Sl 1st st pwise

what does this mean?

#2

It means slip the first stitch purl-wise. To do that you stick the right needle right into the first stitch as if you’re going to purl and slip it to the left needle.

Here’s a video showing you both purl-wise and knit-wise. The one you want to learn is about halfway through the video.

And purlwise/knitwise only refers to how you insert the needle, not where the yarn is.
