Asymmetrical Rib
The asymmetrical rib stitch pattern is one of the few stitch patterns that creates a different pattern on each side of the fabric. It is similar to the double rib on one side but not on the other. You can choose between knit and twisted knit stitches by wrapping the pegs using a diagonal method or figure eight method, respectively.
Gauge
The gauge of this stitch is the same as the double rib using the diagonal or figure eight wrap method. For both methods, the figure eight (e-wrap) version of the method which works twisted knit stitches will produce a larger gauge than the straight wrap method which works knit stitches.Diagonal Wrap Method
