Detailed explanation
The abbreviation “tr” (and historically “trc”) indicates treble crochet. Because terminology differs by region, verify the pattern’s origin: in US terms, a treble crochet is a tall stitch requiring two initial yarn wraps. In UK terms, “tr” is equivalent to a US double crochet, whereas the US treble corresponds to a UK double treble.
