How To: Knit the bamboo stitch pattern

A wonderful stitch to learn, explain/demonstrated great.

i couldnt totally tell if you purled off each pair together or split them up individually; im a new knitter; when i purled the pair off my circle got to tight to work then i looked again and i think you split each pair up on a purl; yes?how do i take out a goof up 2.5 rows on a circular needle, oh gosh;really want to finish this hat;

It is good for whatever you want to use it for and as you can see from the sample piece in the video it doesn't curl

I like this stitch, very simple but pretty too.

Is there somewhere I can see a left handed video for a bamboo stitch? Trying to figure out how to do some stitches with the other hand is pretty tricky.
