How to make Sk2-FPtr
INSTRUCTIONS
How to read the abbreviation “Sk2-FPtr”:
- Sk = skip → this means you skip a stitch in the working row.
- 2 = the number of stitches you skip. In this case, 2 stitches skip.
- FPtr = the stitch you are going to make. Here, it is a Front Post treble crochet.
So, Sk2-FPtr means: Skip 2 stitches and work a Front Post treble crochet around the post of that stitch (usually two rows below).
What does “second row below” mean?
When you see “work around the post of the stitch located two rows below,” it means that instead of inserting your hook into the working row, you reach down two rows.
Step-by-step instructions
Sk2-FPtr – skip 2 stitches front post treble: skip the next 2 stitches in the working row; yo twice, insert your hook from front to back to front around the post of the stitch 2 rows below and pull up a loop; [yo and draw through 2 loops] twice, yo and draw through the remaining 2 loops on the hook in front of the 2 skipped stitches. Always skip the stitch behind every Sk2-FPtr.
Sk2-FPdc is essentially a standard Front Post treble crochet, but worked into a specific location. Depending on the pattern, it may be worked around the post of a sc, FPdc, FPtr, or another special stitch two rows below. In charts, it is shown using the standard FPdc symbol.
