tr over tr ?

[kukala1]

Hello everyone.

 

I'm working on a doily pattern and came across this instruction on row 12:

 

tr over tr

 

What does it mean to stich over a stich? I can't find anything on this.

 

Thank you for your assistance!

That means to crochet a treble (also called triple) stitch in the top of the treble of the row below.  Does your pattern tell you how to make the treble?

If you are still having problems, just let us know.

[kukala1]

Thank you. I'll proceed that way then.

 

My confusion came about because the rest of the pattern uses more traditional terms like tr in next stitch; tr in next dtr; and so forth.

 

The change in wording threw me off.

Welcome to the ville

 

If the rest of the wording is different, possibly tr over tr does mean something else. What pattern is it?

[FrLopLady]

maybe a post stitch?

Is the next stitch in the row below not a tr?  Is this a vintage pattern?  Sometimes vintage patterns don't spell everything out, example if the next stitch in the row below is a chain, it may mean to skip the chain, find the next triple and triple into that stitch.

 

What pattern is it?

Here's a link to the pattern in question:

It looks to me like it does mean to make a triple into the top of the triple on the previous row, just what you would normally do.

 

Do you know whether this is written in US or UK terms?  I think it is UK, since there are 3 turning chains for a triple and 4 for a double triple.  Reference table of the terms here http://www.crochetville.com/community/topic/38393-usuk-stitch-name-comparison-table/

I agree, 3 chains for a triple sounds like UK terms.  Also, I've found UK patterns tend to say 3 ch, where US patterns will say ch 3 (this pattern says 3 ch).

The pattern not only makes more sense but is looking a heck of a lot better when followed with UK crochet rules.

 

Thanks for the assist all!
