Stitches

how do you make a 2trcl crochet stitch?

I am crocheting a doily & the pattern calls for making a 2trcl crochet stitch which I've never made before. I know that a 2tr is a treble made over 2 stitches but how do you make a 2trcl stitch?

1. I googled for instructions for 2trcl and found: * [yo] twice and draw up a loop in the stitch specified, [yo and draw through 2 loops] twice; rep from * once more; yo and draw through all 3 loops on hook. Basically it is a two-treble cluster -- do one treble up until you have *two* loops remaining on your hook, do another treble (in the same stitch) until you have *three* loops altogether on your hook, and then draw the yarn through all three loops.
2. I suggest you google it and there will be your answer. Unless you are using a pattern from a book of patterns then the instructions are usually in the back of the book on how to do any of the stitches in the book/patterns... good luck!!
