How Do I P2TOG TBL?

#1

[SIZE=4]I’m knitting a fuzzy lamb and the pattern reads to P2TOG TBL, purl 2 stitches together through the back loops…anyone have a good video of this? I already checked on Youtube and it’s kinda hard to see how to do it…it’s kinda tricky…I already did it, but I don’t think it’s right!
Thanks In Advance,
Merry :slight_smile:

Scroll down til you see the SSP (slip, slip purl) video. Watch how she places the needle from the back towards the front. A p2tog tbl is the same movement with the needle but you don’t have to slip the 2 stitches first.

There’s a video for it on the Glossary page, about halfway down.

Well, I can hear Amy’s voice, but there is no video to watch…I have a MAC…but I’ve watched her videos before!

Hey Suzeeq,
I tried the glossary before, the box opens for the video, but it doesn’t play for me. :knitting:

I dunno why that is - do the other videos do that? Or if you tried to watch the english style, try the other one, and vice versa.

I find that swearing at the stitches helps me quite a bit when doing p2tog tbl … sorry that wasn’t very helpful to you, but I wanted to get it out of my system ;o)
