All the directions I have seen for a treble says to wrap the yarn around the hook 3 times instead of 2 like you do for a double.

WOW! I have always wrapped around 1 time for double and 2 times around for treble. I think tr does stand for treble, and I don't know about the tbl.
SO, who's right,??????

Just looked on the Craft Council Master List. TBL- does mean through the back loop. That is a very good place to go for information. Try it.

In the "Crochet Answer Book" by Edie Eckman the definitions are as follows;
tbl == through the back loop
tr == triple crochet, treble crochet; Yarn over twice, insert hook into the stitch, yarn over again and pull through stitch. (Yarn over and pull through 2 loops) 3 times.
trtr == triple treble crochet; (Yarn over pull through stitch, yarn over pull through 2 loops) 4 times
Think i purchased the book at Jo-Ann's about 5 years ago. Small about 5 x 7 size. Has 320 pages. Wonderful reference, but have a hard time keeping up with it as I'm not well organized.Last edited by Cliffene; 05-04-2012 at 10:04 AM.
