CAST ON AND CAST OFF CHEVRON 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.
HOW TO READ THE CHEVRON RIB KNITTING CHART
Further below in this post, you will receive a full graphic knitting chart within the printable pattern card. I have a great tutorial on how to read knitting charts, if they’re new to you.
Looking at this pattern chart, you can see how our Chevron Stitch emerges. First, notice that we are casting on in multiples of 12 stitches by looking at the bottom row of the chart. The vertical row details the knit and purl stitch pattern in an 8-row repeat. I hope this quick video looking at the pattern chart is helpful to you!
