Photos Comprising Knit Side Instructions

Purl row:

1. The white yarn is being carried and the green is being purled. This is a normal purl stitch.
2. The white yarn is pulled between the green yarn and the needle, on the purl side of the needle. A purl stitch is formed with the green yarn.
3. This is the continuation of the purl stitch in step 2, showing the white yarn wrapped over the green yarn.
4. This image shows the trapping of the white yarn a few stitches further on.
5. The last image shows the white yarn being held out of the way for a few purl stitches.
