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.
