We've shown you how to make a knit stitch. The other basic step is a purl stitch. You only need these two basic stitches to make any kind of project. Now, a friend we joined from Lupi Mango, New York will now show you how to make the purl stitch. To make a purl stitch, insert the working needle through the first loop back to front on top of your stationary needle. Wrap the yarn around the needle, counterclockwise, and pull the yarn back and through. Gently slip the loop off the stationary needle. You can repeat this to make more purl stitches along the same row.
