Rickrack Rib Knitting Stitch | Knit with Aabhar
Pattern Description
Rickrack Rib knitting stitch is a fun way of ribbing compared to the same old 4 x 4 rib. Featuring a classic zig zag arrangement of stitches, it has a great texture and stretch. And, unlike the classic rib stitches, this one does not curl or rolls.
Like most other rib knitting stitches, Rickrack Rib is also a charming option to make cuffs of your pullover, mittens, gloves, and socks.
