Knit with Aabhar – Little Hourglass Rib Stitch Pattern

Pattern Description

---

Little Hourglass Rib is a beautiful textured knitting pattern with repeating hourglass motifs arranged in vertical columns. Unlike the Hourglass Crochet Stitch, there are no eyelets in this pattern.

The knitting stitch features knitting the same two stitches through back loops and front loops to create the embossed texture. If you knit with a lighter-weight yarn, the texture won’t be as prominent as in the case of medium-weight yarn. The Little Hourglass Rib Stitch will be great for knitting cowls, scarves, and afghans.
