Purled stitches
Purled stitches are the opposite of knitted stitches. If you knit all rows you’re knitting in what’s refer to as garter stitch, if you knit 1 row and then purl 1 row you’re knitting in stocking stitch.
Hold the needle with the stitches in your left hand. Keep the yarn in front of your piece when purling stitches.
Put the right needle through the first stitch on the left needle from behind (from the top) and remember to keep the yarn in front of your piece.
Now put the yarn over the right needle and keep the yarn in place with your left index finger.
Put the right needle and the yarn through the stitch on the left needle from behind to create a loop on the right needle.
Slip the stitch off the left needle and tighten the new stitch on the right needle with your index finger.
Repeat until the end of row. To continue, place the needle with the stitches in your left hand and repeat.
