I've never seen a purl stitch done like that! 60 years I've been a knitter, and I thought I'd seen it all! 😮

Impossible to use when you’re working with thin yarn and tiny needles but may come in handy when using bulkier yarns!

[@10rowsaday]

Yes, it could be a bit tricky to find the loops to pick up when the yarn is very thin. The process becomes even more challenging when that thin yarn is also dark, but in most cases, this method works like a charm. Happy knitting!

[@Ruckelhaxan]

I used graphite gray fingering yarn with 3.5 mm needles and realized it was a Mission Impossible, and went for just a few rounds of a traditional, tubular cast on instead. Kudos for your excellent, instructional videos!

[@10rowsaday]

@@Ruckelhaxan I agree - it is important to be flexible and choose any given method based on the yarn, needles and the type of project. It was very smart of you to use tubular cast on method instead. Happy knitting, my friend!

[@galeem713]

I just do my regular long tail cast on. Then Purl the first row. On the second row, I start my stockinette. No curl or extra thickness. And when I cast off, I Purl that row. Invisible and does not roll.

[@10rowsaday]

That's a great way to make the cast on edge flatter. Thank you, Gale :-)

[@bernadettesaumierberger3933]

Alot of work if you have many stitches

[@10rowsaday]

True, but it might be worth it if you don't want to add an edging.
