Ribbing
An elastic knitting mønster alternating between knit and purl stitches. Often used for cuffs, necklines, and hem edges to provide stretch and fit.
Explanation
Ribbing is a classic knitting pattern created by alternating between knit and purl stitches. Common variants include 1x1 rib (one knit, one purl) and 2x2 rib (two knit, two purl). Ribbing is highly elastic and pulls in, making it perfect for cuffs, necklines, and the bottom hem of sweaters. It holds its shape well and prevents the edge from curling.
