CLOSER LOOK at the Beaded Rib Stitch Pattern
The thin 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.
KNITTING MATERIALS
Feel free to use any size yarn and needles for your creative project. My Beaded Rib Stitch sample was created with size 7 US knitting needles and worsted weight yarn, along with a Tapestry Needle and Scissors.
