I started learning to knit two months ago. And of all the patterns I've tried, this makes the most fantastic scarf. The ribs are amazing for attaching fringes. When it's cold outside (like it often is here in Canada) you can drape it around yourself as a flat piece of fabric for warmth. And because the edges curl a bit, you can roll up the scarf to form like a tube which is much easier to tie into a fashionable knot around yourself indoors 😊 Thank you, Norman 💛💛💛
Hi, would you please tell me what selvedge edge works with the Broken Rib Stitch pattern to prevent curling? I'm using the Slip Stitch Selvedge on both sides, and I didn't realized my scarf started curling about 2 feet into knitting this scarf. Please and thank you!
Very nice. Do I tuck the purl stitch before slipping from the needle? Could you recommend a simple side edging to prevent curling on the sides for a scarf? Thank you again for the good Tutorial.
yes, before you slip it. Works for all kidns of ribbings by the way. For a scarf..hm..well...the least conspicious selvage would be like 4 rows of normal ribbing probably. But haven'T tested this :) Maybe a simple slip stitch selvage is enough.
well, this will largely depend on the material you are using. Of course it will stretch out a bit...but not like normal ribbing. For a tee, it could look very lovely. Do consider, that you could change the repeat of the second row to *p1, k2* or even p1, k3* that way you get larger ribs and the lines in between pop even more.

Nice broken rib pattern Thanks !
as always, my pleasure, Nicole!
Thank you!!
Lovely video! Could you do one showing how to increase in pattern? I’m finding it really hard 😭
hm...I don't think I have time for such a video :( but you'd increase it like ribbing.

typically just a wider selvage of garter stitch or double stockinette stitch will be able to do that.

@@nimbleneedlestwo Thank you.😊
Thank you for the tutorial! Will this stitch also work with a twisted rib pattern? E.g. P1, ktbl
i'm sure it does. I mean inever tried it but I wouldn't know why not.
Norman,will this stretch out, lose its shape, if used for the body of
a tee shirt pattern? I wonder, too, if it could nice for a face wash cloth?
