The trinity stitch can change a ball of yarn into a visual treat.
The trinity stitch in crochet looks like an inverted "W" when made correctly. The cloth that is made is full of texture and visual appeal. Multiplying the stitch for a pattern means repeating the stitch over again, in this case four times. This repetitive use of the stitch is a great way to learn how to create the technique. Before long the stitch will become second nature as a beautiful piece of crochet will be formed.
Instructions
1. Chain 10 stitches. Work a single crochet in the second chain from the hook. You now have one single crochet and eight chains remaining.
2. Insert the crochet hook into the same chain in which you just made the single crochet. Draw up a loop. There are now two loops on the hook. Insert the hook into the next chain and draw up a loop. There are now three loops on the crochet hook. Insert the hook into the next chain and draw up a loop, giving you four loops on the hook. Wrap the yarn over your hook and pull it through all loops on the hook, creating the first trinity stitch. Chain one.
3. *Insert the hook into the same chain where you drew up your last loop. Draw up a loop. Insert the hook into the next chain and draw up a loop. Insert the hook into the next chain and draw up a loop. There are four loops on the crochet hook. Wrap the yarn around the hook and draw it through all four loops, creating the second trinity stitch. Chain one* and then repeat from * to * two more times, creating trinity stitches three and four. Work a single crochet in the same stitch as the last trinity stitch. The completed row has a total of ten stitches, including the chain-one stitches. Chain one and turn.
4. Create row two by single crocheting in the first stitch. Create the four trinity stitches as in row one, beginning by pulling up your first loop in the next stitch after the first single crochet, and then inserting the hook into the previous row's trinity stitches, single crochets and chain-one stitches. Complete each row with a single crochet in the same stitch as the final trinity stitch. Chain one and turn.
5. Multiply the pattern by 4 by multiplying the number of initial chains by 4. For example, chain 10 gives you four trinity stitches, chain 40 gives you 16 trinity stitches and chain 160 gives you 64 trinity stitches. Each 10-chain segment equals four trinity stitches.
