Step-by-step guide

Step 1:

In the first row of the pattern we'll knit all stitches.

Step 2:

We'll start the second row with one knit stitch, followed by one purl stitch.

Step 3:

Continue alternating between a knit stitch and a purl stitch until you reach the end of the row.

Step 4:

Repeat these 2 rows as many times as your pattern requires.

Top Tip:

Remember to move your working yarn to the back for each knit stitch, and forwards for each purl stitch.

You can now create a mock rib pattern!
