2x2 Garter Stitch Rib

Sample knit with Plymouth Mushishi on US Size 8 Knitter's Pride Karbonz
I just love a stitch that gives you bang for your buck - this is one of those stitches.  Using only knits and purls, you get a fabric that looks great on both sides.  And only a two row repeat, so it is easy to memorize.  (Yes, it is hard to tell from the picture.  You can see better in the video!)

Multiple of 4 + 2

Row 1: Knit
Row 2: P2 *K2, P2

Repeat these two rows for pattern
