Yarn is held in left hand. The middle finger (or index finger) is used to push the yarn down and to the right, to where the right needle can easily push it back through the stitch. This method requires the fewest hand movements of any purl method, and is consequently the fastest (with the exception, perhaps, of the "Combined Knitting Method" of purling--see below). This is the method I use in the Continental purl videos on this site. Videos where the yarn is held in the left hand, all have a pink icon.
This method of purling, when combined with Continental Knitting (see my Knit Stitch Video), makes for a very fast ribbing.

tyvm knittinghelp! I just started to learn and discovered almost immediately that CONTINENTAL is the way to go for me. It took me a long time to figure out how to purl until I saw your video. The books I have aer useless because diagrams are often bad and other videos shown here are awful. TY for a WELL DONE instruction with clear image and voice, etc. Much appreciated
thanks so much, I was doing this and was sure I was doing something wrong. I tried a half dozen ways to do it and really messed up my swatch before deciding to look it up on Youtube. LOL thanks again, Kitty
Thank you for a clear lesson on purling in the continental method. You use simple examples and use your words to the maximum benefit. I know I will refer to this continuously as I learn the to purl this way..
Wonderful video. Lighting is great which makes it so nice to watch and actually see what you are doing. Your instructions are wonderful. I have played around lately with the knit stitch, this looks interesting and certainly will practice. Sewingsuzie75
TKS! I tried to learn crochet and knitting on youtube and found crochet sooo much easier... I was giving up on knitting, but now I just have to try it once again! Great light, colors and video tutorial! ;)
thank you. I am learning knitting in school and I am trying my best, but it takes time to pick up on things. this video is very clear and easy to see and understand. woo hooo
Thank you so much for posting this!!! I was having difficulty doing the pearl stitch the continental way, and you explained it in a way that I finally got it! For me it is more comfortable to knit that way, if feels to awkward to do it with the working yarn in the right hand. Thanks!
I disagree. I was using the English method for years, ever since I first learned to knit. But then a Polish coworker showed me this method and once you get used to it, it's really much better. It's faster and allows a very even countrol of tension.
It also helps me because I have RSI in both wrists. Now, when one wrist gets tired, I can just switch to the other, allowing me longer work sessions.
