If you look at the knitting quickly, it can be hard to know if it’s Garter Stitch or if it’s just Purls.
Method 1: Look at the Back
The quickest way is to look at the back side. If it’s just stockinette – knit stitches – then you know it’s purls.
If the reverse side looks the same, then it’s truly Garter Stitch.
About the Instructor: Jody Richards
Jody is the founder and lead editor of Knotions. She loves poring over stitch dictionaries and trying out new stitches. And while she likes all things crafting (well ok, except that one thing), yarn crafts are her true love (and she has the stash to prove it).
She’s a serial starter-of-projects and has a serious problem with finishing things without a deadline.
And don’t get her talking about hand-dyed yarns. You’ve been warned.
