Stockinette\/Knit stitch:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stockinette stitch is what most think is just a knit stitch, it is when working in the round, but when working on a flat piece like a scarf or blanket it means you work your front side with knit stitches and when you flip to the back side you use purl stitches.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Ribbing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ribbing is typically used on hems or\u00a0cuffs;\u00a0it creates loos columns making a bumpy texture and is\u00a0stretchier\u00a0than stockinette. Ribbing is normally done as 1×1 -1 knit, 1 purl or 2×2- 2 knit, 2\u00a0purl\u00a0as they are considered the\u00a0stretchiest. This stitch has\u00a0numerous\u00a0variations depending on the look\u00a0you’re\u00a0going for and can be quite versatile.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Twisted Ribbing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Twisted ribbing is\u00a0similar to\u00a0ribbing but to create a tighter knit column you do your knit stitch through the back loop adding an extra twist. This makes your knit columns more defined while your purl stitches\u00a0remain\u00a0loose and floaty. For double twisted rib you still knit through the back loop, but you also purl through the back loop. This\u00a0way you get both the extra defined columns and a tighter stitch.\u00a0Twisted rib is mostly used for hems and cuffs whereas double twisted rib is\u00a0used for collars, with their compact nature ensuring\u00a0it’s\u00a0not too loose.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
