HI,
Does the bold part mean that I KNIT each stitch at the edges? Or does it mean I knit the purls and purl the knits at the edge?
THANK YOU!

It just means that you will knit each edge stitch every row. Keeps the edges from curling so badly when you are tryin to seam it up. Not to mention, it makes a wonderful seam allowance guide.

Yep, just knit each edge stitch every row.:knitting:

Garter stitch is knitting every row, so I’d say you knit one edge stitch at each end, on every row.

If you knitted the purls and purled the knits you’d be doing moss (seed) stitch.
