An 1884 journal reminded me of how useful even the simplest knitting patterns can be. Reversible Garter Ribbing has only 4 pattern rows and any number of stitches will work. If placed sideways on a garment, the vertical ribs are slimming! Garter Ribbing would also make a great companion to more complicated stitches or afghan strips. It’s a warm and cushy pattern!

Skills needed: cast on, knit, purl and bind off.

Gauge is not important in this pattern. Any block-able yarn/thread will work. Make a swatch to check gauge and appearance.
