Knit ribbing in rounds
Cast on any number multiple of 3 sts. Place a marker and joint to knit in rounds.
Round 1: [p2, k1] – repeat around.
Round 2: [p2, pick up the right leg of the V-shaped stitch below the next stitch and place it on the left needle, knit it, then slip the next stitch with the working yarn held in back] – repeat around.
Round 3: [p2, Insert the right-hand needle into the next stitch as if to purl (hold this stitch with your thumb), then immediately insert the needle into the following stitch as if to knit. Yarn over and pull the yarn through both stitches while continuing to hold the first stitch with your thumb. Drop both stitches off the left needle — you will now have two new stitches on the right-hand needle.] – repeat around.
