K3tog TBL

If you know how to do a K2tog TBL, you can slip a stitch and do a PSSO, then you know how to do a K3tog TBL.

It’s really quite easy and I’ll show you how!

3 Ways to Do a K3tog TBL: Just 3 Easy Steps!

Method 1: One Slipped stitch

Step 1: Slip one stitch purlwise. That means, you just insert your needle from right to left and the stitch remains mounted the same way as it was.

Just slip it, DON’T insert your needle like you’re getting ready to knit a stitch.

Step 2: Knit the next 2 stitches together TBL (through the back loops). That means you insert the needle from right to left but through TWO stitches.

Step 3: PSSO (all on the RIGHT needle, use your left needle and pass the second stitch over the first).

Method 2: Two slipped stitches

Step 1: Slip two stitches purlwise. That means, you just insert your needle from right to left and the stitch remains mounted the same way as it was.

Step 2: Knit the next stitch THROUGH THE BACK LOOP. That means, you insert the needle from right to left.

Step 3: Pass the TWO stitches over the one you just made in the previous step.

Method 3: Use a Crochet Hook

You can do this with either method. Just use a crochet hook to pass the stitches over. Here it is when there are 2 stitches to be passed over. It works the same way with one.

I’m using a larger crochet hook so you can see it easily in the picture. In reality, I suggest you use a small steel hook so you can maneuver it easily.

You’re done with the K3TOG TBL!

Look at how great it is!

About the Instructor: Jody Richards

Jody is the founder and lead editor of Knotions. She loves poring over stitch dictionaries and trying out new stitches. And while she likes all things crafting (well ok, except that one thing), yarn crafts are her true love (and she has the stash to prove it).

She’s a serial starter-of-projects and has a serious problem with finishing things without a deadline.

And don’t get her talking about hand-dyed yarns. You’ve been warned.
