The Seeded Rib Stitch Pattern creates thick, textured rows. This 2-Row Repeat Knit Stitch Pattern is a simple combination of knits and purls. 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 and perfect for everyone who has completed my Absolute Beginner Knitting Series.

CLOSER LOOK at the Seeded Rib Stitch Pattern
Let’s take a closer look at our Seeded Rib Knit Stitch Pattern, seeing exactly how those knits and purls are knitted together to make this simple pattern. These ribs create a thick, textured piece of knitting that is stretchy. The Seeded Rib Stitch is a reversible pattern, meaning that on both sides of your work, the Right and Wrong sides look identical.
KNITTING MATERIALS
Feel free to use any size yarn and needles for your creative project. My Seeded Rib Stitch sample was created with size 7 US knitting needles and worsted weight yarn, along with a Tapestry Needle and Scissors.
