Step-by-step Instructions
Learn the 1/1 Right Purl Cross without using a cable needle.
It might seem a bit confusing at first — with steps like skipping the first stitch, starting from the second, dropping stitches, and picking one back up — but just follow the 6 steps carefully to work it.
Step 1: Work 2nd stitch on LH Needle
Insert the right-hand needle purlwise into the front of the 2nd stitch on the left-hand needle.
Step 2: Drop stitches
Drop the two stitches off the left-hand needle.
Step 3: Pick up loose stitch
Insert the left-hand needle into the loose stitch to pick it up.
Step 4: Slip stitch back
Insert the left-hand needle into the stitch on the right-hand needle from left to right, and slip it back onto the left-hand needle.
Step 5: Knit one stitch
With the yarn in back. Insert the right-hand needle knitwise into the first stitch on the left-hand needle, wrap the yarn counterclockwise around the right-hand needle, and pull it through to create a new stitch. Slip the old stitch off the left-hand needle.
Step 6: Purl one stitch
With the yarn in front. Insert the right-hand needle purlwise into the first stitch on the left-hand needle, wrap the yarn counterclockwise around the right-hand needle, and pull it through to create a new stitch. Slip the old stitch off the left-hand needle.
