Knitting a wrap and its stich, purling a wrap and its stitch
Hi there, I would be ever so grateful if someone would break it down for me in very simple terms how to knit a wrap and its stitch together and how to purl a wrap and its stitch together. I’ve read the article from knitty.com but I need detailed explanation of how to actually do it. I think I was able to get the purling side done – but only by luck you see, as I’m not sure if I’m doing it right. The knit part, when I do it I don’t seem to be working the wrapped stitches, but just accumulating wraps on one stitch, resulting in the purlside looking good and the wrapped stitches on that side decreasing, while the knitside has a giant bump and the wrap stitches are not decreasing. So if you understood all that and can break it down for me how to get this done I would so very very happy.

Thanks in advance!

Lisa
