Hi Sonia,

I am interested in crochet and knitting. I am also sent to two private messages.

In crochet what is tr tog (triple together) can you explain.

Dhanyawath,

Ramamani

Ramamani,

Tr together is done to make a cluster like effect. it depends..sometimes it is 3 trebles together, or it is 4...to form a cluster.. it is done by keeping the last loop of the trebles u make without closing and then making another treble and then another if it is 3 and then closing the whole (by now u will have the 4 loops.) by pulling through all the 4 loops...
