BROKEN RIB STITCH
This is an easy two-row pattern that looks very different on the front and on the
back but is attractive on both sides. You work it on an odd number of stitches.
1 Row 1 (right side): Knit.
2 Row 2 (wrong side): Purl 1, knit 1, purl 1; repeat from to end of row.
3 Repeat rows 1 and 2 for broken rib stitch.
Basic Stitch Patterns
chapter 3RIB-AND-RIDGE STITCH
This rib is not elastic, so it works best as an allover design. The right side looks
like a rippled 1 x 1 rib, and the wrong side looks like an interrupted rib. You work
this stitch pattern on a multiple of 2 stitches plus 1 (that is, 5, 7, 9, and so on).
1 Row 1 (wrong side): Purl.
2 Row 2 (right side): Knit.
3 Row 3: Knit 1, purl 1, knit 1; repeat from to end of row.
4 Row 4: Purl 1, knit 1, purl 1; repeat from to end of row.
5 Repeat rows 1–4 for rib-and-ridge stitch.

This stitch pattern does not look like most ribbing. It’s very easy to do, and it
looks the same on both sides. You work it on a multiple of 4 stitches plus 2 (that
is, 6, 10, 14, and so on).
1 Row 1: Knit 2, purl 2, knit 2; repeat from to end.
2 Repeat row 1 for garter rib.
