Thank you Norman, easy to understand as always. I am having trouble increasing just one stitch at each end of a row which I would like to do every alternate row rather than two double increases every 4 rows. It seems to me the way to go is by picking up the yarn underneath but I'm not sure which yarn or which way round to pick up and which way to knit. By the way I recently had one of your Eureka moments when I came upon this pattern for Fisherman's Rib:- Cast on an uneven number of stitches. Row 1 : knit all stitches. Row 2 : Knit 2, * knit 1 below, knit 1*. Repeat from * to * till there is one stitch left, and knit that last stitch. Row 3 : Purl 1, * knit 1 below, knit 1*. Repeat from * to * till there are 2 stitches left. Knit 1 below and knit the last stitch. Repeat rows 2 and 3. Michael

Brilliant tutorial. Thank you Norman. I'm always learning, no matter how many decades I've been knitting. This makes me want to make a lovely fisherman's rib jumper/pullover now. Could you please give some insight into the best way to transition from regular rib (around cuffs for example) to fisherman's rib; ie needle size differences etc. Thanks again.

@NimbleNeedles

2 жыл бұрын

that's a tricky question as it will depend on how stretchy you want your cuff to be. Now brioche/fisherman'S rib stitch is double knitting,....so the best theoretical way to transition was to decrease all doube stitches, just *k2tog, p2tog* across. that however, might be too tight.. so...i actually would test it out on a swatch

I learned it as a little gi rl In Copenhagen 🇩🇰.. We called it "Patent-strik." I've created hundreds of items using this stitch. I still have my first scarf knitted in 1954. Ahh, memories....

So the selvage plan for a rib pattern is to slip the first stitch knit wise in EACH row and Purl the last stitch on EACH row. These are two extra stitches. These are ‘outside’ the pattern. I’m not really worried about creating a beautiful edge but I REALLY want to avoid that big loopy first stitch that I always feel like pulling tight. I hope that adding these two selvage stitches will eliminate that big loopy first stitch of the row in my knitting. Great, clear video here. Thank you.

Thank you, Norman, for this wonderful tutorial. Your analytic way of looking at the stitches is a revelation for me, even though i have been knitting for 40 years now. One remark/question: For me, Patentmuster has always been knit stitches only. It seems to be much faster than k1 p1 and in my opinion makes no difference. Do you mean this with the term 'double knitting'? Greetings from Germany, Antje

@NimbleNeedles

Жыл бұрын

Patent is, at least in the German speaking countries, typically knit with "2 zusammenstricken". As you say, it makes no difference and you can definitely stick to whatever feels more comfortable for you. That being said, doubleknitting ("Double Face" in German) means that you are actually knitting two sides. If you ever tried Patent in two colors, you should know that you have to knit each row twice. And also, even in standard Patent, you have to knit two rows to achieve one rib. it is, essentially a form of double knitting :)

actually...i would be very careful with blocking fishermans rib...very easy to overstretch it. and I don't think the selvage problem will fix itself dramatically anyway.
