The double treble crochet (or treble crochet as it's known in US terminology, abbreviated as tr) is your next stitch to master.
Tall and lofty, the double treble (dtr) crochet stitch is created using a double yarn over when you begin, which will produce four loops on your crochet hook. Pull your yarn through two loops at a time, three times to complete your stitch.

What is the double treble crochet stitch?
The double treble crochet stitch is one stitch taller than a treble crochet. Because it’s a taller stitch, it has a more dexterous and agile quality that can be moulded into all kinds of pretty shapes and designs, from crocheted flowers to statement lace garments. It looks fabulous in summer shawls, beach bags and accessories.
