How to Knit: Ribbing | 1×1 2×2 Rib Stitch Tutorial | Design Your Own Knit & Purl Pattern

This comprehensive tutorial is aimed at teaching knitting beginners all about the popular ribbing technique. Ribbing is an easy method to learn because it only consists of knit and purl stitches…yay!

I teach you how to knit both 1×1 and 2×2 ribbing, which are the most commonly-used patterns.
I also run through how to recognise knit and purl stitches, because it will help you in all of your knitting, but especially in ribbing since it is all about “knitting the knits and purling the purls”!

Then at the end, I show you how you can design your own ribbing pattern i.e. choose how wide the ‘ridges’ are, and how wide the ‘valleys’ are.
It may sound complicated at first, but it’s very easy to work out the pattern you need.

I hope this video is helpful to you, and thanks for watching 🙂
