A treble crochet stitch is a taller crochet stitch that creates an open and airy fabric. 

To make it, you yarn over twice, insert the hook into the stitch, yarn over and pull up a loop, yarn over and pull through two loops, yarn over and pull through two more loops, and finally, yarn over and pull through the last two loops. 

It is a bit taller than a double crochet and gives a lacy appearance to your crochet work.
