What is Purl stitch?
Abbreviations in Knitting Patterns
In knitting patterns, you can see knit stitch abbreviated as P. If you see a pattern that says “p1”, that means you should make one purl stitch. Or, let’s say you see a pattern that says, “p all” or “Row 2: Purl”. That means you should purl every stitch until the end of the row.
What do you need to knitting this project?
- Knitting needles (Choose a knitting needle size that matches the yarn you’ve chosen):
- straight knitting needle – for knit in rows
- double-pointed needles or circular needles – for knit in rounds
- Yarn (I recomended that beginners start with a worsted or bulky weight yarn)
- Scissors
- Stitch/place markers
- Tapestry needle
Buy on Amazon
