Rs/ws

Doing a pattern which starts with K1 p1 rib for 2 inches and then it says K RS and P WS. I am having a hard time figuring out which side is the RS? Is this another case where I decide on my own which side I like as the RS or is there a way with a rib stitch to determine this? Thanks.

Yes if there’s an even number of sts so you start with a k and end with a purl they’re both the same so you can decide which looks better.

Thank you! I thought that might be the case but just didn’t want to start out and thinking I was right only to find I was wrong. Thank you for the swift answer
