Pattern stitches I love… Twin Rib!

You all know that one of the things that I love to do is work with multiple pattern stitches in the same work. I seem to “discover” a new stitch and then need to work with it in a myriad of designs before I can let it go! Here is my latest obsession….

I found Twin Rib when I had one skein of MadelineTosh’s Pashima and wanted to make a quick cowl for myself. I quickly cast 240 sts onto a size 7 circular needle and was off. I just kept going until it looked like I would run out of yarn if I did more than one more row… and I cast off. Voila!!!

Round 2: *K2, p3, k1; repeat from * to end.

Repeat these two rows.

To quote Barbara Walker,

“The interesting thing about this simple knit-purl fabric is that it looks exactly the same on both sides, even though the two sides are differently worked. It is not sufficiently elastic to be used as a true ribbing, but a beginner could use it as an attractive allover texture for sweaters, jackets, scarves or baby blankets. It has no curl, and therefore serves well as a border pattern wherever the springiness of a true ribbing is undesirable, such as on button bands, pockets and coat cuffs.”

What I love about the stitch is it is easy to work (I know that some of you really hate k1, p1 but I find that I get into a rhythm), it’s completely reversible (obvious advantage for scarves and cowls, but also collars or a slouchy opening to a cardigan where both sides of the fabric show), and it provides some negative ease but not a lot (makes the fabric stretchy but not clingy).

It also works very well when paired with an aran design, say in a fisherman’s sweater!…. And it is wonderful when you want a nice, clean rib finish but you don’t want the pulled in effect of a standard rib st… but that is another story…..
