About the Seeded Rib Stitch Pattern
These ribs create a thick, textured piece of knitting. It is stretchy but holds its shape with the seed stitches between the rows of ribbing. Also called the English Mock Rib, this is an easy-level project. I have a lot of great rib knit stitch patterns, so make sure to check those out, as well.
- Stitch Techniques: A series of easy knits and purls creates the stretchy ribbed pattern.
- Row Repeat: Knit up the Seeded Rib Stitch in a simple 2-row repeat.
- Reversible: This is a reversible pattern, meaning that on both sides of your work, the right and wrong sides look identical.
- Project Ideas: This is a great choice for knitting projects like simple hat brims and scarves since it adds a subtle bit of stretchy texture.

Cast On and Cast Off
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.
