CLOSER LOOK at the Beaded Rib Stitch Pattern
The thin verticle Stockinette ribs columns are separated by alternating knit and purl seed stitches, giving it extra texture and helping it to lie flat.
This is not technically a reversible pattern because the right side of the work displays the design, but the wrong (back) side is not identical. However, you can see that the differences on each side are both visually interesting and look great.
PROJECT IDEA with the Beaded Rib Stitch
Inspired by my new Knit Stitch Pattern Book, this scarf is an easy knit and purl design. Enjoy knitting 5 textured patterns which include Beaded Rib, Double Moss, Tile Squares, Diagonal Zigzag, and Lattice Seed Stitch. Additionally, this scarf is edged in the simple Garter Stitch on every panel.

CAST ON AND CAST OFF BEADED RIB STITCH
When beginning and ending Rib Stitch Patterns, you may wish to do so “in pattern.” This creates the ribbed texture along the edge for knitted items like sleeves and necks, rather than a solid horizontal edge.
Casting On: Alternating the Long-Tail Cast On Knitwise and Cast On Purlwise stitches in pattern to begin your project.
Casting Off: Alternating the Basic Cast Off Knitwise and Cast Off Purlwise gives the finished edge the same texture as your ribbing.
