How to Knit: Part 2 - Easy Purl Knitting!

Yes there's more to be learned! This is probably the second most important thing you're going to need to learn when it comes to knitting. We're learning how to purl in this video, so sit back and relax and forget everything you thought you knew about knitting.

All the ways to combine knitting and purling:

so grateful. you are the clearest knitting teacher on the internet.

You are a fantastic teacher. My 97 year old motherinlaw is an experienced knitter so I decided it would be a good activity to do with her. She is not a patient teacher. So I watch your videos then ask her to show me. It makes her happy and reduces my stress😂

I’m so impressed with how well you explain everything. I tried reading a book about how to knit and it felt like a whole different language. This is so much better and I was surprised how easy you make it to learn the purl stitch

This is a new hyperfixation for me as someone with raging adhd and your clear and concise videos that I’ve watched so far have been more than helpful in my quick learning about all this. Appreciate it

I'm so glad I found this channel as a beginner. The videos are so well-made and thoughtful!

Hi, I’m 62, just decided to learn to knit. I found your channel and you’re brilliant, thanks so much for such a great explanation and teachings. ❤

[nicoletortosa]

When he said Congratulations I felt so proud 😹 . I’m truly enjoying learning to knit from your channel

I'm so grateful for your videos! I'm 72 years old, and only learned the knitting stitch from my grandmother years and years ago when I was a young child. I have bought numerous books on knitting, but they were just too confusing to me. Now I can be a real bonified grandma that knows how to knit! Thank you!!!

I hadn't knitted since 7th grade and I'm 64 years old now. You were wonderful and easy to follow! Thank you so much!!

Hey hey R&J!
Just found your videos. I learned to knit in a high school class 50 years ago. Yes....we had crafts and art and music history classes. I say (almost) as a joke that knitting was the most useful thing I learned in high school. I appreciate your videos especially because you show the fun of knitting and make it welcoming to everyone. No need to worry about precise terms for technique or to debate the merits of one approach to casting on, cables, or managing floats. If a person is interested, the information and the arguments aren't hard to you can just knit merrily along and have the joy of wearing, using, or giving something that you made. Thanks for teaching and for spreading the word.

Lifelong crocheter here! I've tried different knitting videos to learn the other side of fiber arts, but I could never understand it. You are the first teacher who made it make sense for my crochet-locked brain 🥰

Hey there Mr. R.J. I watched this video and stopped worked the pearl stitches then started to cry. I tried knitting 10 or 12 years ago and couldn't get the hang of it and just gave up. I wanted so much to learn, I watch Knit and Crochet Now on t.v., I have been a avid crocheted since eight, I love the knitted patterns and I decided I would try one more time. I'm 57 and think I'm fairly smart but just failed at learning. I started a couple of days ago watching videos and was appalled at the useless videos I was finding. Your first on casting on is totally different and so easy and then it went on to knitting and I had it down before I knew it! I watched this one on the pearl stitch you showed how easy and explained it perfectly! Thank you thank you for doing videos! I wish I found your videos first! The others I watched were confusing and I almost gave up again but because of you I know if I watch your videos I am going to be a good knitter some day! Thanks again!

[sophiadoesntgetit]

your voice is so chill it makes me feel less stressed when i get confused

[lindabonskowski]

I just LOVE the methodical style you have, and not talking so fast that I have to keep stopping. You're easy to keep up with. I have done crochet for years, but didn't want to retry knitting until recently. You are excellent!!

[helianthe]

Aaah I literally just came from the store with knitting supplies, I was gonna follow along the first part. What a happy timing that you just posted the second part! I'll be able to follow both now, thank you so much for doing such clear and easy to follow vids!

[angelrader]

I'm am an absolute beginner and just watched part one and learned to knit!! I searched other videos, and I just want you to know that you are the best teacher I've found, so thank you for showing me how to knit!!

[margiet]

I have tried other videos but this was the best one I have found. He takes his time and doesn't rush through and goes over things several times. His voice is pleasant and it's like knitting with a friend.

[oliviaburgess]

I just want to genuinely thank you for being so nice and actually hands-on during your videos. Out of all the youtube videos I've looked at for the past two weeks, your knitting channel actually helped me start my first project. I am so thankful and keep up the work!
