To start a purl row, you will need to use the knit stitch. With the yarn in front of the needle, insert the needle into the first stitch on the left-hand needle from back to front. Then, wrap the yarn around the tip of the right-hand needle clockwise and pull it through to the front of the stitch (1). Next, slide the old stitch off of the left-hand needle (2). You have now completed one purl stitch and started your purl row! Repeat these steps until you have reached the end of your row.
