Question
For some reason the way to do this has completely slipped my mind,  I am doing the Autumn reflections doily which I got from www.crochetmemories.com/archive and cannot seem to understand how to do the 3 trc which is on round 11.  Could you explain it to me please.   Thanks, Arlene

Answer
A 2 treble cluster is basically 2 trebles finished except for the last yo, pull through 2 loops, and then that last yo and pull through is through all the loops left on the hook.
To break it down:
yo twice, insert hook in stitch, yo and pull through stitch, yo and pull through two loops twice;
yo twice, insert hook in stitch, yo and pull through stitch, yo and pull through two loops twice;
yo and pull through all three loops on the hook.
For a 3 treble cluster, repeat this: yo twice, insert hook in stitch, yo and pull through stitch, yo and pull through two loops twice;
then finish with, yo and pull through 4 loops.
Hope that helps.  BTW, I love the doilies on Crochet Memories.
