treble

Description

Abbreviation for treble crochet. In US terminology, this represents a tall stitch made with two yarn overs; in UK terminology, it refers to the equivalent of a US double crochet.

Detailed explanation

The abbreviation “tr” denotes treble crochet, sometimes referred to as triple crochet. It creates a tall, open stitch structure that adds height quickly. Since “tr” refers to different stitches depending on the region, verify the pattern’s origin: a US treble is equivalent to a UK double treble, while a UK treble matches a US double crochet.
