work across the
added chains then across the row to the slip stitches at the end For the extra
stitches needed at the end of the row work in the pattern stitch across the slip
stitches prepared at the beginning of the last row

1 Make a foundation chain of the desired length- about 20 chains is sufficient
You will be working the first stitch into the SECOND chain from the hook as
you did for making a slip stitch
2 Holding the foundation chain as shown insert the hook onto the second
chain from hook
3 Catch the yarn with the hook and wrap it around the hook (yrh) in the
usual way
4 Dr aw the yarn through the chain so that there are now two loops on the
hook
5Wrap the yarn around the hook again

HOW TO
Crochet the basicsPhotography by John Heseltine
Instructions by Emma Seddon
The next few pages show the simple instructions on how to complete the basic crochet stitches and garment shaping to help you to complete the designsfeatured in this brochure We hope that if you have not attempted crochet before these simple instructions will encourage you to pick up a crochet hook
Once mastered you will discover that crochet is one of the more enjoyable crafts and the possibilities of creating beautiful patterns are endless
A crochet slip stitch is the shortest of the basic crochet stitches As slip stitch is
rarely used on its own to make a fabric it is only necessary to learn how to
work it along a foundation chain for the time being Learning it is good practise
for working into the foundation chain
1 Make a foundation chain of the desired length You will be working the first
stitch into the SECOND chain from the hook (see arrow)
2 Holding the foundation chain between the thumb and forefinger of the yarn
hand insert the hook through the chain under one top loop of the second
chain from the hook Catch the ball end of the yarn with the hook so that it
wraps the yarn anticlockwise around it
3 Draw the yarn around the hook through the chain and then through the
loop on the hook You have just made your first slip stitch Work one slip stitchinto each remaining chain of the foundation chain in the same way

DOUBLE TREBLE CROCHET (dtr) (tr - US)
7212019 Summer Crochet
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullsummer-crochet 2132
Garment decreases can be worked at the beginning
andor end of a row a stitch or two in from each
edge or in the middle of a row The most
commonly used method for decreasing one or two
stitches in a row is working two or three stitches
together as one stitch
Try out these decreases in double half treble and
treble crochet so you will be familiar with them
when you first come across them in your crochet
pattern Similar decreases can be worked for most
simple stitch patterns and your instructions will
guide you through these when they are needed
Single dc decrease (dc2tog)
Working two double crochet stitches together is a
neater way to decrease one stitch than simply
missing a stitch
To work dc2tog insert the hook in the next stitch
yrh and draw a loop through then draw a loop
through the next stitch in the same way There are
now 3 loops on the hook Yrh and draw through all
3 loops on the hook to complete the single
decrease
Double dc decrease (dc3tog)
To decrease two stitches at once in a double crochet
insert hook in the next stitch yrh and draw a loop
through then draw a loop through each of the next
2 sti tches in the same way You now have 4 loops on
the hook Yrh and draw through all 4 loops on thehook to complete the double decrease
Single htr decrease (htr2tog)
The principal for working htr2tog is the same as for
dc2tog
To work htr2tog yrh and insert the hook in the
next stitch yrh and draw a loop through then do
the same in the next stitch You now have 5 loops
on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through all 5
loops on the hook to complete the single decrease
Double htr decrease (htr3tog)
To decrease two stitches at once in half treble
crochet yrh and insert the hook in the next stitch
yrh and draw a loop through then do the same in
each of the next 2 stitches You now have 7 loops
on the hook Yrh and draw through all 7 loops on
the hook to complete the double decrease
37
Decreasing one stitch in half trebles (htr2tog)
Decreasing one stitch in double crochet (dc2tog)
1 Make a fiundation chain of the required length You will be working the first
stitch into the fifth chain from the hook (see arrow)
2 Wrap the yarn twice around the hook then insert the hook into the fifth
chain from the hook and wrap the yarn around the hook again
3 Draw a loop through the chain There are four loops on the hook Wrapthe yarn around the hookhellip
4 hellipand draw a loop through the first two loops on the hook Repeat from
to until there is only one loop on left on the hook This completes the first
stitch Work one stitch into each remaining chain in the same way

The principal for working two stitches together in
treble crochet is the same as for double crochet and
half treble crochet-the next two stitches are worked
up to the last yrh and then drawn together with one
final yrh To work tr2tog yrh and insert the hook
in the next stitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh
and draw through the first 2 loops on the hook
then do the same in the next stitch You now have
3 loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through
all 3 loops on the hook to complete the single
decrease
Double tr decrease (tr2tog)
To decrease two stitches at once in treble crochet
you work three stitches together just as for double
crochet and half treble crochet
To work tr3togyrh and insert the hook in the nextstitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh and draw
through the first 2 loops on the hook then do the
same in each of the next 2 stitches You now have 4
loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through all
4 loops on the hook to complete the double
decrease
of a row
When working decreases in treble crochet at the
beginning of a row remember that the three turning
chains at the beginning of the row will count as
your first treble crochet stitch Miss the stitch at the
base of your turning chain then work the decrease
over the next two or three stitches as normal
To decrease at the end of a row of treble crochet
you will need to work your decrease and then work
a treble crochet into the top of the turning chain
so you need to count backwards from the edge of
the fabric to work out where to start your decrease
stitch It is especially important to count the number
of stitches you have left after a treble crochet
decrease to make sure you decreased by correct
number of stitches
Remember that the basic rules of treble crochet
stitches (and taller stitches) will still apply even when
working decreases - always miss the first stitch at the
beginning of the row and always work the last stitch
into the top of the turning row If there is an
exception to this rule your pattern will spell it out
clearly
A multi-stitch decrease at the end of row
You may need to decrease several stitches at once when shaping a garment to
create a sharp decrease instead of a sloped or curved one This type of multi-
stitch decrease occurs for example at the beginning of armhole shaping and
sleeve head shaping
Although the technique is the same for all stitches on tall stitches it creates an
abrupt right angle while on shorter stitches such as double crochet and half
treble crochet it can be integrated into a gentle curve
1 To decrease several stitches at the end of a row simply work to the point at
which the required number of stitches to decrease are still left unworked on
the row as shown then turn the work
2 On the following row work the turning chain then complete the row in
the pattern stitch as normal

DOUBLE TREBLE CROCHET (dtr) (tr - US)
7212019 Summer Crochet
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullsummer-crochet 2132
Garment decreases can be worked at the beginning
andor end of a row a stitch or two in from each
edge or in the middle of a row The most
commonly used method for decreasing one or two
stitches in a row is working two or three stitches
together as one stitch
Try out these decreases in double half treble and
treble crochet so you will be familiar with them
when you first come across them in your crochet
pattern Similar decreases can be worked for most
simple stitch patterns and your instructions will
guide you through these when they are needed
Single dc decrease (dc2tog)
Working two double crochet stitches together is a
neater way to decrease one stitch than simply
missing a stitch
To work dc2tog insert the hook in the next stitch
yrh and draw a loop through then draw a loop
through the next stitch in the same way There are
now 3 loops on the hook Yrh and draw through all
3 loops on the hook to complete the single
decrease
Double dc decrease (dc3tog)
To decrease two stitches at once in a double crochet
insert hook in the next stitch yrh and draw a loop
through then draw a loop through each of the next
2 sti tches in the same way You now have 4 loops on
the hook Yrh and draw through all 4 loops on thehook to complete the double decrease
Single htr decrease (htr2tog)
The principal for working htr2tog is the same as for
dc2tog
To work htr2tog yrh and insert the hook in the
next stitch yrh and draw a loop through then do
the same in the next stitch You now have 5 loops
on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through all 5
loops on the hook to complete the single decrease
Double htr decrease (htr3tog)
To decrease two stitches at once in half treble
crochet yrh and insert the hook in the next stitch
yrh and draw a loop through then do the same in
each of the next 2 stitches You now have 7 loops
on the hook Yrh and draw through all 7 loops on
the hook to complete the double decrease
37
Decreasing one stitch in half trebles (htr2tog)
Decreasing one stitch in double crochet (dc2tog)
1 Make a fiundation chain of the required length You will be working the first
stitch into the fifth chain from the hook (see arrow)
2 Wrap the yarn twice around the hook then insert the hook into the fifth
chain from the hook and wrap the yarn around the hook again
3 Draw a loop through the chain There are four loops on the hook Wrapthe yarn around the hookhellip
4 hellipand draw a loop through the first two loops on the hook Repeat from
to until there is only one loop on left on the hook This completes the first
stitch Work one stitch into each remaining chain in the same way

The principal for working two stitches together in
treble crochet is the same as for double crochet and
half treble crochet-the next two stitches are worked
up to the last yrh and then drawn together with one
final yrh To work tr2tog yrh and insert the hook
in the next stitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh
and draw through the first 2 loops on the hook
then do the same in the next stitch You now have
3 loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through
all 3 loops on the hook to complete the single
decrease
Double tr decrease (tr2tog)
To decrease two stitches at once in treble crochet
you work three stitches together just as for double
crochet and half treble crochet
To work tr3togyrh and insert the hook in the nextstitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh and draw
through the first 2 loops on the hook then do the
same in each of the next 2 stitches You now have 4
loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through all
4 loops on the hook to complete the double
decrease
of a row
When working decreases in treble crochet at the
beginning of a row remember that the three turning
chains at the beginning of the row will count as
your first treble crochet stitch Miss the stitch at the
base of your turning chain then work the decrease
over the next two or three stitches as normal
To decrease at the end of a row of treble crochet
you will need to work your decrease and then work
a treble crochet into the top of the turning chain
so you need to count backwards from the edge of
the fabric to work out where to start your decrease
stitch It is especially important to count the number
of stitches you have left after a treble crochet
decrease to make sure you decreased by correct
number of stitches
Remember that the basic rules of treble crochet
stitches (and taller stitches) will still apply even when
working decreases - always miss the first stitch at the
beginning of the row and always work the last stitch
into the top of the turning row If there is an
exception to this rule your pattern will spell it out
clearly
A multi-stitch decrease at the end of row
You may need to decrease several stitches at once when shaping a garment to
create a sharp decrease instead of a sloped or curved one This type of multi-
stitch decrease occurs for example at the beginning of armhole shaping and
sleeve head shaping
Although the technique is the same for all stitches on tall stitches it creates an
abrupt right angle while on shorter stitches such as double crochet and half
treble crochet it can be integrated into a gentle curve
1 To decrease several stitches at the end of a row simply work to the point at
which the required number of stitches to decrease are still left unworked on
the row as shown then turn the work
2 On the following row work the turning chain then complete the row in
the pattern stitch as normal
Decreasing one stitch in treble crochet (tr2tog)
Decreasing two stitches in treble crochet (tr3tog)

On some garments the multi-stitch decrease needs to be worked in the same
row on both side edges of the garment piece - to create symmetry If this is the
case you will need to know how to work a multi-stitch decrease at the
beginning of the row as well
Because a slip stitch is very short it is useful for moving the hook along the
row without adding any height This is exactly what you do to decrease a large
number of stitches at the beginning of a row Work one turning chain then for
a right-angled decrease work in slip stitch over the number of stitches you want
to decrease and into the position for the first stitch of the row then work the
rest of the row in the usual pattern sti tch For a gentler curved decrease on half
treble crochet you can work a double crochet in the st itch before the first half
treble of the new row
It may be necessary to increase many stitches at the edge of a piece for exampleto start sleeves that are worked as one piece with the body of the garment
which are called lsquointegral sleeversquo
To create this right-angled increase you work extra chains - one for each stitch
required For symmetry the chains needed for each sleeve on the back of the
garment (or on the front of a pullover) need to be made on the same row as
explained here
A multi stitch increase at each end of a row
1 So that the multi-increases can be worked at both ends of the same rowprepare the chains for the increase at the end of the row on the row before the
increase row Begin this row (which will be the end of the increase row) by
working the same number of chains as needed for the number of stitches to be
increased plus an extra chain for the turning chain
Work one slip stitch into the second chain for the hook then one slip stitch
into each of the remaining chains and continue across the row as usual as shown
Because the slip stitches are very short they provide the perfect neutral base for
the increased stitches on the next row
2 At the beginning of the increase row again work the same number of chainsas the number of new stitches you need For the turning chain work the
number of chains required for the particular stitch you are using for the
garment-one chain for the double crochet being worked here Work across the
added chains then across the row to the slip stitches at the end For the extra
stitches needed at the end of the row work in the pattern stitch across the slip
stitches prepared at the beginning of the last row

The principal for working two stitches together in
treble crochet is the same as for double crochet and
half treble crochet-the next two stitches are worked
up to the last yrh and then drawn together with one
final yrh To work tr2tog yrh and insert the hook
in the next stitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh
and draw through the first 2 loops on the hook
then do the same in the next stitch You now have
3 loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through
all 3 loops on the hook to complete the single
decrease
Double tr decrease (tr2tog)
To decrease two stitches at once in treble crochet
you work three stitches together just as for double
crochet and half treble crochet
To work tr3togyrh and insert the hook in the nextstitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh and draw
through the first 2 loops on the hook then do the
same in each of the next 2 stitches You now have 4
loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through all
4 loops on the hook to complete the double
decrease
of a row
When working decreases in treble crochet at the
beginning of a row remember that the three turning
chains at the beginning of the row will count as
your first treble crochet stitch Miss the stitch at the
base of your turning chain then work the decrease
over the next two or three stitches as normal
To decrease at the end of a row of treble crochet
you will need to work your decrease and then work
a treble crochet into the top of the turning chain
so you need to count backwards from the edge of
the fabric to work out where to start your decrease
stitch It is especially important to count the number
of stitches you have left after a treble crochet
decrease to make sure you decreased by correct
number of stitches
Remember that the basic rules of treble crochet
stitches (and taller stitches) will still apply even when
working decreases - always miss the first stitch at the
beginning of the row and always work the last stitch
into the top of the turning row If there is an
exception to this rule your pattern will spell it out
clearly
A multi-stitch decrease at the end of row
You may need to decrease several stitches at once when shaping a garment to
create a sharp decrease instead of a sloped or curved one This type of multi-
stitch decrease occurs for example at the beginning of armhole shaping and
sleeve head shaping
Although the technique is the same for all stitches on tall stitches it creates an
abrupt right angle while on shorter stitches such as double crochet and half
treble crochet it can be integrated into a gentle curve
1 To decrease several stitches at the end of a row simply work to the point at
which the required number of stitches to decrease are still left unworked on
the row as shown then turn the work
2 On the following row work the turning chain then complete the row in
the pattern stitch as normal

On some garments the multi-stitch decrease needs to be worked in the same
row on both side edges of the garment piece - to create symmetry If this is the
case you will need to know how to work a multi-stitch decrease at the
beginning of the row as well
Because a slip stitch is very short it is useful for moving the hook along the
row without adding any height This is exactly what you do to decrease a large
number of stitches at the beginning of a row Work one turning chain then for
a right-angled decrease work in slip stitch over the number of stitches you want
to decrease and into the position for the first stitch of the row then work the
rest of the row in the usual pattern sti tch For a gentler curved decrease on half
treble crochet you can work a double crochet in the st itch before the first half
treble of the new row
It may be necessary to increase many stitches at the edge of a piece for exampleto start sleeves that are worked as one piece with the body of the garment
which are called lsquointegral sleeversquo
To create this right-angled increase you work extra chains - one for each stitch
required For symmetry the chains needed for each sleeve on the back of the
garment (or on the front of a pullover) need to be made on the same row as
explained here
A multi stitch increase at each end of a row
1 So that the multi-increases can be worked at both ends of the same rowprepare the chains for the increase at the end of the row on the row before the
increase row Begin this row (which will be the end of the increase row) by
working the same number of chains as needed for the number of stitches to be
increased plus an extra chain for the turning chain
Work one slip stitch into the second chain for the hook then one slip stitch
into each of the remaining chains and continue across the row as usual as shown
Because the slip stitches are very short they provide the perfect neutral base for
the increased stitches on the next row
2 At the beginning of the increase row again work the same number of chainsas the number of new stitches you need For the turning chain work the
number of chains required for the particular stitch you are using for the
garment-one chain for the double crochet being worked here Work across the
added chains then across the row to the slip stitches at the end For the extra
stitches needed at the end of the row work in the pattern stitch across the slip
stitches prepared at the beginning of the last row

Garment decreases can be worked at the beginning
andor end of a row a stitch or two in from each
edge or in the middle of a row The most
commonly used method for decreasing one or two
stitches in a row is working two or three stitches
together as one stitch
Try out these decreases in double half treble and
treble crochet so you will be familiar with them
when you first come across them in your crochet
pattern Similar decreases can be worked for most
simple stitch patterns and your instructions will
guide you through these when they are needed
Single dc decrease (dc2tog)
Working two double crochet stitches together is a
neater way to decrease one stitch than simply
missing a stitch
To work dc2tog insert the hook in the next stitch
yrh and draw a loop through then draw a loop
through the next stitch in the same way There are
now 3 loops on the hook Yrh and draw through all
3 loops on the hook to complete the single
decrease
Double dc decrease (dc3tog)
To decrease two stitches at once in a double crochet
insert hook in the next stitch yrh and draw a loop
through then draw a loop through each of the next
2 sti tches in the same way You now have 4 loops on
the hook Yrh and draw through all 4 loops on thehook to complete the double decrease
Single htr decrease (htr2tog)
The principal for working htr2tog is the same as for
dc2tog
To work htr2tog yrh and insert the hook in the
next stitch yrh and draw a loop through then do
the same in the next stitch You now have 5 loops
on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through all 5
loops on the hook to complete the single decrease
Double htr decrease (htr3tog)
To decrease two stitches at once in half treble
crochet yrh and insert the hook in the next stitch
yrh and draw a loop through then do the same in
each of the next 2 stitches You now have 7 loops
on the hook Yrh and draw through all 7 loops on
the hook to complete the double decrease
37
Decreasing one stitch in half trebles (htr2tog)
Decreasing one stitch in double crochet (dc2tog)
1 Make a fiundation chain of the required length You will be working the first
stitch into the fifth chain from the hook (see arrow)
2 Wrap the yarn twice around the hook then insert the hook into the fifth
chain from the hook and wrap the yarn around the hook again
3 Draw a loop through the chain There are four loops on the hook Wrapthe yarn around the hookhellip
4 hellipand draw a loop through the first two loops on the hook Repeat from
to until there is only one loop on left on the hook This completes the first
stitch Work one stitch into each remaining chain in the same way

The principal for working two stitches together in
treble crochet is the same as for double crochet and
half treble crochet-the next two stitches are worked
up to the last yrh and then drawn together with one
final yrh To work tr2tog yrh and insert the hook
in the next stitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh
and draw through the first 2 loops on the hook
then do the same in the next stitch You now have
3 loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through
all 3 loops on the hook to complete the single
decrease
Double tr decrease (tr2tog)
To decrease two stitches at once in treble crochet
you work three stitches together just as for double
crochet and half treble crochet
To work tr3togyrh and insert the hook in the nextstitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh and draw
through the first 2 loops on the hook then do the
same in each of the next 2 stitches You now have 4
loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through all
4 loops on the hook to complete the double
decrease
of a row
When working decreases in treble crochet at the
beginning of a row remember that the three turning
chains at the beginning of the row will count as
your first treble crochet stitch Miss the stitch at the
base of your turning chain then work the decrease
over the next two or three stitches as normal
To decrease at the end of a row of treble crochet
you will need to work your decrease and then work
a treble crochet into the top of the turning chain
so you need to count backwards from the edge of
the fabric to work out where to start your decrease
stitch It is especially important to count the number
of stitches you have left after a treble crochet
decrease to make sure you decreased by correct
number of stitches
Remember that the basic rules of treble crochet
stitches (and taller stitches) will still apply even when
working decreases - always miss the first stitch at the
beginning of the row and always work the last stitch
into the top of the turning row If there is an
exception to this rule your pattern will spell it out
clearly
A multi-stitch decrease at the end of row
You may need to decrease several stitches at once when shaping a garment to
create a sharp decrease instead of a sloped or curved one This type of multi-
stitch decrease occurs for example at the beginning of armhole shaping and
sleeve head shaping
Although the technique is the same for all stitches on tall stitches it creates an
abrupt right angle while on shorter stitches such as double crochet and half
treble crochet it can be integrated into a gentle curve
1 To decrease several stitches at the end of a row simply work to the point at
which the required number of stitches to decrease are still left unworked on
the row as shown then turn the work
2 On the following row work the turning chain then complete the row in
the pattern stitch as normal

On some garments the multi-stitch decrease needs to be worked in the same
row on both side edges of the garment piece - to create symmetry If this is the
case you will need to know how to work a multi-stitch decrease at the
beginning of the row as well
Because a slip stitch is very short it is useful for moving the hook along the
row without adding any height This is exactly what you do to decrease a large
number of stitches at the beginning of a row Work one turning chain then for
a right-angled decrease work in slip stitch over the number of stitches you want
to decrease and into the position for the first stitch of the row then work the
rest of the row in the usual pattern sti tch For a gentler curved decrease on half
treble crochet you can work a double crochet in the st itch before the first half
treble of the new row
It may be necessary to increase many stitches at the edge of a piece for exampleto start sleeves that are worked as one piece with the body of the garment
which are called lsquointegral sleeversquo
To create this right-angled increase you work extra chains - one for each stitch
required For symmetry the chains needed for each sleeve on the back of the
garment (or on the front of a pullover) need to be made on the same row as
explained here
A multi stitch increase at each end of a row
1 So that the multi-increases can be worked at both ends of the same rowprepare the chains for the increase at the end of the row on the row before the
increase row Begin this row (which will be the end of the increase row) by
working the same number of chains as needed for the number of stitches to be
increased plus an extra chain for the turning chain
Work one slip stitch into the second chain for the hook then one slip stitch
into each of the remaining chains and continue across the row as usual as shown
Because the slip stitches are very short they provide the perfect neutral base for
the increased stitches on the next row
2 At the beginning of the increase row again work the same number of chainsas the number of new stitches you need For the turning chain work the
number of chains required for the particular stitch you are using for the
garment-one chain for the double crochet being worked here Work across the
added chains then across the row to the slip stitches at the end For the extra
stitches needed at the end of the row work in the pattern stitch across the slip
stitches prepared at the beginning of the last row

The principal for working two stitches together in
treble crochet is the same as for double crochet and
half treble crochet-the next two stitches are worked
up to the last yrh and then drawn together with one
final yrh To work tr2tog yrh and insert the hook
in the next stitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh
and draw through the first 2 loops on the hook
then do the same in the next stitch You now have
3 loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through
all 3 loops on the hook to complete the single
decrease
Double tr decrease (tr2tog)
To decrease two stitches at once in treble crochet
you work three stitches together just as for double
crochet and half treble crochet
To work tr3togyrh and insert the hook in the nextstitch yrh and draw a loop through yrh and draw
through the first 2 loops on the hook then do the
same in each of the next 2 stitches You now have 4
loops on the hook Yrh and draw a loop through all
4 loops on the hook to complete the double
decrease
of a row
When working decreases in treble crochet at the
beginning of a row remember that the three turning
chains at the beginning of the row will count as
your first treble crochet stitch Miss the stitch at the
base of your turning chain then work the decrease
over the next two or three stitches as normal
To decrease at the end of a row of treble crochet
you will need to work your decrease and then work
a treble crochet into the top of the turning chain
so you need to count backwards from the edge of
the fabric to work out where to start your decrease
stitch It is especially important to count the number
of stitches you have left after a treble crochet
decrease to make sure you decreased by correct
number of stitches
Remember that the basic rules of treble crochet
stitches (and taller stitches) will still apply even when
working decreases - always miss the first stitch at the
beginning of the row and always work the last stitch
into the top of the turning row If there is an
exception to this rule your pattern will spell it out
clearly
A multi-stitch decrease at the end of row
You may need to decrease several stitches at once when shaping a garment to
create a sharp decrease instead of a sloped or curved one This type of multi-
stitch decrease occurs for example at the beginning of armhole shaping and
sleeve head shaping
Although the technique is the same for all stitches on tall stitches it creates an
abrupt right angle while on shorter stitches such as double crochet and half
treble crochet it can be integrated into a gentle curve
1 To decrease several stitches at the end of a row simply work to the point at
which the required number of stitches to decrease are still left unworked on
the row as shown then turn the work
2 On the following row work the turning chain then complete the row in
the pattern stitch as normal
Decreasing one stitch in treble crochet (tr2tog)
Decreasing two stitches in treble crochet (tr3tog)
Starting the multi-stitch decrease at the end of a row
Working the next row after the multi-stitch decrease

On some garments the multi-stitch decrease needs to be worked in the same
row on both side edges of the garment piece - to create symmetry If this is the
case you will need to know how to work a multi-stitch decrease at the
beginning of the row as well
Because a slip stitch is very short it is useful for moving the hook along the
row without adding any height This is exactly what you do to decrease a large
number of stitches at the beginning of a row Work one turning chain then for
a right-angled decrease work in slip stitch over the number of stitches you want
to decrease and into the position for the first stitch of the row then work the
rest of the row in the usual pattern sti tch For a gentler curved decrease on half
treble crochet you can work a double crochet in the st itch before the first half
treble of the new row
It may be necessary to increase many stitches at the edge of a piece for exampleto start sleeves that are worked as one piece with the body of the garment
which are called lsquointegral sleeversquo
To create this right-angled increase you work extra chains - one for each stitch
required For symmetry the chains needed for each sleeve on the back of the
garment (or on the front of a pullover) need to be made on the same row as
explained here
A multi stitch increase at each end of a row
1 So that the multi-increases can be worked at both ends of the same rowprepare the chains for the increase at the end of the row on the row before the
increase row Begin this row (which will be the end of the increase row) by
working the same number of chains as needed for the number of stitches to be
increased plus an extra chain for the turning chain
Work one slip stitch into the second chain for the hook then one slip stitch
into each of the remaining chains and continue across the row as usual as shown
Because the slip stitches are very short they provide the perfect neutral base for
the increased stitches on the next row
2 At the beginning of the increase row again work the same number of chainsas the number of new stitches you need For the turning chain work the
number of chains required for the particular stitch you are using for the
garment-one chain for the double crochet being worked here Work across the
added chains then across the row to the slip stitches at the end For the extra
stitches needed at the end of the row work in the pattern stitch across the slip
stitches prepared at the beginning of the last row
