How to Crochet – Front Post Treble Crochet (fptr) (photo & video tutorial)

January 30, 2017 By Jennifer Pionk 3 Comments

So you’re ready to venture out of your comfort zone of chain (ch), single crochet (sc), half double crochet (hdc) and double crochet (dc) stitches. And you’re ready to try new designs that have more texture to them, or maybe you’re ready to try your hook at cables.  

You’ve already learned the front post double crochet (fpdc) (click here for tutorial), and you’re ready for taller post stitches. The front post treble crochet (fptr) (sometimes referred to as the front post triple crochet), is another one to add to your “crochet toolbox”.

The fptr is the second most commonly used post stitch out there and (in my opinion) it’s one of the best for crochet cable work. Since you have already mastered the fpdc, the front post treble crochet will be a piece of cake! 😀

Let’s begin with a few stitch abbreviations and the written instructions to work a fptr!

Stitch Abbreviations

  • ch(s): chain(s)
  • dc: double crochet
  • hdc: half double crochet
  • fpdc: front post double crochet
  • fptr: front post treble crochet
  • yo: yarn over
  • st(s): stitch(es)

 

Front Post Treble Crochet (fptr): Yo 2 times, insert your hook from front to back to front around the post of the next stitch, yo, pull up a loop, (yo, pull thru 2 loops on your hook) 3 times.

Photo Above: Ch 2, turn, dc into the same st as the ch 2… Now, see the yarn needle? It’s pointing to the “post” of the next stitch. Instead of being worked into the top loops of a stitch like the treble crochet, the front post treble crochet is worked around the vertical “post” of the stitch.
