Lace Rib knitting stitch pattern: Reversible and it doesn’t curl
In today’s tutorial, you’ll learn how to knit a great substitute for the classic ribbing: The Lace Rib stitch.
Easy to knit, reversible, pretty stretchy, and it doesn’t curl… plus, it’s a two-row repeat pattern.
The Lace Rib stitch has a great texture to it, perfect for knitting the hems and cuffs of a stylish jumper or cardigan, or for knitting a romantic scarf or rectangular shawl. It features embossed columns, that give it an elegant vertical look (similar to the Feather Rib stitch).
This swatch (and the swatch on the video) was knitted using
a beautiful set of bamboo needles

Lace Rib stitch pattern
CO multiples of 5 + 2 stitches; i.e.: 5 * 4 = 20 + 2 =22 stitches.
1º row (WS): K2, *p3tog, K2*. Repeat from * to *, to the end of the row.
2º row: P2, *yo, p1, yo, p2*. Repeat from * to *, to the end of the row.
These two rows create the pattern. Repeat them until the desired length is reached. When finished, BO after a row 2, working each stitch as it presents.
