Purl Stitch

[victorycat26]

These videos are great. I taught myself how to knit from a book and I knit completely different. Those books never have enough step by step pictures. This video is great I just wish it was more zoomed in on the yarn. The current position of the camera is great I would just like a zoomed in version added. so the video would be twice as long. Thanks so much.

[rubberpickle1234]

SO COOOOOOL. :3 I'm so excited to do it.(:

[taximomuv3]

I have always wanted to learn how to knit, but the books make it look so confusing that everytime I try to learn I get fed up and quit. Watched this video ONCE and how to do the purl stitch 'clicked'. thanks for a great video!

[elaisias]

No more holes! Beginner knitter, here, and I've been struggling with switching between knit and purl, wondering what I was doing wrong. This was great.

[Heolinhtinh]

thank you so much. very helpful x x

[blancalouise]

wait..... this is how i knit. o.o so I've been doing the wrong thing this whole time?

[pawz139]

thank you! a very easy to follow video!

[gabyg1594]

my friends were explaining this to me for over 30min and they were being so vague about instructions. Your videos are awesome, now it seems so much simpler :'D

[Vanque333]

I was wondering why it wasn't flat on the back!!

[yellowkitten33]

Thank you! 

[Branimaniac]

Fantastic. I just started knitting, and was terrified of switching to Purl. Not anymore!

[weemegals]

v only been knitting for 2 days and i only know how to do the knit stitch but i was sturglin with the purl stitch but thanks to u iv mastered it. thank u so much. :)

[claresmansfield]

Thank you very much knitwhich!!!!! x x x

[slimjim7285]

Thank you very much for the vid!! <3

[cottencandybunny222]

the "on top" really helped and bring your string foward my book never said that and i got a bunch of holes in my ribbing!

[cottencandybunny222]

It helps! i'm lucky to find this or i  never would learned to purl

[cottencandybunny222]

It helps! i'm lucky to find this or else i would NEVER learned to purl

[MadameDiableret]

thank you so much. been trying to figure out purl for so long from books. couldnt get the hang of it but your video explained it beautifully to someone who is a natural crocheter. :)

[briannagarrard]

Super helpful!! Thank you so much for slowing it down =D

[cathiespins]

Thank you so much. So clear and understandable.

[Auronlu7912]

Thank you!!! This was so helpful!! :)

[technologiclove]

that was EXTREMLY helpful, thanks a bunch for uploading this

[AlpacaJo]

Perfect! Trying to teach myself how to knit my beautiful alpaca yarn. All I needed to know for now--no more no less. Got it in 2 or so minutes!!

[wowza191]

This has helped me so MUCH! Thankyouu :)

[PacMan73020]

OMG! I could kiss you, Knit Witch! I recently just started to learn how to knit and I've been trying to figure out how to purl for for a while now and I was about to give up, but you have made it so clear and easy to understand! Thank you!!! You're awesome!

[kamaraline33]

THANKS SO MUCH I never ever got how to purl, and i have been knitting since i was a little girl! I finally get it. :)

[SkylarkInTheSky]

Thanks so much for the vid!

I don't really get how to "bring it through the back"...

[RareFrog11]

Thank you so much for this video! I didn't know why I was getting that little space until you showed me that I needed to move the yarn forward before purling...no where did it tell me to do that...THANKS so much and your way easy video to follow...

[alicorn2]

Thanks - I've just learned to knit and got confused whether the purl got wrapped clockwise or counterclockwise ... :) Now I know!

[mychemroxsmysoxs]

I like thess vids because the camera angles are perfect! :) thanks!

[lisa3224]

I am a beginner and I want to thank you for posting this. I have been trying to figure it out with a book and your video has really helped me out and I know how to do it now!!! Thanks

[rebldowney]

This video has been so helpful! I have been trying to figure out the purl stitch for a while and failing miserably. Thank you so much! Your videos are very helpful. :o)

[amberjoelene]

Thank you, books just don't do the purl stich justice, now I am able to do so much more with my projects, sooo excited!!! :}

[sheralania]

Awesome! Thanks so much for this!

[sarahscareAH]

ohh no wonder i was having troubles when i tried to knit to purl in the same row coz i wasnt pulling the yarn back/front. hahah

thanksyou!

[tkhouston4067]

Wow, that helps a lot. The close up video is much ,more helpful than trying to learn from a book. Thanks for posting.

[M1G34]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[coolcherrycreem]

thank you! I had never pulled the yarn toward me after my knit stitch and vise-versa. Very helpful!

[taraflo94]

thank you thank you thank you thank you!!!!

[u62philo]

Thank you so much, Knit Witch. I had been having a terrible time making knit and purl stitches in the same row... but now I see how the yarn has to be moved. Now my project is going smoothly thanks to your great video!!!

[notquiteanitgirl]

Thanks for this - it was so easy to understand!

[razclep27]

I am so appreciative of the time you take to make these!!! Thank you for posting them- these are teh best online video tutorials for me- simple, helpful and not too verbose. :) THANK YOU!

[flcntrygirl]

This has to be one of the easiest purling demonstrations I have found. Thank you so much for taking the time to explain it so patiently and carefully.

[Ballira]

Just want to say thank you for taking the time to make the video..... and working over a dark background..... and being concious of where your hands are. XD

I've had to scan through a lot of videos just to see how exactly this stitch is done and everyone is always either working over a bright surface that the yarn blends into or their hands are in the way of the camera.

So thank you again! =D

[ChibiLaLena]

Thank you so much for this video. I was getting the holes and couldn't figure out why. ^_^

[elanadavis]

That was a great tutorial! The verbal and visual simultanously helped tremendously!

[SweetRefreshment]

thank you very much..everyone ese made it difficult to understand

[rronceros]

The Knit Witch is the best. You have taught me to bind off and to purl, which I have been doing wrong for years. Thank you!!

[Emmehx]

Ahhh thank you so much :D It's great the video has commentary and you take things slowly. :D

[bratty86]

thank so much I have been trying to learn how to purl all day

[bloodymissb]

Thank you for this, it was easy for me to follow and I'd learned to do it within seconds where other examples I could not see what they were doing. Thanks, this is an excellent video. :)

[silkorganza]

EXCELLENT clip! You used a slower pace, larger needles and patience. Knitting is not hard but with Purl stitch you have to slow down at first!!!

[Pink3Snails]

Thank you so much for the simple explanation! I just started knitting and got so confused by the instructions in my book.

[alissard]

i finally understand!!! thank u!

[phbppd]

i am a beginner and this video was great . thanks for going slow and i got it .

[phbppd]

yes thank u for taking it slow. sure helped me out.

[thejennfinch]

Thank you so much for posting these videos! I don't think I would be knitting without these. Yours are the easiest to follow (especially for me- I have no aptitude for this but I want to very much!)

[lelehuna]

Thank you so much Knit Witch...you have the best visual and verbal explanation! This totally makes sense...off to try this stich! Thanks again!

[blackout112680]

This was really helpful!! Having to move the yarn to the front was new to me.

[ViolinistFTW]

Thank you :D this helped so much!

[misschicab]

thank you!!!

[omgitsesther]

After watching about 4 purl stitch videos, yours was far by the best one and you actually slowed down enough for me to understand how simple it really is. Thank you! :)

[futballchix]

omg, thank you so much for the explanation!

[runswithsoda]

Thank you! So clear and helpful!

[caliiangel]

Thank you so much! I was trying to get this from a book which was impossible...terrible illustrations! :)

[JRSonday]

Thank you so much! Great video, and THANK YOU for going slowly!! I got it IMMEDIATELY.

[deboraheubanks]

Yes, thanks so much. I can follow it now that I've seen it done. and slowly. Thanks also for pointing out to bring the yarn to the front and what happens if you don't.

[anabaenas]

So helpful!  Thanks for going slowly!

[Ahnyanka]

Thank you, knit witch and intrawebs. :) I'm not sure if I got it but I'll do a couple of rows and see the turnout.

[wendellwoo29]

I LOVE YOU>>>.... I use to be able to knit when I was younger... taught my self crocheting.. thought I would start knitting again.. well isn't like riding a horse...I have a book, but it is not as good as your video... AWESOME>>>

[appylover98]

so easy thanks

[JessikaAnneR]

What a wonderful video and great use of the internet! Thank you so much.

[aprilacus0]

I've tried learning from a book, but I learn better by demonstration.

Thank you for posting!

[cmholm1]

Very helpful!!

[ChristynH]

THANK YOU! especially for going slowly and being patient!

[TheQueenOfPop93]

i've been trying to learn how to make a purl stitch from a book, and wow this is sooo much better! Thanks so much for posting! i finally know how to make a purl stitch! =)

[mlynne91]

Easiest way I've ever had it shown to me! Thanks so much!

[wendyalexandra]

Great video!

[SquidViscous]

Much more helpful to me than trying to figure it out from a book :)

[russianfantastico]

Your video was so great. Thanks!

[vixen4u]

Thanks heaps that was so much easier the way you showed it and explained it as well. Once again thankyou!!!

[xMELONxBOMBx]

[Ree03]

[kitchenroyd]

[foreveramber925]

[bekgoff926]

Thank You sooooooooooooo much! You are the only video that is helpful on here!

[bekok0]

[Kisis3]

This was so explicit in showing how to do the purl stitch! Thank you!

[pictureframeperfect]

God, you really are the ONLY video that taught me! I swear I looked at every single other one. Thank you thank you thank you!!!

[nicksnizzle]

Thank you so very much! I was following directions from a book, and couldn't figure out why my piece was ending up with all of these little holes! Thanks for showing me the correct method.

[betny08]

great! thanks (:

[KnittersKorner]

Thanks so much!!

[KnittersKorner]

Thanks so much! I was having trouble with this last night as I was attempting to make a pawpring design washcloth using the garter stitch and purl stitch. And I ended up with a big hole in my knitting!!

<33

[kiparissi]

Thank you deeply!

[abisoose10]

thank you this helped me a lot :)

[TheUsedisLife]

ive been knitting for years now, and i could never understand how to purl but this helped me a lot.[: thanks for putting this up.!

[moocowleg]

thanks man

[sara35ish]

great job, this really helped!

[88lovesongs]

Thank you! Good basic video. I am still learning to knit and was not sure I was doing the purl stitch correctly. This video really helped!

[Katemonster128]

You are a godsend!!! I knew I was doing it wrong but just couldnt figure out how. Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!

[tayloriscrazy]

Finally! A video where the instrtor is talking you to death and you do the steps simply!

[ilovebeatlessx]

You did a great job on your videos, thanks! (:

[fizgig0]

Thank you so much! Your tutorials are wonderful! I am so happy to have found them.

[erinwiley]

thank you- this is like having a mom on the computer ;) I needed help and it's too difficult having mom explain it long distance over the phone!

[fromthisgirl]

Thanks so much for this, it's a huge help to actually see it done.

[hummingbirdlover]

I knew I wasn't doing this right so thought I'd look up to see if there was a video demonstration of the purl stitch. Thank you so much for posting this and now I"m going to rip out my work and start again doing it RIGHT!!  I bookmarked your website. Like kjestice, I am learning to knit from a book but sometimes you just need that video to clear up misunderstandings. The book did not even mention the yarn between needles to switch between K and P.

[tully2shoes]

Thank you so much for this instructional video. Now I can finally purl!

[tenbearsandahalf]

First time I watched this I understood and purl stitched. I'm no fast learner, this video is awes. Thanks!

[lifeisjustalineup]

Thank you so much! I have been trying to learn how to knit, and not having much luck. This has helped so much!

[kjestice]

I tried to learn this stitch from a book. Needless to say .. it didn't work. Thanks so much for this.

[beachbum625]

AWESOME, thank you very much!

[CuriousCK]

GREAT VIEW AND CLARIFICATION

THANKS

[CuriousCK]

GREAT VIEW AND INSTRUCTIONS. THANKS

[archandia]

AT LAST! This was just the video I needed. Thank you, THANK you for posting this. <3

[littlered3290]

THANK YOU!!!

[wikimere]

Hallelujah! Now I can do more than a garter stitch. Merci beaucoup

[aliflyaway]

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

[blueway9]

Thyank you very very much I had the hardest time with getting this stitch right.:-D

[cardine899]

The first explanation out of a huge search to be actually helpful. Thank you so much!

[frekklefayce]

Thank you! This video made the purl stitch very easy to understand!

[IAmNotAverage]

Thank You so much! I had a book, but I just couldm't get it. Your explanation was wonderful. : )

[Pixiegirl121]

Thank you for this. You make it easy to understand. Much appreciated.

[clumsygirl131313]

thank you for making this video! im making baby booties and the instructions said to purl. I didn't know what that was until i saw this, thanks!

[Demonstempest]

I love you videos. My fashion design teacher tried to teach us how to knot but all she did was give out a bad xeroxed pamphlet, and then demonstrate the garter stitch. You're a much better knitting teacher.I'm gonna show these videos to my friend so that she won't be so frustrated doing homework.

[Yokisano]

This is amazing. My friends tried to teach me to knit, but they couldn't explain it to me well enough and did not have the patience to sit there with me. I will be sure to use you for further reference and quick reminders. You explained it slowly and very clearly. You basically taught me the beginners knitting in four minuites. thank you, Knitwitch.

[katherinewong86]

thannk you!

[kittybear24]

i felt,crochet,spin and am beginning to knit.I really love how you teach i usually prefer to sit with a friend and have them walk me thru so they can catch a mistake as sooon as it happens.watching this is the next best thing.you explain it so clearly and demonstrate it slow but not so slow that your bored.this really helped me get the purl stictch after a week of practicing just knit/garter stictch.

thanks!

[redrocerxobkcalb]

Thank you so much for this video! I always knew how to do knit stitches but I never knew how to purl!

Thank you! (:

[sailorknightwing]

Oh my God. I've been purling wrong. No wonder my ribbing doesn't work. Thank you.

[DeadStitches]

Thank you so much! Thanks to you, I realize I've been doing BOTH the knit stitch wrong! I'm self taught through books, and don't know anyone else who knits, so this is as close to watching another person while I knit that I can get.

[Sneakingitsideways]

Brilliant video - thank you so much.

[hotnspicy22]

Thanks! This was very helpful!

[caravantea]

Thank you! That's so much easier to understand than diagrams and explanations! Now it's not at all intimidating!

[tricyclesinskiiiirts]

I recently discovered that I've been doing my purl stitches wrong since I first learned to knit back in January. Thank you so much for helping me fix my problem!

[SeeaFerguson]

ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!! This is GREAT! I am so excited to make my first project using this stitch. THANK YOU!

[greaser5564]

[lcyeiser]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! This beginning knitter has been trying to figure the knit 2 purl 2 thingy all afternoon, unsuccessfully. With your terrific instruction, I know exactly what I was doing wrong!! Thank you!

[RubyEleanor]

Thank you!!! I'm making some baby booties and this has really helped me learn how to purl. Ta!

[idesofmarch15]

ah, thank you! this video was extremely clear, I feel like it explained a step that most explanations skip, which is important for beginners learning to knit.

[nef2323]

Very clear, you really helped me out. Also, you go at a good pace which let me see what you were doing.

[MissVenomsKiss]

i have tried in vain to accomplish the purl stitch, i went to every knitting website imaginable, but one visit to youtube and seeing your viedo makes the purl stitch simple and easy! thank you so much, i can finally make that blanket for my boyfriend!!!!

[eascan]

Combining knit and purl finally makes sense! Thanks so much!

[dolphingirl515]

way cool. it finally clicked when you specifically compared the difference between the basic knit and the purl. thanks a bunch.

[sirhcregnig]

thanks! it saved me a trip next door to mt mum who is bisy makig mince pies and keeps getting flour on mt knitting ...love you mum

[startapper04]

OH!! I get it!! I've been trying all night to figure out how to purl through other videos and diagrams...and it's been so frustrating. This makes sense!!

[aprilmist13]

OMG! This made it sooooo much easier for me! Thank you for posting this video. I can do it now. (Books will only take you so far!)

[Angie3243]

thank you im 12 and for 3 years ive been just kniting. I want to make a sweater for my dog.

[mayaoo]

YAY!!! iv ben kniting for 4 years and all i have ben doing till now is knit stitching skarfs :P

[jeccathenerd]

Thank you so much! I've been knitting in garter stitch for six years because I just couldn't get how to purl.

[blackcat138]

wow..afraid of "purl" no more!

[Jaq82]

Thank you! This is the 4th video I've watched on purling and this one finally did it. Thanks so much

[WCCxOH23]

Thank you SOOOO much!! I've been trying to learn how to purl from diagrams in books and on the web but they were so confusing-so now ive finally got it-and im really excited!!!!lol=D

[emtheeviltwin]

Thanks so much!!! I'm a beginning knitter and all I can do is the knit stitch. Now I can finally do a stockinette stitch! Thanks!

[iablublurr]

THANKS!!

[topher556]

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

i learned how to knit forever ago but the lady who taught me never got around to the purl stitch for some reason...it's been bugging me for years lol

[zengirl41]

I recommend your little video to people trying to learn the purl stitch on their own all the time. You do a great job, not just in explaining the purl stitch, but in comparing it to the knit stitch and showing the bumps on the front and back for each stitch. Thanks!

[vixen904]

I am a beginner and this video has helped me master the purl stitch. Thanks!!

[gruenegal]

Thanks, this was very helpful to a beginner!

[comedygirl92]

Tahnk you this was really helpful!

[batcavity]

Thank you. :)
