Twisted\/Double Twisted Ribbing<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Twisted ribbing is similar to regular ribbing\u00a0however but knitting through the back loop which adds an extra twist to the stitch and as such\u00a0it gives a more refined look, with a tighter, more defined front column and a regular purl\u00a0column\u00a0the look\u00a0is more\u00a0loose\/lacey when next to the twisted stitch. Double twisted\u00a0rib is\u00a0denser\u00a0because you purl and knit through\u00a0the\u00a0back loop on both sides, giving a more\u00a0structured\u00a0look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

For twisted knit,\u00a0on\u00a0the right side you will knit through\u00a0the back loop and a regular purl. On the\u00a0wrong\u00a0side,\u00a0you will\u00a0knit\u00a0through the back loop and do a regular\u00a0purl.\u00a0On the wrong side, you will\u00a0purl\u00a0through\u00a0the back loop and do a regular knit stitch.\u00a0Do this in whatever ribbing pattern\u00a0the instructions tell you 1×1, and 2×2 are the most popular options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Double Twisted Rib:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For\u00a0a double\u00a0twisted\u00a0rib,\u00a0you will both purl and knit through the back\u00a0loop for\u00a0every stitch rather than flipping between rows.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Knit Stitch:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Insert the right needle into the first loop on the left needle from front to back, wrap the yarn, pull a new loop through, and slid the old stitch off. Continue that until your finish your row. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Knit Through The Back Loop:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"How<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Knitting through the back loop is\u00a0almost the\u00a0same process; you just insert the needle through the back of the loop going right to left (similar to\u00a0a purl).\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Purl Stitch:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ensure the working yarn is in the front of your work, insert your right-hand needle into the first stitch on the left-hand needle from right to left (front to back), with the right needle sitting on top of the left needle, wrap the yarn around the tip of the right-hand needle in a counterclockwise motion, pull the new loop back through the stitch with the right needle and slip the old stitch off the left-hand needle. This results in the reverse of a knit stitch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Purl Through The Back Loop:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Purling through the back loop is\u00a0almost the\u00a0same process; you just insert the needle through the back of the loop going left to right (similar to\u00a0a knit).\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Note:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try not to get confused with the back loop. Purling\u00a0through the back loop looks more like knitting and knitting through the back loop looks more like purling.\u00a0Also, double twisted rib will make your knitting tighter (which is why it’s popular for necklines) so make sure to check that it isn’t too small.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
