Different knitting techniques
Altering between knitted and purled stitches creates different knitting patterns. Below you’ll find an overview of these patterns.
When knitting stitches you keep the yarn behind your piece and when purling stitches you keep the yarn in front.
Altering between knitted and purled stitches on the same row creates a Rib – remember to switch the yarn from behind to the front as you go along.
