This knitting tutorial shows how to create a purl stitch in slow motion! If you're looking for a step-by-step tutorial for absolute beginners, you've come to the right place. Both continental and english style techniques are shown in this video. The purl stitch is one of the foundational knitting stitches, and you might be surprised to learn that the back of a knit stitch is a purl, and the back of a purl stitch is a knit stitch! They go hand and hand and can be used together to create all kinds of different textures and techniques, like garter stitch, ribbing, moss stitch, and so much more! To create a purl stitch, bring the yarn between the needles to the front. Insert the working needle into the stitch, staying on the front side of the fabric. Wrap the yarn around the needle from top to bottom, then pull the loop through to the back. As you release the stitch from the holding needle, you'll see the characteristic purl bump. Repeat this process—bring yarn to the front, insert needle, wrap yarn, pull through, and release—to create a row of purl stitches.
