Reverse Ridge Stitch Texture
Easy-to-Memorize: This texture is another modern design created with a simple combination of knit and purl stitches.
Horizontal Rib Stitch: This 6-Row Repeat Knit Stitch Pattern is created by horizontal ribbing, so it’s really stretchy from top to bottom.
Welt Stitch Pattern: In knitting, the Welt Stitch is a series of horizontal ribs with knits and purls. Another welted rib stitch in my collection to check out is my Purl Ridge Stitch.
Knitting Project Ideas: This ribbed stitch makes for a great pattern choice for knitted items that show off both sides of your work like scarves and blankets.
Reversible Stitch Pattern: This is a reversible pattern, meaning that both sides of your work, the right and wrong sides, are identical.
