A purl increase is made by purling into the front and back of a stitch. Use of this stitch allows the knitter to increase while maintaining the established pattern. Try this increase the next time you are faced with increasing into a purl stitch and give your knitting a professional touch!
I haven’t seen that before. Unfortunately, authors can use any abbreviations they like and not all adhere to the standard ones. Check the abbreviation list on the pattern and also check for any pattern errata on Ravelry. Happy knitting!
Is the purl increase sometimes shown as pi in a pattern?
E.g. K2, pi, k5, p7, k3;
