Question: what is the difference between knit stitch and garter stitch?
Answer: Every knit stitch looks like a purl on the back of it, and every purl stitch looks like a knit stitch on the back of it. Garter stitch happens when you flip the work and knit back. ... If you knit a row and turn it around, it lloks like purls from the back. This is because a purl stitch is the opposite of a knit stitch.
