Knit Tutorial: The Purl Stitch.

Hey Guys!
  Ok, so now we're moving on to the next stitch that will basically set you up to move on to basic knitting patterns. The purl stitch is what I like to call, the "bumpy looking stitch". Like the knit stitch, the purl stitch is the foundation of knitting because you will usually use this stitch in patterns. Now, on to the purl stitch...

1. First thing you want to do is to make sure when you are starting the first stitch on the first row is to keep the yarn in front of the needle.Then, insert the knitting needle like so.

See how the yarn is in front of the needle?

2. Wrap your yarn around the tip of the needle.

3. Move your yarn and needle through the loop making a new loop. Then slide the yarn off of the left needle. 

  It's pretty much a practice makes perfect. But once you get this and the knit stitch you can start with some basic knitting stitch patterns. But that's for another time! Good Luck!
