Treble Crochet
I would recommend becoming comfortable with The Single Crochet and Double Crochet before learning The Treble Crochet. You can think of The Treble Crochet as an elongated double crochet. In fact, Double Treble Crochet is the UK term for this stitch.
The Treble Crochet would work well for projects where you are okay with having large gaps between stitches. The Treble Crochet is not a tight stitch, due to its height. I've seen it look great for market bags, open sweaters or cardigans, or paired with a bulky yarn for a quick and easy beginner throw.
