Knitting abbreviation - PTFL

Knitting abbreviation PTFL stands for purl through front loop. It is not a term you will encounter often since purling through the front loop is the basic purl stitch.

To make this stitch, insert the right-hand needle into the working stitch from right to left, the tip of the right-hand needle will point left and towards you, wrap the yarn around the right-hand needle and pull through the stitch, sliding the worked stitch off the left-hand needle and leaving the new stitch on the right-hand needle.
