Purl 2 together

Description

A fundamental decrease technique where two stitches are purled together as one to reduce the stitch count.

Detailed explanation

P2tog stands for “purl two together” and is a standard method for decreasing the stitch count. Commonly used on the purl side of stockinette stitch, this technique creates a right-leaning decrease when viewed from the knit side. It serves as the purl-side equivalent of the knit two together (k2tog).
