Stockinette stitch
To knit stockinette stitch, proceed as follows:
1st ROW
Knit all the knit stitches.
2nd ROW
Purl all stitches.
Always repeat these 2 rows.
PURLISH
Hold the cast-on needle in your left hand, with the yarn in front of the work. Insert the right needle, from right to left, from the front, into the first stitch on the left needle.
Wrap the thread around the right needle, passing it over and then under the tip of the needle, and hold it with your right hand along the right needle.
Pass the tip of the right needle through the stitch on the left needle and back under the left needle. The loop on the right needle forms a purl stitch.
Drop the stitch from the left needle and keep the new stitch on the right needle.
To purl a row, repeat these steps until all the stitches have been passed from the left needle to the right needle.
Turn the knitting, take the needle with the stitches with your left hand and knit the next row.
