To perform the 2x2 rib bind off technique, you alternate between knitting two stitches and purling two stitches as you bind off your work. This creates a stretchy edge that matches the ribbing pattern of your project.
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.
double knitting wool is lighter in weight then aran so the gauge will be wrong . the answer is No.. BUT there are aran knitting patterns made for dk or double knitting yarns ( sirdar makes some) just buy an aran pattern designed specifically for dk yarn
Double knitting is a form of knitting in which two fabrics are knitted simultaneously on one pair of needles.
Double knitting is also called sport weight yarn and is not as thick as worsted weight. 2 ply wool is thinner than double knitting and is usually used for making socks.
The rick rib stitch is a copyrighted stitch from Barbara Walker's Second Treasury of Knitting Patterns, page 260. Because of copyright, it is not legal for me to copy her instructions here. I suggest you visit your local library or knit shop and look it up in that book.
To use the rib combs on a Singer Big 9 knitting machine, first, ensure that your machine is set up for ribbing. Attach the rib combs to the stitches on the front bed, aligning them properly to hold the stitches securely. Then, adjust the tension and use the machine's ribbing mechanism to create the desired rib pattern as you knit. Finally, check the fabric regularly to ensure even tension and stitch formation.
Double Knitting (DK) is a yarn weight. You would have to have a 4 ply that is DK weight in order for it to come out the size you expect.

dk means double knitting yarn.
To achieve a stretchy bind off for a 2x2 rib pattern, you can use a method called the "Jeny's Surprisingly Stretchy Bind Off." This technique involves working yarn overs and decreases to create a stretchy edge that complements the ribbing. You can find tutorials online that demonstrate how to do this bind off step by step.
