Speckle Rib Stitch Pattern | Knit with Aabhar
Pattern Description
Speckle Rib is a simple knit and purl knitting stitch pattern with tiny specks of yarn popping over to give it a nice texture. Despite the name suggesting a rib pattern, it is not one in the traditional sense.
There are variations of this stitch where you can use multiple colors and it completely changes the way knitted fabric looks. You can use it to make beanies, bottle cozy, and more.
