The Trinity stitch is a single crochet based stitch that uses sc3tog stitches to create its beautiful star like look. Despite having chains scattered throughout, this is a hole free stitch that feels quite dense. It has a simple one row repeat making it easy to remember and despite being a single crochet based stitch it works up fairly quickly.

The Trinity stitch would suit many different types of project including blankets, clothing and accessories. It makes for a nice flat textured fabric and the pattern is seen on both sides.

For the sample in the picture below I used Paintbox 100% cotton aran. A beautiful non mercerised 100% cotton yarn that comes in a good variety of colours that are amazingly saturated with pigment for wonderfully vibrant colours that will make your crochet grab every ones attention.

I also used my trusty Clover Amour hooks which are perfect if you are looking for a good value ergonomic crochet hook that won’t cause your hand to ache if you are crocheting for long periods of time. I’ve tried many different crochet hooks over the years, but I always end up coming back to my trusty Clovers. They just sit so well in my hand and never let me down.

How To Add A Border To The Trinity Stitch

The Trinity stitch is made entirely of single crochet rows. So to add a border, you just need to make a single stitch to the side of every row.

I always recommend that you make a round of single crochet stitches around your piece first before adding any border pattern that you have planned, as doing this just helps to even your stitches out and make a nice solid round to add any further stitches into.
