RIBBING BASICS
Ribbing is an incredibly versatile stitch. Alternating strips of stockinette stitch create a very stretchy ribbed texture that tends to crimp in on itself. Ribbing can be any combination of numbers. Common sets are 1x1, 2x2, and 4x2. Here I have demonstrated 2x2 ribbing. Ribbing is usually seen as cuffs for sweaters, hats, or gloves, but it can be used anywhere. Just remember to do the math and make sure your number of stitches evenly splits up into how many "ribs" you want.
