She's knitting and purling through the back loop and picking the purl underneath the yarn. It's not twisting the stitches so just knit and purl like normal..i think. Looks nice though
I love this pattern, but I really can't tell what stitch you're knitting with the way you're holding your needles. It seems there are so many people knitting this way nowadays.... I would love to knit a hat for my baby granddaughter, but it's so confusing.
If the yarn is held in front to make the stitch is still a purl, if it's held in the back it's knit. I knit this way, but it really isn't the method that would make it hard to follow.
The first row is purl, but it's sitting the opposite way to the way we do it in the uk as she's doing it the contental style. The second row is plain but because she's knitting that way she has to knit into the back of the stitch so as to not twist the stitches. Does that help you understand?
@@robyntaylor7476 I'm not sure this is correct. I understand that whether you knit Continental style (wool in left hand, I think) or wool in right hand, the resulting stitch is the same. Knitting into the back of the stitch gives a different result as in a twisted stitch.
I would normally agree, but if you look closer at the way she's doing the purl stitches you'll see what I did. I know because that's how I prefer to knit continental purl but it does mean the stitch NEEDS to be knitted through the back of the stitch for it to NOT be a twisted stitch.
