Front and Back Post Treble Crochet
By Emily Truman on April 26, 2016
Cables are generally reserved for knit patterns, but, really, why should knitters have all the fun??? With a front or back post treble crochet, or a combination of both, you can create beautifully textured cables in crochet. This is very similar to the front post double crochet, except you begin by yarning over twice before inserting your hook. If you haven’t practiced a front post double crochet, I would recommend trying that stitch before trying today’s stitch. You can find that post HERE. Once you are ready, take a look at this tutorial from Berroco yarns.
