Purl Stitch Through the Back Loop (p tbl)
This stitch is completed in a similar fashion to the
purl stitch except instead of
purling with the working yarn loose underneath the
wrap, you make an e-wrap of the working yarn
underneath the current wrap. This is the type of
purl stitch used in the purl bind-off method.
This stitch will look just like the e-wrap stitch on the back of the
fabric and the front of the fabric will look just
like it does on the back of the fabric of the
e-wrap stitch.
Two different methods for creating a purl tbl stitch
are presented below. The result is the same; use
whichever one is easier for you.
- Pick up the wrap on the peg with your
knitting tool and hold.
- With your working yarn, e-wrap the peg.
- Place the wrap you are holding with your
knitting tool back on the peg so that it is on
top of the e-wrap you just made.
- Place the knitting tool above the top wrap
in the groove of the peg.
- Turn and slide the knitting tool down into
the grove under the top wrap.
- Grab the bottom wrap by circling around the
outside and then around its bottom catching it
as you slide the knitting tool up the groove of
the peg.
- Grab the wrap that you have brought to the
top with your fingers and pull up to take both
wraps off of the peg.
- Place the wrap you are holding in your
fingers on the peg.
- Pull the working yarn to tighten the wrap on the peg if necessary.
- Bring the working yarn in front of the peg,
below the existing wrap.
- Place the knitting tool above the wrap in
the groove of the peg.
- Turn and slide the knitting tool down into
the groove under the wrap.
- Grab the working yarn with the knitting
tool by circling around the outside and then
and then around the bottom catching the working
yarn as you slide the knitting tool up the
groove of the peg. This will create a new wrap.
- Grab this new wrap with your fingers and
pull up taking the wrap off of the peg.
- Twist the loop you are holding in your
fingers and place it on the peg.
- Pull the working yarn to tighten the wrap on the peg if necessary.
