Knitting: RPT (right purl twist)
In knitting, RPT stands for Right Purl Twist — it’s a small twist stitch that makes two stitches cross to the right, but with purl texture on the surface instead of knit.
It’s often used in textured patterns (like cables or twisted ribbing) to add subtle depth or a rope-like appearance.
