BelongsToThrough Laravel

I have 3 tables. tasks, items, and item_types

A task belongs to an item
An item belongs to item_type

task: has item_id
item: has item_type_id

As far as I understand, we don't have belongsToThrough relationship.

Starting from tasks, I am trying to get item_type.

$tasks = Task::with('item')->get() // this works with belongsTo relationship

I have seen some people achieving this with hasManyThrough. But when I try this:

class Task {
   public function itemType() {
       return $this->hasOneThrough('App\ItemType', 'App\Item');
   }
}

This doesn't work:

$tasks = Task::with('item')->with('itemType')->get()

Call to undefined relationship [ItemType] on model [App\Task].

What is the way of achieving this?
