Stitch Description
The Garter Rib Stitch is a ribbing pattern which consists of alternating offset rows of garter stitch. The offset is achieved by repeating a section of only knit stitches, and following it with a section of purl stitches. The stitch produces a raised stockinette style ribbing effect on a garter stitch style backdrop.This is a simple pattern and great for beginning knitters that can be used for projects like blankets, pillows and scarves.
