They actually have a magazine put out by Crochet Magazine called "Interlock Crochet Magazine." I bought it once and did some interlock.
Basically, what you need to do is practice a bit before using this stitch. It produces a very tight stitch with no holes and very little stretch--perfect for making crochet straps for those cute little tube tops and spaghetti strap dresses. Also good for trivets and pot holders. Good for yarns that stretch where you don't want holes (across chest maybe?)
It is recommended that you start with a "chainless foundation". Unlike this stitch, which I could find no other directions for on the internet, there are lots and lots of websites with pics and you tube videos on that.
Just for practice, tho, make a daisy chain of about 13 chains.
The trick to this stitch is to "interlock" the last stitch with the next one. But for now, let's keep it simple and do a basic single crochet to start. Next row, I'll tell you how to turn and interlock.
Practice swatch:
1) Ch 13. Hook thru 2nd chain, draw up loop, YO, draw thru one loop, YO, draw thru 2 lps on hook, 1 sc made (not interlocked, see #3 below to interlock on turns).
2) *Look at your hook, there are now 2 loops on your hook. working in front of lps, place hook thru 2nd loop from hook (or loop bet. hook and chain) AND down thru next stitch. YO and draw thru stitch AND 1 loop on hook. YO, draw thru 2 loops.* repeat * to * until end of chain.
3) at end of row, chain 2 and turn. place hook thru 2nd chain in front and down thru next stitch from front, YO pull thru stitch AND loop on hook. YO, pull thru two loops.

The abbreviation for the triple crochet stitch in crochet is "tr."
The abbreviation for the treble crochet stitch in crochet patterns is "tr."
The single crochet stitch is the strongest crochet stitch for creating durable and long-lasting projects.
The word "post" in crochet is referring to the whole stitch--generally a "tall" stitch (such as a double crochet, triple crochet, etc).The reason the instructions refer to the stitch in the row below, is so the crocheter understands that you are to stitch around the stitch below--the "post" of the stitch. Otherwise, if the instructions stated that you were to double crochet the next stitch, you would understand that you would be double crocheting into the top of the stitch below, versus crochet around the length of the stitch.You also notice that the instructions will say to "back post double crochet (bpdc)" which means to bring your stitch around the post from the back position. So, "front post, double crochet (fp dc)" would mean to bring your stitch in from the front side of your work.

In crochet, a "tr" stands for treble crochet, which is a tall stitch that creates a loose and open texture in the fabric. It is used in creating different crochet patterns by adding height and creating a lacy or airy effect. The treble crochet stitch is made by wrapping the yarn twice around the hook before inserting it into the stitch, which results in a taller stitch compared to other basic crochet stitches like single or double crochet.
The basic stitches used to crochet are: slip stitch chain single crochet half double crochet double crochet treble crochet double treble shell pop corn
American EnglishSingle crochet = Double crochetslip stitch = slip stitch
You'll have to be much more specific - perhaps include what happens in the stitch, like when you would half-double, double, and/or triple crochet, or a link to a video of the stitch.
The letters sc are found in crochet instructions and are the abbreviation for "single crochet". The instructions are telling you to make a single crochet stitch in the last stitch of the row you are working.
There are about 6 basic crochet stitches them being: ch~chain stitch sc~single crochet dc~double crochet hdc~half double crochet treble ss~slip stitch most patterns will use one of these stitches or a combo of some of them. .
The size of a crochet stitch will depend on the size of the yarn and hook that are used to make the stitch. You can check your gauge by trying a few sample stitches before you begin a project.
