Step by Step Instructions
Let’s get started
Tension is very important, the yarn must be able to glide smoothly from your left hand to the working project, not too tight not too lose.
Step 1: Start off with a slipknot.
Prepare your yarn tensions on your left hand (right either whichever is your orientation).
Step 2: Chain 14.
Counting from the last loop on the hook (don’t count the loop on the hook).
Step 3: Yarn over twice.
Step 4: Insert hook into the top loop of the fifth chain.
Step 5: Yarn over and pull up a loop.
Check: Now there are 4 loops on your hook.
Step 6: Yarn over, and pull the yarn through two loops.
Check: Now there are 3 loops on your hook.
Step 7: Yarn over, and pull the yarn through two loops.
Check: Now there are 2 loops on your hook.
Step 7: Yarn over, and pull the yarn through last two loops.
You have just made your first treble crochet.
Step 8: Yarn over and insert hook into the top loop of the next chain
Repeat Steps 5 to 8 all the way across your foundation chain.
Starting off the next row
Step 9: To start the next row, chain 4.
This will count as your first treble crochet. Skip the next stitch as it belong to the turning chains.
Step 10: Yarn over twice. Insert hook into the next stitch.

Repeat steps 10 to 14 all the way across to finish the row.
And there you have it. You should have 9 proper treble crochet and 1 turning chain, a total of 10 stitches for each row.
