Beaded Rib Stitch

Sample knit with DK weight yarn, US 6 needles

 

The wrong side looks nice too

Multiple: 5 + 2 

Row 1 (rs): p2 *k1, p1, k1, p2*
Row 2: k2 *p3, k2*

Repeat these two rows for the pattern.

Happy Knitting!

Ribbing 3

Below, I have a sample of Beaded Rib knit in a 4 ply worsted weight yarn (on the left, some cheap stuff purchased at Wal-Mart) and on the right, a lighter weight yarn (Vanna's Glamour).  The worsted weight yarn shows off this stitch very nicely, whereas the second yarn swallows up the stitches.   

Work with a multiple of 5 stitches, plus 2 (5, 10, 15 and so on, plus 2.  So you would have 7, 12, 17 stitches respectively, and so on.)
Row 1: Purl 2 *Knit 1, Purl 1, Knit 1, Purl 2*
Row 2: Knit 2 *Purl 3, Knit 2*
Repeat these two rows for pattern

 

This is going to wrap it up for the ribbing for now.  I will be posting more rib patterns in the future, but for now it is time to move on past ribbing!
