Hi guys, this is Claire Hudson of Wallet Play Designs and in today's video I'm going to show you how to create a twisted purl stitch. If you go over to the right side of our work you can see we have these twisted knit stitches. Now when you're working flat right sides and wrong sides of your rows you're going to want to twist your purl stitch on the back of that twisted knit stitch to maintain the twist in it. And in order to do that instead of simply purling your stitches normal which you would do like so you're actually going to locate the back loop of your purl stitch. I'm just going to twist our work here and you're going to go in purl wise rotate your work to the front and now purl that back leg and then remove that stitch from your needle. I'll show you that again so we've come to our next purl stitch and you're going to put your yarn in the front and you're going to rotate your work if it helps you can just switch it to the wrong side where you're looking at a twisted knit stitch. Now you're going to place your right hand needle and purl wise from right to left through that leg and then you're going to purl it and remove that from the needle. And if you stop and turn your work here you can see we've maintained that twist in our knit stitch from the back of our work. So that's how you create a twisted purl stitch. I hope this technique and video helps you guys out. Thanks so much for watching.
