Diagonal Trip Crochet Stitch Tutorial

Learn how to crochet the Diagonal Trip Stitch.

The texture on this stitch is created by combining tall crochet stitches with short crochet stitches, in this case single crochet and treble crochet. I promise its not tricky. I think if you do some advance planning you could make some really neat patterns using this technique.

Materials

• 135 yds #4/worsted weight yarn
• 5.5mm crochet hook
• scissors
• needle to weave in ends

Gauge

• Gauge: 6 sts x 7 rows = 2 in
• Size: 12 in x 12 in after border

Abbreviations

• Ch(s): chain(s)
• Sc: single crochet
• Tr: treble crochet

Notes

• Ch 1 does not count as a stitch
• Follow the pattern for your square and add sc border rounds to make it 12 inches.
• If your square is too tall, its ok to remove rows until it is square.
• this stitch uses multiple of 6 + 3 more chs
