Let’s do a bit of stretching today and learn how to knit a simple ribbed stitch. The hardest part here is knowing how to knit a selvage stitch, everything else is just a breeze. I believe that this stitch is somewhat ignored in the community of knitters, but in the creative hands it will shine like a new star – from hats and scarfs to blankets and covers, its texture and look makes it a hidden gem.
