CABLE CROSSING TWISTED RIB
|
|
|
A VERY HANDY STITCH! WORK AS YOU WOULD A REGULAR KNIT 1, PURL 1 RIBBING, BUT YOU TWIST THE KNIT STITCH BY KNITTING INTO THE BACK OF IT EACH TIME.***

|
EXAMPLE: ROW 1: K1 (INTO THE BACK OF THE STITCH), PURL 1 - ACROSS. NEXT ROW: KNIT YOUR KNITS AND PURL YOUR PURLS, KNITTING THE KNITS INTO THE BACK OF THE STITCH (TWISTING IT) AND WORKING YOUR PURLS IN THE NORMAL MANNER.
THIS MAKES A VERY FIRM RIBBING AND RESEMBLES MINI-CABLES. IT IS VERY COMMON ON ARAN AND CABLED KNITTING. ***IF YOU ARE A “PICKER”, OR CONTINENTAL KNITTER – knitting the “right” way (ahem) – YOU NORMALLY KNIT THROUGH THE BACK OF A STITCH, SO FOR A TWISTED RIB YOU WILL KNIT THROUGH THE FRONT OF THE KNIT STITCH.
