Steps:

Insert the hook into the next stitch.
Hook onto the yarn.
Pull through the stitch. (4 loops on the hook.)
Hook onto the yarn.
Pull through 2 loops. (3 loops remaining on the hook.)
Hook onto the yarn.
Pull through 2 loops. (2 loops remaining on the hook.
Hook onto the yarn.
Pull through the last 2 loops on the hook (1 loop remaining on the hook.) Repeat steps from 2 to 11 for each treble crochet.
At the end of the row of treble crochet, chain 3.
Turn the work to begin working on the next row.

NOTE: Always insert the hook into the second stitch of the row, as the chain 3 is equivalent to the first treble crochet of the row. Photo 14.

mistyhicks 5153275, a double treble is worked by wrapping 3 times before inserting hook into stitch, and a triple treble is worked by wrapping 4 times before inserting hook into stitch. The loops are worked off the hook by twos just as they are in the treble. HTH
