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.

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.

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.
