Rib Checks Stitch Pattern | Knit with Aabhar

Pattern Description

---

Rib Checks Stitch Pattern is a simple pattern that gets its name from the way it looks. It’s like a chequered pattern with ribs stitch and reverse stockinette. It is an interesting pattern – there are all-over checks. The knitted ribs are knit and purl through the back loop, while the reverse stockinette is simple knit and purl.

The Rib Checks Stitch Pattern is a mix of rib stitches and reverse stockinette stitches, it creates a stretchy fabric. This pattern is ideal for knitting projects like pullovers, sweaters, and even hats. It’s also great for making washcloths and blankets.
