Daybreak shawl pattern by stephen west

Hello everyone! :stuck_out_tongue:

I am trying to knit the Daybreaak shawl for a KAL that I am in. It is hosted by the yarngasm and a homespun house podcast on Ravelry.

This would be my 2nd shawl. I am stuck on one of the instructions.

Thanks to anyone who could help!!

welcome to KH!

always a good idea to link to the pattern (in this case it’s at http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/daybreak )

and mention the specifics where you’re having issues. without breaking copyright and listing the whole pattern, which specific part/line/etc is giving you trouble?

Hello!

Sorry, I forgot to link it. Here is the link: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/daybreak

The part that I am having issues with is at the beginning
for a ws part.

It says to repeat the steps except do the opposite.

how do you purl through a back or front loop?

are there any videos for this?

Thanks

succinct directions from lion brand’s site: purling through the back loop twists the stitch. insert the right needle into the back of the stitch from back to front and continue to purl the stitch. ( with pictures at http://www.lionbrand.com/faq/93.html )

and a host of youtube videos at https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=purl+through+back+loop

past that tho, i’m not much help. it’s a nice design - good luck! :wink:
