Rachel may be an "expert" but she is doing the purl stitch incorrectly. She is mistaken when she inserts her needle into the stitch; this causes the stitch being purled to be twisted. While this is an effective stitch in some patterns, it is not the proper way to make an even knit stitch on the reverse. If you notice, the back of her purl stitch fabric has twisted stitches. It is not a true stockinette stitch. Just a little note.

agree with anonymous comment that the purl stitch is twisted.

There is a much easier way to do this and a faster way. I have never seen this done this way. Do you know the other way?

I wanted to point out that they say that Stockinette stitch provides a "professional" touch to knit garments, and they show Rachel Ong's scarf as an example. This is flawed because stockinette stitch usually causes flat-laying garments such as scarves or blankets to "curl" in at the sides. The scarf would not be laying that smoothly in Stockinette.

Fab! Too all of you who need more instruction, I suggest buying the S'n'B book and then watching this video. To the person who commented on Rachel's twisted purl stitch, I disagree with you as Debbie Stoller of S'n'B instructs exactly the same way.

These videos are so helpful! They have given me great confidence in learning to knit. I've seen most of the knitting ones already and I've watched several of them over and over. I am going to begin my new hobby at once. Muchas Gracias!!

Tue, 04 Mar 2008 13:39:09 GMT

I agree with the previous comments. The stitch being knitted here is not a traditional purl stitch, but a twisted purl. It would appear in instructions as 'purl tbl', which means 'through the back of the loop'. I wonder though if it's something to do with nationality: in Britain, what is being referred to here as 'Stockinette stitch' is known as 'Stocking stitch'. so I wonder if this twisted purl is an Americanism?

i've watched this video atleast a hundred times and still haven't learned jack! I know how to knitt but not purl and its not supposed to be this hard the video doesn't show how to start it properly on the secound row b/c shes holding the working needle in her right hand now not her left, i hate it and i give up

Sorry Brits.This twisted purl called a purl stitch isn't an americanism. We pearl normal just like you. I'm not really sure what this is. I came on here to figure out how to read a brittish pattern. I don't know how anyone can't figure out how to do what this video is demonstrating. The needles are so big it's like kindergarden or do you call it a garten?

FRUSTRATED NEWBIES: this video isn't quite right! The knit video is good, but this purl video has you purling in the BACK OF THE STITCH, which for this newbie was difficult and came out funky looking. I found another video that is much better - it even tells you when to move your yarn from front to back. FINALLY I'm able to purl and it looks great!!!Go to www.knittinghelp.com and click on "View Knitting Videos." Click on The Purl Stitch and then scroll down to The English Method. Hope this helps!
