le under one edge of the stitch beneath,
you put it under both, and between the trebles of the last row.

DOUBLE TREBLES OR 'LONG STITCH' (fig. 418).--Turn the thread twice
round the needle, put it into a stitch of the work and bring the thread
through in a loop, then take up the thread on the needle and bring it
through two of the loops, three times in succession.

[Illustration: FIG. 419. TRIPLE AND QUADRUPLE TREBLES OR 'EXTRA LONG
STITCH'.]

TRIPLE AND QUADRUPLE TREBLES OR 'EXTRA LONG STITCH' (fig. 419).--For a
triple treble, twist the cotton three times round the needle, for a
quadruple one, four times, then form the treble in the usual way by
bringing the needle through two of the loops at a time. To make a series
of trebles, of gradually increasing length, bring the needle, at every
other treble, through the last three loops, so that before making a
triple treble you will have to make columns, respectively, 1 treble, 11/2
treble, 2 trebles and 21/2 trebles long. Columns like these, of different
lengths, are often required in crochet work, for leaves and scalloped
edgings.

CONNECTED TREBLES (fig. 420).--Trebles, connected together, can be
worked to and fro, and take the place of plain stitches. Begin with a
chain, then make a treble of the required height, form as many loops as
you made overs for the treble, take up the upper thread of the stitch
nearest the treble, turn the thread round the needle, bring it back to
the right side and draw the needle through the trebles, two at a time.

[Illustration: FIG. 420. CONNECTED TREBLES.]

CROSSED TREBLES (figs. 421 and 422).--Trebles of this sort produce an
open stitch, which is often used for the footing of lace, or for an
insertion. Make a foundation of chain, or other stitches, and proceed as
follows: 3 chain, miss 2 stitches of the row beneath, make 1 treble in
the third stitch, 5 chain, 1 over, put the needle in between the loops
of the connected trebles and finish with a treble. Then make a double
over, put the needle into the next loop of the preceding row, make
another over, draw the needle through the loops, make another over and
join the two next loops. This leaves 3 loops on the needle. Make an
over, put the needle into the third stitch of the row beneath, make an
over, and bring the needle back to the right side.
