Introducing Purl Soho Video Tutorials!
If a picture is a worth a thousand words, how many for a video? A whole lot! Which is why we are so thrilled to announce our latest endeavor… Purl Soho video tutorials!
Our idea to create and share instructional videos comes from the very heart of what we love to do: spread the joy of crafting. We strive everyday to empower our readers and customers with the tools to make the imaginary real, to inspire that “aha!” moment when everything becomes clear.
Our first four videos explain common knitting increases and decreases: knit two together, knit front and back, make one right and left, and slip slip knit (above). In each video tutorial Laura walks step-by-step through the new skill, covering common uses and abbreviations and leading you to your own personal “aha!” moment.
PS: We will be adding more video tutorials regularly and would love to hear your suggestions. What knitting, crocheting, sewing or embroidery technique do you want to see in video? Let us know!
There’s a pattern on Ravelry called Pegggys simple shawlette.
there’s a decrease row for asymetrical scarf.
Would you have a video explaining these instructions.
k2,pass first stitch over second knit stitch,knit 1 more stitch,pass previous stitch over knit stitch..
i had asked for emails to discontinue from your site but that’s because I find many of your patterns very advanced, and i was getting email every day.
Hello, Madelene!
Thank you for writing in! Unfortunately, we don’t have a video for this decrease. This decrease is worked just like a bind-off. You’ll knit 2 stitches, pass the first stitch over the second and let it drop off your needle. Then you’ll knit 1 and pass the previous stitch over the new one and let it drop off your needle. If you have further questions please let us know!
Also, are you still receiving our emails? If you are and would like us to stop, just let me know and I’ll take care of it for you.
Best,
Kumeko
Hermosa explicacion para la manga ranglan..Gracias x compartir ideas
I love your projects; they are very inspiring. I am a beginner and would love to see more video. It helps if the background is well lit and the yarn is nice and bright. Also, if the knitter takes her time.
thanks
Your video tutorials are very well done. Thank you!
Just starting your pattern for the Top-Down Shawl Collar Cardi. How about a video on “cable cast on”?
Hi Pamela,
Thanks for your suggestion! At the moment we don’t have the resources to do a tutorial on this but I will mention it and maybe we will make one in the future! Thanks again for writing us about this!

Your videos are very clearly done – thank-you for the great resource. Is there a chance that you might tackle steeking on video at some point soon?
Hi Karen,
It’s quite possible! Stay tuned!
