1*1 Rib Knit Stitch

To make a ribbed pattern, you change from knit stitches to purl stitches within a row — instead of alternating knit rows with purl rows (as you do when making horizontal stripes). The most common ribbing combinations are those that are even (that is, the rib uses the same number of knitted versus pu...

Nice Knit Stitch Pattern
The quantity of stitches should be 6 + 2 + 1 fold or according to the 3 sp of the ascent. Knit due to the scheme. Start with the stitches in front of the pattern, then repeat the pattern, finish with the stitches after the pattern. Repeat from 1st up to 7th rows, rotating the colours. Pay attention, that when changing the colour, start either with knit st. row or purl row. That's why it's better to knit from separate balls.
