"Purl wise" refers to the method of inserting the needle into a stitch for purling in knitting. When you work purl stitches, you insert the needle from back to front through the stitch on the left needle. This technique creates a "purl" stitch, which is characterized by its bumpy texture on the fabric's front side. Understanding this method is essential for creating various knit patterns and textures.

What does slip 1 mean in knitting?

There are two ways to slip a stitch, knit-wise and purl-wise. When in doubt, generally you should slip purl-wise. Insert the needle into the stitch to be slipped either as if to knit (knit-wise) or as if to purl (purl-wise). Then slide it off the left needle without pulling a new stitch through it. That's all there is to it. Here are some applications: For a tidy selvage edge, slip the first stitch of each row purl-wise. For a decrease that is the mirror image of a K2TOG, do an SSK (Slip, Slip, Knit). Slip one stitch knit-wise. Slip another stitch knit-wise. Slipping knit-wise gives the stitches a half twist. Now slip them both together back onto the left needle, passing them with the needles held tip to tip. Knit them together through the back loops.
