The standing treble crochet is my favorite way to do the first treble of a row/round. Doing chains only makes the stitch too thin, doing chains and a tr in the first stitch is too bulky. This method is perfect!
Starting point:
Insert hook into stitch, YO, pull up a loop, YO, pull thru 2.
Insert hook into left-most vertical bar just made, YO, pull up a loop, YO, pull thru 2.
Insert hook into left-most vertical bar just made, YO, pull up a loop, YO, pull thru 2.
And you’re done! You can continue with the pattern as normal, with this first treble stitch!
