DRAFT Version of Trinity Stitch Tutorial for Left-Handers

Many folks in the 63 Squares Crochet Along have had difficulty with the trinity stitch, which is pattern stitch #6 in the booklet 63 Easy-To-Crochet Pattern Stitches Combine to Make an Heirloom Afghan, Leisure Arts #555.
I quickly threw together this tutorial. I hope it helps! If you have questions please contact me.

Please note: Some patterns say to to do a row of sc first and then start the next row with the trinity stitch. The 63 Pattern Stitches booklet starts the Trinity Stitch on the first row, so that is what I have shown here.
But the same instructions I give would apply if you did a row of sc first — you would just be crocheting into the scs instead of the chains.

Chain desired length in multiples of two.

Single crochet in second chain from hook.

Insert hook in same chain (the same place you inserted your hook for the single crochet) and …

… draw up a loop. Now you have 2 loops on the hook.

Insert hook in next chain and draw up a loop.
Now you have 3 loops on the hook.

Again, insert hook in next chain and draw up a loop.
Now you have four loops on the hook.

Yarn over and …

… draw through all four loops on hook.

Chain one.

Insert hook in the same chain
(the same one you last drew up a loop in)
and draw up a loop.

Now you have 2 loops on the hook.

Insert hook in next chain and draw up a loop.
Now you have 3 loops on the hook.

Again, insert hook in next chain and draw up a loop.
You now have 4 loops on the hook.

Yarn over and …

… draw through all four loops on hook.

This is just another view of what it looks like
after you have drawn through all four loops.

Continue in the same manner to end of row:
*Ch 1, insert hook in same ch and draw up a loop, (insert hook in next ch and draw up a loop) twice, yarn over and draw through all four loops on hook* to end of row.
Sc in the last chain (this will be the same chain you last drew up a loop in).

The second and subsequent rows are worked the same, only you will be working into the stitches of the previous row rather than the starting chain.

Row 2: Sc in first st, insert hook in same st and draw up a loop, (insert hook in next st and draw up a loop) twice, yarn over and draw through all four loops on hook.
*Ch 1, insert hook in same st and draw up a loop, (insert hook in next st and draw up a loop) twice, yarn over and draw through all four loops on hook* to end of row.
Sc in the last st (this will be the same st you last drew up a loop in).

Repeat Row 2 until your piece is the desired size.
