Brilliant! Robyn Chachula’s linked crochet stitches
Robyn Chachula (click her name for her website)
(aka Crochet by Faye) (click that last link for her blog) is one classy, clever woman who happens to be a very gifted crochet designer as well as a structural engineer.
Her gorgeous ‘Bubble Belt’ is part of the nifty Belts Book
that I also contributed to.
Robyn has come up with a totally fantastic way of doing linked tr crochet stitches. This eliminates gaps in tall stitches. It’s kind of like mini Tunisian! Way to go, Robyn!
And, thanks a million, Cristina, for giving me the heads up on Robyn’s vunderbar technique!

Hi there Noreen . . . you really opened up my eyes . . . I had only seen the tutorial, not all the wonderful designs Robyn has . . . brilliant !
As for the linked stitches, the next challenges is using them in a new design . . . any ideas?
Sincerely

Hi CC
Robyn really is a genius, no doubt about that!
and, as for using linked stitches…. they are substitutable in all manner of patterns…. just make a swatch first to check your measurements :o)
Swatches are good!

But WHY would I bother using treble? :-)

In some pieces, you’ll want the extra height that the tr gives you. Linked stitches work just fine in dc, too….. :o)

Hi there - now *that* I find very useful. I use DC in most plain items for my son (as boys don’t look good in fancy stitches), and the option for having a gap-free fabric for a winter cardigan is superb !
