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.
KNITTING MATERIALS
Feel free to use any size yarn and needles for your creative project. My 1×1 Rib Stitch sample was created with size 7 US knitting needles and worsted weight yarn, along with a Tapestry Needle and Scissors.
