How to knit the Fancy Moss stitch Rib (only two rows!)
In this post, I’m sharing how to knit the Fancy Moss stitch Rib, a lovely variation of the classic Ribbing (like the Half Garter Rib we practiced a while ago). Honestly, I love to have options, because variety is the spice of life 😉 Time and time again I find myself doing the same 2 x 2 Rib automatically, without thinking… and the truth is that there are tons of alternatives.

1×1 Rib stitch The 1×1 Rib is a very stretchy stitch, reversible, ideal for knitting hems, cuffs, necklines, hats, but also men’s scarves and anything that should be elastic: leg warmers, mittens, etc. It’s the easiest stitch of the ribbing family: To make the 1×1 Rib stitch you just need to alternate knits and purls.
