The above illustration shows the following: Row 2: k2, k2tog Row 4: k1, k2tog Learning to "see" the stitches that should be worked together will liberate you from dependence on stitch markers and save you from having to constantly count stitches to know when it's time to decrease. Passing the slipped stitch over... ...does stress that stitch, making it looser and larger.

Double Slip-stitch Rib knitting pattern: 2 steps and 2 rows - So Woolly Dedicated to all those who aren’t purling fans, this tutorial will show you how to knit the the Double Slip-stitch Rib pattern (in both, English and Continental style). At first glance, it looks like the classic 2×2 Rib stitch, but if we take a closer look, we’ll see how the columns are embossed, standing out remarkably.

The good news is that it doesn’t involve any purling! Yay! Because it’s well known that many of us don’t love to purl, and it has been proven that we knit faster when no purl stitch is needed On top of that, the Double Slip-stitch Rib is a unisex stitch; you can use it for knitting women’s and men’s scarves, infinite cowls, and even blankets, cushions, tote bags, and many other projects (it’s similar to the Slip stitch Rib we learned sometime ago). Abbreviations CO: Cast on RS: Right side of the work K: knit
