Crochet Trinity Stitch Tutorial – Easy & Beginner-Friendly
The Crochet Trinity Stitch is a beautiful and textured stitch that gives the appearance of intricate design while being relatively easy to master. This stitch is primarily worked using single crochet, making it accessible for beginners yet visually appealing enough for advanced projects. Let's explore the basics of the Trinity Stitch!

Recommended Materials
In this tutorial, I use LionBrand Yarn Cotton24/7. I find that the texture stands out more with cotton yarn, and its bright colors are beneficial during tutorials. For this yarn I use a 4mm/G-6 crochet hook.
However, if you're new to crocheting and just practicing, I highly recommend using any solid color acrylic yarn that works with a 5mm/H-8 hook size.
Below is the crochet chart for the Trinity Stitch. It's an excellent method for learning to read crochet charts, and understanding written instructions can sometimes be beneficial.
DIRECTIONS
For the Trinity stitch you start with any even number of the stitches.
Insert your hook into the second ch from the hook and make SC (when you insert your hook into the ch, YO (pic 1), pull up a loop, then you have two loops on your hook, YO again (pic 2) and pull up a loop through two loops, your SC is done (pic 3)).
Then you make SC3tog starting in the same ch you made your SC. The picture shows where you will insert your hook.
How to crochet SC3tog = insert the hook into the same stitch where you made your SC, YO (pic 1) pull up a loop (2 loops on your hook, pic 2), insert the hook into the next ch and pull up a loop (3 loops on your hook, pic 3) then you insert the hook into the next stitch and pull up a loop. Now you should have 4 loops on your hook (pic 4), YO and pull up a loop through all 4 loops (pic 5) and then ch 1 (pic 6).
You repeat this Trinity stitch until you get 2 ch left. Make SC3tog starting in the same stitch (after SC3tog you always make ch 1 until you have 2 ch left at the end of the row, follow the next step!)
When you are at the end of the row, you should have 2 ch left. Make your last Trinity Stitch and DON"T ch 1! Instead make SC into the last stitch (the same one as your last step of Trinity Stitch).
Ch 1 and turn your project.
Now you repeat your first row for the entire project. You DON"T make ch 1 between sts only at the beginning of the row (between SC and first SC3tog) and at the end of the row (between 3SCtog and SC).
