Judy, i think I'm gonna need some help. I've only been knitting about 2 months and made a big mess of trying the purl stitch. Lord only knows how, but I wound up with the wool I was using to wrap round the needle, at the handle end of the row when I purled the last stitch, so I wound up with a strip of wool along the top of the row I'd just finished. Any ideas? Great video, btw :)
glad to know my video helped. hope you've continued to watch and learn. please subscribe to my youtube channels and like me on facebook. happy knitting.
Hey judy, i wanted to make a purl stitch scarf and was wondering if i needed to slip the first stitch and knit the last stitch in a different way. If i do need to knit the last stitch in a different way how do i do it? Is it the same as the one in the garter stitch scarf? Thanks!!! Love your videos!
I'm only 15 and I'm trying to knit a hat. I'm only a beginner and every time I saw the word purl I was super confused. All the other videos I watched but this one was great. Thanks a lot!!
i just made my first successful scarf because of you! thanks a million now i wanna make a hat! do you have any plans on making videos for that?! i need to start making people christmas presents loll
Thank you, Judy, you're teaching me how to knit! One slight problem though: after casting on and doing one knit-row, I start the purl and I always end up with one stitch more then the foundation row (I'm sorry if I didn't get the terminology right, I'm a crocheter and know absolutely nothing about knitting) or the previous knit-row. The problem seems to be in the first purl stitch I'm making, it always creates two loops on my right needle! Any tips? Thank you!
have you figured it out yet? It sounds like you're putting the yarn in the wrong place at the beginning. Watch the video again and make sure you do what I do. Please keep watching and have fun knitting. Like me on facebook too.
@knittingtipsbyjudy I have the same problem with my purl stitches. I've tried a few different videos and I'm sure I'm doing exactly the same thing as you, but it always makes two loops.
i am doin the exact same as what your doing on the video but wen i finish my firs sticith it just makes the yarn wrap round it and when u let go it jsut falls out.....any suggestions y. :)
My grandmother taught me to crochet..I always wanted to learn knitting ...recently I went got my neddles and a book...uffff...I couldnt understand the book much...waste of money...your videos have helped me A LOT...I am knitting now... Thanks...from another Judy :-)
I'm glad this grandmother named Judy was able to help you and I hope you'll enjoy knitting as I have, for years to come. Please keep watching and learning and look for me on facebook too.
Ooooh I have always wanted to know more knitting stitches,like I've said your vide make it seem EASY!! thanks goodness for Judy! I learnt to knit/crochet with my Grandma(she is/was a prolific crocheter) so I KNOW I am pleasing her to pick it up again and thanks to you I'm finding it's all coming back to me ... 30 years later lol! Thank you yet again xx
I too am having trouble with the purl stitch. It's like the yarn is in the wrong place, and I can't get comfy. I've done 2 rows of 40 purls and they look good, but it was so awkward, nothing "zen" or calming about it at all. Practice makes perfect I guess
it will get easier and eventually you'll be able to do it without even looking. then you'll think back to this time and be really proud of yourself. trust me.

watch my video over and over to see exactly how I do it. One side of your work should look like knitting (flat), the other side should look like purling (bumpy). That is the stockinette stitch. Keep at it. Practice makes perfect.
Ms. Judy, I am still a novice knitter and it's been a couple of years since I've knitted anything. Your videos are so helpful, concise, and the red yarn is a huge visual aid. Thank you so much... now I'm off to knit a scarf.
Thanks for the note. Glad you like the videos and that they are helping you get back into knitting. How did your scarf come out? Please keep watching and look for me on facebook too.
Can you make a video of how you hold the needles and actually knit (preferably a slow version of it). I always hold mine the way i saw in the very first video of knitting that i watched but you seem to hold it differently and do it much faster. :)
I have a couple of videos where I talk about how I hold the needles and yarn, and give other tips. they are called knitting tips and e-mail questions answered. look for them on youtube and I think you'll find them helpful. Thanks for writing. Please keep watching and look for me on facebook.
I've been watching and reading how to purl in knitting and I seem to never understand it! This video has competely changed my perspective in learning new things in knitting! Thank you so much for making awsome videos!
oh my gosh. thank you. I have been trying to read instructions on how to do this and I was so confused. I just could not get it. But this was so helpful!
Thanks so much for this. I have been trying to figure this out for hours. The only thing I would have liked to seen is what the stitch looks like coming back the other direction.
PS. I looked for you on facebook and couldn't find you. Maybe you should leave a link to your page in your profile here on youtube.
I was about to comment saying that it wasn't working for me, and that the yarn kept slipping off of the right needle before I could pull the yarn through the stitch for some reason. Then I re-played the video and realized I had the yarn in the back instead of the front. Oopsie, hahaha.
Now I'm purling like a pro, thanks to your video. Thanks so much! :)
Thanks for this. It really really helped. I only learnt how to knit about a week ago and I didn't even think about learning new stitches, but you made this really easy. Thanks so much! :]
I've been looking around to see how this stitch is done and by far this has been the most and only helpful source I've come across! Thank you for sharing.
You videos are so wonderful for a new knitter! Thanks to your videos, I taught myself how to knit (with your help!) in two days! Thank you soooo very much Judy!
if you do stockinette stitch the knit stitch would be the right side and the purl would be the wrong side. the knit stitch is flat and the purl stitch is bumpy.
Excellent clip. Purl stitch is a pain in that you have to "think" about it, whereas Garter or knit stitch is truly effortless! But the Purl stitch LOOKS so much better!! Thanks,
Thank you so much, Judy! Have watched so many tutorials and have been pulling my hair out with frustration - 2 minutes into your video and am purling like an old pro! Thank you thank you. God bless you. x
Judy I feel a lot of stress in my right hand does that mean that when I knit should I practice Continental instead...I like Eastern Continental but there are not that many videos teaching that method
i understand how to put the needle through, but when you have to pull it away and take the stitch off of the other needle, i get confused. do you anything to help?
Im so confused, Judy, I have been knitting for a year now and still havent learned how to purl because I am confused on when you bring your yarn around, and you catch a stitch and cast off. WHAT STITCH DO YOU CATCH AFTER YOU BRING YOUR YARN AROUND?!?!?!?!
Thanks, Judy! That was probably the most helpful vid I've seen on how to purl. (Others seem rather fast or don't show everything that needs to be shown.)
Oh, I'm so happy to know I've taught a new knitter. Now you'll have something that you'll enjoy doing for life. It's addictive! Have fun with it and thanks for writing to me.
ok, this is SO ANOYING! wanna learn how to stitch? why don't you start by teaching us HOW TO START!!!!! OMG, all the videos say the same thing! SOMEONE TEACH US HOW TO START THE PEARL STITCH!!!
Thanks for this vid! I've just started knitting a scarf for my sister and I wanted to make it look interesting, so I decided to do a basket weave pattern (always used regular knit stitch before), then realized I didn't know how to purl!! What a frightful eejit I am. Anyway, I got it right first time after watching this, so thanks :D
Thanks so much! I learned the knit stitch a long time ago from my a grand parent. I have been trying to figure out the purl from written instructions and other videos for hours. I just now realized what I was doing wrong, I was trying to knit backwards with success. :) i had to heat and see the "push the yarn away from you" part before it made sense. I love your other videos too.
i just re-learned to knit, forgotten since childhood but with an explanation yesterday and a video some minutes ago i seem to get the hang of it. but both back then and with my friend we dont put the yarn OVER like that, we just kinda pick it up with the needle, (schoolteacher called it "putting on the scarf") ,its easier to me too. It looks the same in the end, but maybe its not and will have some consequense? is the other way better or its just a variation of how to do it?
well, you're doing something wrong. Be sure to put the needle in the stitch and wrap the yarn around once. If you do that on every stitch you'll be o-k. You must be wrapping the yarn around twice or purling into the stitch twice somewhere. Watch my video and go slow.
0:38 I always have troubles doing the "pulling away" at 0:38, my left line would be so tight till it's hard to pull it off my left needle... I guess practice make perfect, I hope!
make sure that you push your stitches on the lieft needle closer to the tip of the needle as you work along the rows , it oftne makes the knitting easier to pull off :)
Thank you for your video, I am trying to learn the purl stitch and having a hard time/with it, but watching your video you've made it so easy! - I will give it another try!! - thank you!! :)
Judy, thank you so much, but i am still having an issue. i am making a scarf and need to Purl 2 then Knit 2. Its not working i think i am putting my lose yarn on the worng side. thank you!
The yarn goes in the back for knitting, in the front for purling. Knit 2, bring the yarn in front. Purl 2, put the yarn in back. Good luck. Keep practicing and happy knitting!
This is SO helpful! I've been wanting to learn how to purl for a while now, and my friend didn't really explain it clearly in a way that made sense. But I'm going to try this out now. Thanks for posting this video!
I did it, I did it! I knew to come straight to you to learn this stitch! Watched it twice and I have it down! Thanks Judy!!

Judy I feel a lot of stress in my right hand does that mean that when I knit should I practice Continental instead...I like Eastern Continental but there are not that many videos teaching that method
TheVeiledCatholic 2 years ago
I don't know continental at all. Just relax into it and you should be fine.
knittingtipsbyjudy 2 years ago
i understand how to put the needle through, but when you have to pull it away and take the stitch off of the other needle, i get confused. do you anything to help?
thanks!

Just pull it off and go to the next stitch on the needle. Keep practicing and I'm sure you'll get it.
knittingtipsbyjudy 2 years ago
Im so confused, Judy, I have been knitting for a year now and still havent learned how to purl because I am confused on when you bring your yarn around, and you catch a stitch and cast off. WHAT STITCH DO YOU CATCH AFTER YOU BRING YOUR YARN AROUND?!?!?!?!
BreezyRulez 2 years ago
You catch the next stitch on the needle. Keep watching my video and with practice I'm sure you'll get it.

Thanks, Judy! That was probably the most helpful vid I've seen on how to purl. (Others seem rather fast or don't show everything that needs to be shown.)

Thanks for this vid! I've just started knitting a scarf for my sister and I wanted to make it look interesting, so I decided to do a basket weave pattern (always used regular knit stitch before), then realized I didn't know how to purl!! What a frightful eejit I am. Anyway, I got it right first time after watching this, so thanks :D

One of the best purl instructionals here, thank you so much,now I can rib.
Punkcowgirl1 2 years ago
Thanks so much! I learned the knit stitch a long time ago from my a grand parent. I have been trying to figure out the purl from written instructions and other videos for hours. I just now realized what I was doing wrong, I was trying to knit backwards with success. :) i had to heat and see the "push the yarn away from you" part before it made sense. I love your other videos too.
queenamelia82 2 years ago
i just re-learned to knit, forgotten since childhood but with an explanation yesterday and a video some minutes ago i seem to get the hang of it. but both back then and with my friend we dont put the yarn OVER like that, we just kinda pick it up with the needle, (schoolteacher called it "putting on the scarf") ,its easier to me too. It looks the same in the end, but maybe its not and will have some consequense? is the other way better or its just a variation of how to do it?

judy, when i purl, i end up making 2 more stitches than before.. why is this happening? the row before is shorter than the row after!
pinkie24 2 years ago
well, you're doing something wrong. Be sure to put the needle in the stitch and wrap the yarn around once. If you do that on every stitch you'll be o-k. You must be wrapping the yarn around twice or purling into the stitch twice somewhere. Watch my video and go slow.
Good luck.

oh you are right! thank you judy!!

0:38 I always have troubles doing the "pulling away" at 0:38, my left line would be so tight till it's hard to pull it off my left needle... I guess practice make perfect, I hope!
tareginda 3 years ago
yes, practice does make perfect. I hope by now it's coming along easier. keep at it and try not to hold your yarn so tight. good luck.
knittingtipsbyjudy 2 years ago
make sure that you push your stitches on the lieft needle closer to the tip of the needle as you work along the rows , it oftne makes the knitting easier to pull off :)

Judy, thank you so much, but i am still having an issue. i am making a scarf and need to Purl 2 then Knit 2. Its not working i think i am putting my lose yarn on the worng side. thank you!
camrondearing 3 years ago
The yarn goes in the back for knitting, in the front for purling. Knit 2, bring the yarn in front. Purl 2, put the yarn in back. Good luck. Keep practicing and happy knitting!

oops ignore my other question. i forgot everyone uses thier left hand to hold the stitches. hahahaha so ya just forget about that question. thx
fluffy2700 3 years ago

When you purl make sure you put the needle in the front of the stitch and make sure the yarn is also in the front. Keep practicing.
