KNITTING TUTORIAL: The Purl Stitch

Video Tutorial


Photo Tutorial

1

Hold your yarn to the front of your work. Insert your right-hand needle into the next stitch on the left-hand needle, from right to left.

2

Wrap the working yarn around the tip of your right-hand needle. When I work this stitch it feels like a clockwise motion, so if you hold your yarn and needles the same as I do, you might find that a useful thing to pay attention to.

3

Just the same as you do for the knit stitch, pull the loop through. Hold the working yarn to keep your tension.

4

Drop the stitch off of the left-hand needle. You've completed the purl stitch!
