CLOSER LOOK AT THE 1X1 RIB STITCH PATTERN

This 2-Row Repeat Knit Stitch Pattern has a really stretchy texture. It looks a lot like the Stockinette Stitch but it’s really super stretchy and is identical on both sides. On the right and wrong sides of the work, it looks exactly the same, making this a reversible pattern.

MATERIALS to Knit the 1×1 Rib Stitch Pattern

My sample was created with size 7 US knitting needles and worsted weight wool yarn. Feel free to use any weight yarn and appropriately sized knitting needles for your creative project.
