How to knit the Slip Stitch Rib
An elegant variant of the well known Rib stitch, the Slip Stitch Rib is perfect for scarves, cowls, bags, blankets, and many other projects. There are many advantages: The Slip Stitch Rib doesn’t roll up, it’s reversible, and unisex! Ideal for knitting both men’s and women’s clothing and accessories. It’s also really easy to knit, there are only 2 rows and few steps to memorize. What I like the most are the embossed vertical stripes, which give a slim look to the silhouette…in case you are thinking about knitting a pullover, sweater or tank top… Ok… it’s knitting time!
