The Purl Stitch
This week I finished my first purl stitch scarf! The purl stitch is really quite simple, its the knit stitch done backwards. What I really love about this scarf is the stripe pattern!
Purl how to:
Stripe how to:
1. Knit one row, purl the next. Do this for ten rows.
2. To get the stripe effect I duplicated the tenth row. For example if my tenth row was purl I did a second row of purl. This alternates which side the “knit look” is on.
3. Continue repeating step one and two until you have the desired length of your scarf. Don’t forget if you finish your scarf on a purl stitch you need to do a purl cast off.
