When you reach a purl stitch approximately where you want to make your decrease, knit it together with the following knit stitch. This will make two knit stitches in a row, followed by a single purl. Place a marker and move to the next place to decrease and repeat. If you consistently knit together the last two stitches before your markers, you will form an attractive pattern in the ribs as you decrease.

What is difference between knit and rib yarn?
A plain knit is simply knitting each stitch on the front or public side of the fabric and purling each stitch on the back or private side of the fabric. This stitch is called stockinette stitch. Garter stitch, where each and every row is knit across, regardless of whether you are working the front or back side, produces horizontal ridges that are somewhat similar to ribbing turned 90 degrees and somewhat stretchy, but not as stretchy as ribbing. Ribbing is created by knitting a sequence of knit and purl stitches to create raised vertical ridges in the fabric which are especially elastic and well suited to cuffs and necks. The most common ribbing patters are 1 x 1 and 2 x 2. For 1 x 1 ribbing: *K1, P1, repeat from * across For 2 x 2 ribbing: *K2, P2, repeat from * across There are other combinations possible, such as 3 x 3 or 2 x 3 or what ever your heart desires, but 1 x 1 and 2 x 2 are the most commonly used rib patterns. A plain knit is simply knitting each stitch on the front or public side of the fabric and purling each stitch on the back or private side of the fabric. This stitch is called stockinette stitch. A rib knit is created by knitting 2 stitches, and purling 2 stitches, over and over. Example: cast on 10 stitches. knit 2,purl 2, knit 2, purl 2, knit 2 next row: purl 2, knit 2, purl 2, knit 2, purl 2 Repeat these rows for about 4 inches, and you'll see the rib knit pattern. Another version of rib knit, is, knit 1, purl 1, knit 1, purl one. You'll get the same pattern as above, just in more narrow rows. Rib knit is commonly seen on sock cuffs, and sweater cuffs.
How do you knit the rib stitch?
2x2 rib refers to K2P2 ribbing. K2P2 ribbing means that you alternate two knit stitches with two purl stitches across the width of the work. Similarly, 1x1 ribbing is sometimes called K1P1 ribbing, and you'd alternate knits and purls across the work. Other sorts of ribbing my be notated as 3x1 (K3P1) or 3x2 (K3P2). The total length and width of the pattern (of whatever ribbing you are knitting) will be specified by the particular pattern that you are knitting. The number (1,2,3...) with the ribbing only specifies how wide the ribs will be.
How do you do a seed stitch in knitting?
Moss Stitch (or Seed Stitch) can be worked over either an odd or even number of stithes and you simply repeat the same two stitches to achieve the look. If working over an odd number of stitches: Knit 1 stitch, Purl 1 stitch and repeat this across the row for every row This will create a "broken rib". If working over even stitches however you must alternate the rows to achieve the same look. Row 1: Knit 1 Stitch, Purl 1 Stitch across the row Row 2: Purl 1 Stitch, Knit 1 Stitch across the row You will repeat these two rows in order to get the same look as if you were working on an off number of stitches.
What equipment do you need when knitting?
Knitting is done with NEEDLES. They are smooth pointy sticks with a cap on the end to keep the stitches from falling off the back side. Needles also come in double pointed kinds with a point on either end. These are for knitting in the round when you want to make a tube with no seams (like a sock or a turtleneck) You hold the needles one in each hand move them in a specific way that threads a continuous piece of yarn into little interlocking loops. This is how you knit yarn into a usable, wearable fabric. In addition to Needles, you need basic needlework supplies like scissors, tape measure, ruler, instructions for your pattern, and an iron and ironing board to finish your work neatly. You might want some specific convenience tools that are sold for knitters to make their work faster or easier. Lots of people buy stitch counters, which basically help you keep track of stitches in a pattern so it's easier for you to follow along and keep your place. If you get distracted easily or you have a difficult time following patterns, you might want one. Point protectors are little rubber caps that look like tiny gnome hats. People buy them to put on the end of their needles when they stop knitting. The point protectors keep the stitches from slipping off when you have tired of knitting for the day but your have not finished the project. There are tons of other little gadgets that I don't have and don't use but that lots of people seem to like. Before you rush out and buy a bunch of knitting related stuff, ask yourself what areas you have trouble with. Once you know where you need help, you'll know what extra tools might be useful to you. Otherwise you'll have a drawer full of unused knitting gadgets that you find you didn't need to buy. Best of luck--Jo
What is the name of a knitting pattern that includes knit and purl stitches?
The vast majority of knitting patterns include both knits and purls. The only exceptions that come to mind would be garter stitch in the flat and stockinette (or reverse stockinette) in the round. Perhaps you are thinking of ribbing, where knits and purls are alternated in a row that is repeated over and over again. The most common rib pattern is: Cast on an even number of stitches Row 1: K1, P1, repeat to end of row Repeat Row 1 to desired length of ribbing
