PURLING Meaning and
Definition
-
Purling is a term used in knitting and crochet to describe a specific stitch technique. It is a method of creating a raised or textured pattern by working the stitches in a particular way.
In knitting, a purl stitch is made by inserting the right-hand needle from right to left through the front loop of the stitch on the left-hand needle. The yarn is then brought forward, between the two needles, and wrapped counterclockwise around the right-hand needle. This new loop is slipped off the left-hand needle, completing the purl stitch. Purling is often used as the opposite stitch to knit, creating a bumpy or rough texture in contrast to the smooth appearance of the knit stitch.
In crochet, purling is referred to as the "purl stitch" or "reverse single crochet." Instead of working into the top loops of the stitches, as in a traditional single crochet, the hook is inserted from front to back around the post of the stitch. The yarn is then yarn over and pulled through the loop on the hook, completing the purl stitch. This creates a raised texture and is commonly used for edging or decorative details in crochet projects.
Overall, purling is an essential technique in both knitting and crochet, offering versatility and creating different textures and patterns in various projects.
