Note: The back of the foundation will look different in some pictures as for some I used the back bump, and others I went into the front chain. I did it twice, but used the pictures that came out best, so some are one and some are the other. The method is the same regardless of which manner you worked the foundation chain.
Instructions in brief: yo twice, insert hook into top two loops of stitch (unless otherwise specified), yo, pull through stitch (4 lps on hk), (yo, pull through 2 lps) 3 times
 1) make a foundation chain, yo twice (picture shows one yo) |
2) insert hook into 5th chain from hook (I used the
back hump method here) |
 3) yo, pull through (4 loops on hook) |
4) yo, pull through 2 loops (3 loops on hook) |
 5) yo, pull through 2 loops (2 loops on hook) |
Note:
same step but this is what it looks like if you go in through the front of
the chain |
6) yo, pull through
2 loops to complete one triple crochet (the 4
chains at the beginning count as a triple crochet also, so the picture
actually shows 2 triple crochets) |
7) continue making triples across row. Picture shows 12 triple crochets (that includes your beginning chain-4) first row completed
|
8) chain 4 to bring up to height
|
Row 2
 9) turn
|
 6) yo twice, insert hook in second stitch of row Q: Why in second stitch? A: Your chain-4 counts as a stitch |
 8) yo and pull through 2 loops (4 loops on hook) |
 9) yo, pull through 2 loops (3 loops on hook)
|
 10) yo, pull through 2 loops (2 loops on hook) |
 11) yo, pull through last 2 loops triple crochet complete |
 12) one stitch remaining on row 2 |
13) last stitch complete
|
Another version of the Triple Crochet is the Extended Triple Crochet. To
make the Extended Triple Crochet - yo twice, insert hook into top two loops
of stitch (unless otherwise specified) just as you do with the regular
stitch, then yo, pull through (4 lps on hk), yo, pull through ONE loop only
(still 4 lps on hk), then complete the stitch as normal
with (yo, pull through 2 lps) 3 times
