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 !

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

But WHY would I bother using treble?

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 )
Swatches are good!
