Learn to Knit 4: Reverse Rib Facecloth
This pattern is part of a guided “Learn to Knit” series designed by an elementary teacher. Each successive facecloth pattern in the series builds on previous skills in the tiniest increments, making the daunting challenge of learning how to knit accessible. While it is best to pair this guide with the hands-on advice of a knitting shop or friendly neighbourhood knitter, each skill has multiple links to YouTube videos so that you can learn on your own or review lessons when your guide isn’t available.
If you’ve ever tried to teach someone to knit and been at a loss for where to start or where to go next, this series removes that mental puzzle and allows you to focus on what you do best: knit. You can share this guide with your learner so they can access the tutorial links to practice when you aren’t available.
Another pattern you can create using rows of knit and purl stitches is called the reverse rib. From the right side (RS) of the fabric, this pattern groups rows of stockinette and reverse stockinette to create a horizontal wave pattern. What is reverse stockinette? It’s the wrong side of a stockinette pattern. In this pattern, the reverse stockinette sections create texture.
Pre-requisite Skills:
- cast on (CO) and bind off (BO)
- knit and purl
- counting rows
New Skill: reverse stockinette
Expanding Skill: identifying right and wrong sides of the fabric
