How Do You Create A Twin Rib Knitting Pattern?
A twin rib knitting pattern creates a piece of work that is the same on both sides. This reversible pattern is simple to create and can be used to make attractive scarves, baby blankets or dishcloths. You can use the twin rib pattern for any project where both sides of the pattern will be seen and so should match. Cast on 6, 12 or 18 stitches. If you want a wider piece, cast on any multiple of six stitches since the twin rib knitting pattern is worked in six stitch units. Work row one by knitting three and purling three. Repeat this knit three, purl three pattern until you reach the end of the row. Begin row 2 by purling 3 and then knitting 3. Repeat this purl 3, knit 3 pattern until you reach the end of the row. Alternate these two rows until you reach the end of your piece. This simple repetition of knitting and purling will create a lovely twin rib knitting pattern. Cast off your stitches when you have reached the desired length.
