PURL STITCH (P) FOR KNITTING
The classic purl stitch is present here by Same Elliott and Sidney Bryan, authors of How to Use, Adapt, and Design Knitting Patterns.
Hold the yarn and needles in the same way as for making a knit stitch. A purl stitch is the exact opposite of a knit stitch, producing a nubbly stitch to the front and a smooth V-like knit stitch on the opposite side. Alternate rows of knit and purl produce stockinette stitch.
