Trinity Stitch Photo Tutorial

Hey there! One thing that I’ve always loved to do is learn new stitches! And believe it or not, there are tons of crochet stitches that I have never tried or even heard of. So, let’s start to explore some of our ample options. Today, I’d like to introduce you to the Trinity Stitch!

You may have seen other designers feature certain stitches in photo tutorials such as this. The concept is nothing new and I know that some of you cannot or don’t want to watch YouTube videos and find these photo tutorials helpful.

I also intend to make more YouTube videos covering all of the stitches I am featuring here starting this fall when my kids go back to school. My house is a little chaotic right now with them being home to attempt a whole lot of video making. So those of you who prefer video, they are coming, I promise! And I will update these posts as each video is released.

Back to the photo tutorial… The trinity stitch makes a very thick fabric with no holes like a lacy pattern would have. This stitch would be perfect for handbags, blankets, warm clothing, baby items, scarves and hats and so much more! The beautiful little star-like detail of the stitch is sure to draw attention and compliments!

For whatever type of project you choose, you will need to start out with a starting chain (foundation chain) with a multiple of 2 chains. Pretty easy, right? In this tutorial, I’ve used Red Heart Super Saver yarn in Lemon and an H/8 (5.00 mm) hook — these happen to be my favorite hooks!
