I actually learned the double treble crochet stitch pretty early from when I learned how to crochet. It’s not used often, but I think it’s fun to use!

One of the best parts about crocheting is that you learn more skills all the time!
It never hurts to learn a new stitch for a project :)

i’ve only done it once or twice, but i think i know what it is! i think you can use it in your pattern, imo it’s pretty easy to look up how to do it

I’m personally always up for a challenge, so even if you would use a quadruple-quintiple-double-treble crochet I would try! And once you understand those stitches, it is not super complicated. (maybe the one I just came up with would be a little impossible, but you get the point I think :)

If Im not mistaken double treble is a uk term and the us version is just treble? Or is there also a us double treble?

Yes 3 yarn overs

There is also a us version that is a little taller than a treble, as it has an extra yarn over.

Technically Treble would be the next tallest in sts, then a dbl treble… but yes :slightly_smiling_face:

yeah I know what it is!! I actually sometimes gravitate towards patterns with more confusing sts cause I want to switch it up sometimes!

I’ve heard of a double crochet and a triple crochet, but never a double triple crochet.

I wouldn’t avoid a stitch if it was one I didn’t know. You can find videos on any stitch here of Ribbkr or on YouTube.

But tbh, for me personally, I tend to avoid making arigarumis altigether. It’s just not my thing. I don’t really like making them.

The double treble I learned is much different than what else was described in the comments. I learned it as what’s pictured and it’s far more than just an extra yarn over. This is American terminology that I know so maybe it’s UK as others are saying?

Perhaps I am oversimplifying the stitch definition. This is what I mean:
