Learn How to Purl Stitch in the Absolute Beginner Knitting Series by Studio Knit

It may seem a little intimidating but with a few simple tips, you can easily master this technique and learn how to sew perfect corners every time.

One of my crafting goals that I set for myself way back at the beginning of the year was to learn how to spin. I had used a spindle on and off for a while, and felt that it was finally time to step it up a notch and try spinning with a wheel. It took a few bumpy starts, but once I got the feel for it I knew that I was completely hooked. I've been spinning up yarn faster than I can use it, and have gotten quite the ever-expanding fiber collection already! However, the one thing I have noticed is that I am still in the learning process for spinning with a specific weight of yarn in mind. So far, I have been spinning away, happy to see how the fiber twists up and plies together - all with no specific end goals or projects in mind. But for now, I am left with many skeins of yarn ranging from light sport all the way up through super bulky. So far, I've found myself spinning from 4oz. batts and rovings, which means that my finished product is going to be a single one-of-a-kind skein. This makes it tricky when it comes to using up my handspun yarn. I don't want to fuss with too many gauge swatches to find out what weight of yarn I have, since it is already a limited quantity. This is when I turned to wraps per inch as a tool to help me gauge my yarn!

My Take on Brianna’s Outlander Capelet Designed for my online pals, the Stichenachs. Inspiration credit here (https://twitter.com/OutlanderCostum/status/10795391241748...) and here (https://twitter.com/OutlanderCostum/status/10794422055996...), based on an original garment (https://www.etsy.com/listing/84100565/made-to-order-the-o...) designed and sold by Knitsome Studio (https://www.etsy.com/shop/KnitsomeStudio) on Etsy. Pattern Notes • I used Cap Sease’s “Chinese waitress cast-on” with a crochet hook, as explained to me by Sarah Hauschka. I used an icord bind-off for tidy matched edges. You may use whatever you like, of course! Cap Sease: https://www.ravelry.com/designers/cap-sease • I’ve included a row of buttonholes parallel to the cast-on edge, and a second button hole at the top. This allows for multiple stylings. • Always slip the first stitch of each row purlwise with yarn in front for a tidy selvedge. (Indicated in the instructions as S1.) I included a description of a short-row technique that I pieced together based on others that are similar. My explanation is wordy and has no pictures. You are welcome to use any short-row strategy you like.
