Knitting: LPT (left purl twist)
In knitting, LPT stands for Left Purl Twist — a small twist or cross worked on the purl side of the fabric (or involving purl stitches) that leans to the left.
It’s often used in textured or cable patterns where stitches twist around each other without needing a cable needle.
