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
It is a ribbing consisting of 6 knit stitches followed by 6 purl stitches. Thus:
*K 6, P 6; repeat from * across row.
It probably means you are knit 6 stitches, purl 6 stitches
Rib usually means k1, p1. It can be k2 p2 etc, but if the start of the pattern doesn't say anything about it I'd stick to 1's.

Double knitting refers to the "weight" of the yarn--how 'thick' is the yarn. DK or double knit is a a light worsted weight yarn. DK typically makes 5-6 stockinette stitches per inch when knitting. For crochet, you would generally us an "I-sized" hook (4.5 to 5.5mm). Also, you would get approximately 3-4 single crochets to the inch, in gauge. Of course, adjusting your gauge to fit the pattern requirements--generally by changing the size of your hook, either larger or smaller.

The normal serving of rib tips per person is normally 4 because they do not contain much meet. If the rib tips are on the small side, then 6 may be a better serving.
