KNIT TWO STITCHES TOGETHER THROUGH THE BACK LOOPS (K2TOG TBL)
This decrease is commonly abbreviated as k2tog tbl in knitting patterns. It’s a left-leaning decrease, similar in look and function to the ssk decrease. The k2tog tbl decrease begins by inserting the right needle into the next two stitches on the left needle through their back loops. The stitches are then knit together to create a single stitch. This particular decrease is a considered a single decrease because there is 1 stitch where there were previously 2 stitches.
