How to crochet a 4 double treble cable (aka relief stitch)

In this DROPS video we show how to crochet a 4 double treble (dtr) cable following a chart. We have already crocheted 1 round with tr and start the video with 3 chain stitch (ch) and 5 tr (speeding) before we start with the chart.

RELIEF:
When working 1 relief tr it is to work around 1 st from previous round (do not work in loops but around the tr from front).
4 DTR CABLE:
Skip 3 tr, 1 relief dtr around next tr, 1 relief dtr around 3rd st skipped, 1 relief dtr around first st skipped, 1 relief dtr around 2nd st skipped.

You must read the pattern and look a the charts to be able to follow. You’ll find a pattern using this technique by clicking on the picture below.
