Knitting - Basic Purl Stitch (Continental Method)

Amazing Video Site

More free videos available online at www.knittinghelp.com Yarn is held in left hand. The middle finger (or index finger) is used to push the yarn down and to the right, to where the right needle can easily push it back through the stitch. This method requires the fewest hand movements of any purl method, and is consequently the fastest (with the exception, perhaps, of the "Combined Knitting Method" of purling--see below). This is the method I use in the Continental purl videos on this site. Videos where the yarn is held in the left hand, all have a pink icon.This method of purling, when combined with Continental Knitting (see my Knit Stitch Video), makes for a very fast ribbing.

The way you hold the yarn messed me up for several weeks after I first watched this video, about a year ago.

I NEED HELP! :( You taught me how to knit! I'm now learning how to do knots and bobbles, from the Knitting Encyclopedia, but I'm not clear. It says K1,P1,K1 in same st. I understand that part, but how to you move the needle and yarn around? I keep getting holes :( THANKS!

That is so weird. LOL. I'm learning to knit and I think I know the english method. I had no idea there were different ways to do the same stitch.Very clear, very cool. :)

Yea! I have FINALLY learned how to purl! Thank you so much for your uncomplicated instruction! I was starting to think that the knitting community was against me learning to purl!) You are a great teacher!

Great video! Thanks for getting me over a "stuck" spot! I'm getting back into knitting after 30 years and had a "senior moment" for K1 P1. It's good to see more people learning to knit. I was afraid it was becoming a lost art. Great job!

I've looked at so many videos on how to purl and didn't understand - your video is really great!
