  • Thank you SO much, learned to purl stitch in the record of 6 seconds. Thank you so much! 

  • @coolsteven2 Six seconds!? That must be a record!

  • Your left thumb looks cool!(:

  • @TheAlejandraaaa Erm...thanks?

  • Can you go to the back and stitch it there? You are doing it in the front, but will it still be the same shape and size?

  • @Mubarak635 If you purl through the other loop, it's referred to as 'purling through the back loop' or 'pbl' for short. It results in a twisted stitch. I did a video on knitting and purling through the back loop.

  • This was very helpful. Thank you! I was taught the knit stitch, but I was never shown the purl stitch. :) I have the hang of it now. Thanks again for posting this.

    

  • it sounds like theres a cat purring in the background!

  • I don't  understand how to "catch" the loop. I'm following how you do it, and thought I got it, but it just drops the stitch.

  • I dont understand!

  • @12345iheartvampires

  • @12345iheartvampires Hmmm...practice practice practice!
