Tutorial for the Treble X Crochet Stitch
Row 1: Fsc your desired length using the multiple of 3+2, turn. For this swatch, I’m using Fsc 26. [26]
Or Row 1: If working from a foundation chain use 3+2, plus 1. For this swatch you would chain 27. Sc in 2nd ch from hook and all the way across ch 1, sc in each st across, turn [26]
Row 2: ch 4 {counts as a tr}, do not work in the st directly below the ch 4, *TrX over the next 3 sts; rep from * until 1 st remains, tr in the last st, turn [8 TrX, 2 tr]
Row 3: ch 1, sc in each st and ch-1 sp across, turn [26]
Rows 4-: Rep Rows 2-3 { until you reach your desired measurement}.
