Archive of Thread: tuck rib Back

Hi
Looking through the stitch patterns available, I came across 2 patterns under the heading Tuck rib. I downloaded one into designaknit, but then realised that I have no idea of how to proceed. Are there any resources on the KIN site dealing with this? Love to try it.......

Hi Margaret!  
Aren't these stitch patterns interesting?

I don't have any specific instruction about these at this time, but think of the pattern this way:

You'll work tuck on the main bed only.  Then add a few ribber needles into work.  The ribber knits plain, no tuck ...

I haven't knit this in a while, but I believe is actually flat rib.

all needles in work on the main bed  with some tuck stitches going on  and
a few needles in work on the ribber

Here's a tutorial about Flat Ribs

Looking at this, I can see lots of variations on this theme.

Hope this helps.
