The last fundamental crochet stitch is the Treble or Triple Crochet. It is the tallest of all the fundamental crochet stitches, offering a unique texture and height that can dramatically alter the appearance of your crochet project. This stitch also has the most number of yarn overs and loops on the crochet hook than single, half double, and double crochet stitches. The image below shows eight rows of the four different crochet stitches with the same yarn and crochet hook size, providing a clear comparison of how each stitch varies in height and density, and enabling you to visualize the effects of incorporating the Treble Crochet stitch into a crochet project.

The Treble Crochet stitch creates the most open, least dense and drapey fabric compared to the other fundamental crochet stitches. It can be used for summer tops and cardigans, market bags, or lightweight cowls and scarves.
