Lovely Rib

I’m knitting a jumper for my grand daughter and it has a rib I’ve never ever seen. K1 sl1 wyf k1 then next row sl1 wyf k1 sl1 wyf,

It’s creating a fabulous almost double thickness rib. When you get to the last row you p1 k2 tog all the way to the end to get to a normal number of stitches. It’s very very nice. :heart_eyes:

It’s fun to knit for a granddaughter isn’t it? Sounds like a very nice rib. What pattern are you following for the sweater?

Would love to see it if you can post a photo, or link to the pattern pic.

Reading this I’m wondering if it’s like fisherman’s rib. I would love to know what it looks like.

Can’t work out how to post a link to Ravelry. It’s called Tiny Tiles Sweater. It’s absolutely lovely you get a double thickness.

GrumpyGramma, it’s thicker than fisherman’s rib.

That is really nice! I must try it. To post a link from Ravelry you can simply copy the url of the page and post it in the reply box. I’ll do that now. A cute sweater for sure.

Interesting :thinking:

If I’m reading correctly, Isn’t it the same way you would knit the heal of a sock to get a thicker fabric for the heel?
