The Diagonal Spiral Rib Stitch Knitting Pattern creates textured slanted ribbing. This 18-Row Repeat Knit Stitch Pattern is really simple with just knits and purls but resembles more complicated cabling. Similar to the Diagonal Rib Stitch, this Spiral Pattern knits up even thicker for a great dimension and is stunning as a cozy scarf or pillow.
This knitting pattern is an easy level project. Keep reading to get all your materials, techniques, and free written pattern instructions to knit this pattern both flat on straight needles and in the round on circular needles. This stitch pattern is also available ad-free on page 71-72 of my Knit Stitch Pattern Book.

CLOSER LOOK at the Spiral Rib Stitch Pattern
Let’s take a close look at our Diagonal Spiral Rib Knit Stitch Pattern, seeing exactly how those knits and purls are knitted together to make this simple pattern. These ribs create a really thick piece of knitting. The Diagonal Spiral Rib Stitch is a reversible pattern, meaning that on both sides of your work, the Right and Wrong sides look identical.
