How to Knit: The Fisherman's Rib Stitch | Knitting Pattern & Tutorial for Chunky Ribbing

Also called the English rib, the Fisherman's rib is a chunky & reversible rib texture. This video tutorial will walk you through the technique step-by-step. First you will need to cast on an even number of stitches, then do a setup row consisting of just purl stitches. Then you repeat: Pattern: *p1, k1b Repeat from * until last 2 stitches, then p2 (Where k1b = a 'knit 1 below' stitch) To bind off, you can do the usual bind off technique, but every other stitch will be a k1b rather than a k: k1, k1b, pso *k1, pso, k1b, pso Repeat from * to end of row. (Where pso = pass the (k/k1b) stitch over) Try and bind off loosely, because the rib stitch is stretchy so you don't want the edges tight and restrictive.
