Description
Insert the right-hand needle into the stitch from right to left, exactly as if preparing to purl.
Detailed explanation
Pwise indicates the specific direction for inserting the working needle into a stitch. You enter the loop from right to left, bringing the right needle in front of the left needle, just as you would to make a standard purl stitch. This alignment is most often used when slipping stitches to maintain their orientation on the needle without twisting them.
