Best Answer

In knitting, a rib is a type of stitch pattern created by alternating knit and purl stitches (For instance, Knit 1, purl 1 or knit 2, purl 2). This technique creates vertical, textural stripes called ribs.

There are many variations on rib stitches. For more information and for access to many stitch patterns, visit this website: http://www.knittingpatterncentral.com/directory/stitches.php
