Norwegian Purling Method

No one at my 3 local yarn shops had ever heard of this method. I cameacross a description online, and, after much confusion, and the help ofone of the brilliant minds at my LYS (Local Yarn Shop), we finally gotit!  A Norwegian friend has confirmed, “Yes, this is how the purlstitch is done!”

What’s mind blowing about this method is that it’s a purl stitch worked with the yarn in back of the needle. (!) Apparently, this is the most common method used in Denmark and Switzerland.

The trick to doing this right is to bring the rightneedle behind the working yarn before diving down into thestitch, or you end up with a YO between stitches.
