Today we’re knitting up the Reverse Ridge Knit Stitch Pattern. With a series of knits and purls, this 6 Row Repeat Knit Stitch Pattern is a reversible pattern that’s super stretchy, but unlike most rib stitches, this accordion stretch is horizontal.

CLOSER LOOK at the Reverse Ridge Knit Stitch Pattern
Let’s take a close look at our Reverse Ridge Knit Stitch Pattern, seeing exactly how those knits and purls are knitted together. Since our ribbed rows are horizontal, it’s really stretchy from top to bottom.
REVERSIBLE PATTERN
The Reverse Ridge knit stitch is a reversible pattern, meaning that both sides of your work, the Right and Wrong sides, are identical. This makes for a great pattern choice for knitted items that show off both sides of your work, like scarves or blankets.
