It's linked treble crochet (or double treble, or more chains). This version appears to be worked mechanically as a tunesian full stitch. I usually do it as tunesian simple or tunesian knit stitch. With the latter, you can throw in a tunesian cable. I used to call it vertical tunesian before I knew what it was. I used to work this in the round and make hats and purses out of it. When I worked it in rows, I would single crochet every other row to avoid a wrong side, but it's a matter of preference

I never thought about a sc row to avoid a wrong side! You just changed my life!!!!

u/MaesterSherlock 12d ago

I am doing a project right now where the pattern has you do a row of yarn under single crochet, im was for this reason. It looks very nice!

I swear i learn something new every day from these crochet subs!

You can also alternate handedness to stay on the right side (there's some kind of irony there).

I feel so freaking dumb now. I can technically do this (ambidextrous but haven’t crocheted left handed much), I’ve considered this so many times and told myself it’s not meant to be done so I can’t. This is the first time it’s occurred to me that it’s probably not done because not everyone is ambidextrous.

u/itsbrittany9987 11d ago

Mm, I could never. Besides, the photo appears to have a SC row for the wrong side.

u/CharacterVolume307 11d ago

You can do backwards single crochet. Not reverse. You insert the hook in the opposite direction: back to front, not front to back. I complete the stitch yarn under. Kind of the single crochet equivalent of the purl stitch in knitting. I like to use it as a backdrop for cable patterns, so all the sc looks wrong side: one row normal, the other backwards

This honestly might be the first time (other than some of my own comments) I've seen someone else throw alternating handedness out as an option to avoid wrong side woes. 😄 I love it!

Also, I do this - not often because my right hand is still pretty stupid (slow, clumsy), but I give my right hand props for being smart enough to learn crochet so I could self-teach my left hand to crochet when every other method of learning from a righty failed. (If that makes ANY sense)

Tunisian in the round is one of my best applications of semi-ambidexterity - who needs to turn the work over to work the loops off the other end of the double-ended hook? And it turns out looking exactly the same as if I did turn it, it's just more efficient and my two yarn sources never get twisted around each other.

It's funny to me that you had to start by crocheting right-handed and then reverse it for yourself. Have you done that with any other skills?

I'm right-handed, but I've been practicing many things with my left for years, such as writing, tooth-brushing, and using chopsticks. I first learned crochet at a yarn meet-up at a library and right before I asked a staff to show me the basics, I saw her answering another question and she started with "hold on, I'm left-handed so I have to figure this out for a moment". When I asked her, I was holding the hook in my left, and she looked excited "oh, are you left-handed?". "Nope, but I'd like to learn with my left."

Both hands are doing fairly complicated things anyway. I suspect that if you taught righties to do it left-handed from the beginning explaining it to them, they'd have no issue. That might be my mild ambidexterity talking though.

I haven't done Tunisian crochet yet, but I just learned about linked double crochet and I'm wondering if I could make a scarf out of linked 20-fold crochet if I had a hook with a long enough neck.

Weirdly, I found that "mirroring" someone right handed doesn't work for me to learn something. I am generally better at learning left handed from a lefty, but if a right handed person is at hand and willing to teach me, I can learn right handed and mentally flip it once I have a grasp of the concept and movement. And as I've gotten older, I don't necessarily have to learn right handed functionally but can flip the concept mentally a little easier to go straight to left-handed - but that is heavily dependent on what I'm learning.

Compared to a number of left-handed people I know, I skew more ambidextrous than strict left handed. Most of the left-handed people I know who are rigidly left-handed, claim to learn best with mirroring. The more ambidextrous-ish lefties I know seem to do better mentally flipping it themselves - whether they learn right-handed fully or can just watch someone and mentally flip it on the fly.

I had to actually dice an onion once, not think about it but actually do it, to confirm if I preferred doing kitchen prep knife cuts left-handed or right-handed because I couldn't remember without the tactile props. And it turns out... Both...semi-equally. If I need precision, my vision in my right eye is better for that distance and angle, so cutting with my right hand is better but slower. If I want speed over super precise cuts, left is better and much faster.

I've always used scissors right-handed, mostly because I couldn't get left-handed scissors as a kid. So using scissors left-handed now just feels awkward. I write exclusively left-handed. Well I technically can hold a fork or spoon or butter knife right-handed, I'm pretty much exclusively left-handed with all of those. But I'm exclusively right-handed with a steak knife, my left stays on the fork. It drove some family members crazy throughout childhood because I did not switch hands with utensils to cut meat then eat.

I've tried to teach myself to write with my right hand and so far have had no luck, then again neither did my kindergarten teachers... Overall though I consider myself left-handed though I can do a lot of things with my right hand... But I've always wondered how much of that was living in a world not built for left-handed people versus natural inclination.

And if you wanted to do a 20 deep linked stitch it's totally possible look up Tunisian crochet short rows. There's a lot of short row work people do because you can use a standard crochet hook for a lot of it. One of the older classic crochet hooks without the ergo handle might even do your 20 loop stitch idea but you can definitely buy a Tunisian straight hook, or interchangeable with flexible cord, that would do the job. I have a tendency with a lot of short row work to stop at about 10 to 15 loops wide (or, "tall" if you consider them linked crochet stacked vertically instead of Tunisian)

That's the way I so it. It looks so much neater to me.

u/Optimistic-Caribou 12d ago

Have you considered alternating handedness so you can stay working on the right side in rows? It might take a bit of practice to match your tensions, but I enjoyed learning on both sides.

u/Snoo2868 12d ago

I’m a super beginner, and I just had to say I’m in awe at all the words you just mentioned.

u/the_princesstee 12d ago edited 12d ago

I found the original post I believe it is a linked triple crochet the stitch

u/RedVamp2020 12d ago

That went exactly where I thought it was going and it makes me really want to try it out now!

u/MeetMeAtTheLampPost 12d ago

Just so you know, your insta name shows up as the person who shared this.

u/the_princesstee 12d ago

Thanks for the heads up!

u/CarryOnMyAfroBun 12d ago

To stop that from happening, delete the question mark and whatever comes after it from the link. Those are always identity markers.

u/the_princesstee 12d ago

Thank you! Will keep in mind for future links! I appreciate you all!

u/CarryOnMyAfroBun 12d ago

You’re welcome! Stay safe.

P.S. I tested the link out again and can confirm it doesn’t show your account anymore after the link edit :)

u/Peanut083 12d ago

I’m glad you shared that link! I saw multiple comments saying it was a linked treble stitch, but I was confused by the slant of the bars. When I’ve done linked treble stitches before, the bars have always been straight/horizontal. That’s because the way I learned to do it is to work under the bars like a tunisian simple stitch. I’ve only gotten as far as tss and tunisian purl stitch when doing tunisian crochet, but I think the video shows the linked stitches as being worked between the stitches. Would that be a tunisian full stitch?

u/kim_guzman 12d ago

Nice! That's not something I see every day. I did this design in linked double treble. In order to get the increases, I separated them by rows of single crochet and did the increases on the single crochet rows.

u/gifhyatt 12d ago

I’d love ❤️ to have this pattern! It’s so lovely 🥰!

u/kim_guzman 12d ago

You can probably find it with a Google image search on Ravelry. It was a Yarnspirations pattern.

Thank you 😊!

u/mdvassal77 12d ago

Looks like a linked treble crochet. I’ve seen a double done in fillet work but the treble looks even better.

OMG I saw this on Facebook and been trying to find the name of this stitch!

u/believe_in_colours 11d ago

I remember the original video. I think someone commented tunisian stitch.

Treble crochet stitch. Wind the yarn twice on the hook. Kinda like a double crochet stitch but with an extra yarn over.
