Flat ribs are a great way to add texture and structure to your knitting, and now it’s easier than ever to learn!

We've gathered all of our flat rib resources into one place —the Flat Rib Classroom—so you can quickly find everything you need to explore this versatile double-bed technique. Plus, I’ve created a brand-new Flat Rib Skill Builder to help you practice and build confidence.


What Are Flat Ribs?

Flat ribs are a double-bed technique where all needles are in work on one bed, with selected needles in work on the opposite bed. This creates a ribbed effect without the stretch of traditional ribbing. It’s a simple but powerful technique that can be used for decorative edges, full fabrics, and more.
