Lets do a purl row!


The very next step to knitting after making a knit row, is making a purl row! Once again I have included a video and a tutorial. Good luck guys! 
  • Bring the yarn to the front of your knitting, while you still have the needle with your completed stitches in your left hand and the empty needle in your right. If you're not purling an entire row and both needles have stitches, the right should be the side new stitches are moving to.
  • Insert the right needle into the front of the stitch loop from right to left. This is directly opposite the way you insert the needle for a standard knit stitch.
  • Wrap the yarn counter-clockwise around the right needle, keeping it at the front of your project. Again, the direction you wrap the yarn is the opposite of how knit stitches are done.
  • Pull the new loop through onto the right needle, and slide the original stitch off the left needle. You have just completed one purl stitch.
  • Repeat until all your stitches are off your first needle!

Laterz! Charlotte x
