Stuck. D:
I'm relatively new to crochet; I started out as a knitter but I've recently become obsessed with amigurumi, and am currently attempting this pattern. I was getting on fine with it until I got to the main dress piece, and I've ended up having to rip it out and start again a ridiculous number of times so I think possibly I'm in need of some help. I've searched, and can't find anything to clarify the step I'm stuck on at all.

The particular thing I'm having trouble with is this (it's a sort of 'point' off a chain made up of 16 stitches), specifically the bit in bold:

[sc 1, dc 1, tr 1, ch 1, sl st in front 2 loops of prev. tr, ch 2, sl st in next ch] 4 times

I don't understand where/what these 'front 2 loops of prev. tr' are. I've experimented with just slip stitching *around* the bar that the treble stitch makes, but that doesn't look right. I can't see any noticeable 'loops' to stitch through; obviously the treble stitch itself is made up of a series of loops/stitches, but none of them are more prominent than the others so I don't know what I'm supposed to be looking for. If I could find a diagram of how to execute this I'm sure it wouldn't be a problem, but this is the only pattern I can find that uses this technique.

I'm left-handed, and I suspect that my technique is not quite standard since all the amigurumi I've completed so far have had to be turned inside out before stuffing (I'm working from left to right, and the side facing outwards while I'm working is the 'wrong side'). By that reasoning the 'front 2 loops' should be at the *back* of the work to me, but I can't find any obvious loops to stitch through there either.

I feel like there must be a ridiculously obvious solution to this but I can't figure out what it is. If anyone could pleeeease help me out I will be very very grateful indeed. :)

Thanks!
