Double Rib Stitch
The double rib stitch pattern creates a k2 p2 pattern in the fabric. It is worked over two columns of pegs moving back and forth across the two rakes. You can choose between knit and twisted knit stitches by wrapping the pegs straight or wrapping them with an e-wrap.
Gauge
The gauge of the stitch changes with the wrap method. For all method, the e-wrap version of the method (twisted knit stitches) will produce a larger gauge than the straight wrap method (knit stitches).Stockinette Wrapping Methods | |

Wrap Method | Gauge Information |
Box Wrap /
Box E-wrap |
The stitches will be pulled tight together producing a thick, dense fabric. Remember not to judge the fabric while it is still on the knitting board. The fabric closest to the opening of the knitting board may not look like stockinette but once it is bound off, it will. |
Diagonal Wrap /
Figure Eight Wrap |
The stitches will be evenly spaced and produces an even fabric. |
Box Wrap Method

The double rib stitch pattern box wrap needs
to be wrapped very loosely or it will become too
tight from row to row to knit off. Use a straight
and diagonal wrap to work knit stitches. See
basic stitches for more information. To create
the double rib stitch using the box wrap, wrap
all of the pegs down the knitting board in one
direction in the order noted below for one row
and then back the opposite way for even rows. Two
pegs on the same side are wrapped before moving
across to the other side of the knitting board.
Remember that the bottom rake is numbered with
odd numbers and the top is numbered with even.
The number of the pegs have been included in the
pictures for your convenience.
Directions: Wrap the pegs in the following order,
working back and forth across the knitting board.
Odds Rows From Left to Right: 1, 2, 4, 3,
5, 6, 8, 7, 9, 10, 12, 11, 13, 14, 16, 15, 17,
18, 20, 19, 21, 22, 24, 23
Even Rows From Right to Left: 23, 24, 22,
21, 19, 20, 18, 17, 15, 16, 14, 13, 11, 12, 10,

The twisted double rib stitch pattern box
e-wrap uses a figure eight (e-wrap) wrap to work
knit tbl stitches. See basic stitches for more
information. To create the twisted double rib
stitch using the box e-wrap, e-wrap all of the
pegs down the knitting board in one direction in
the order noted below for one row and then back
the opposite way for even rows. Two pegs on the
same side are wrapped before moving across to the
other side of the knitting board. Remember that
the bottom rake is numbered with odd numbers and
the top is numbered with even. The number of the
pegs have been included in the pictures for your
convenience.
Directions: E-Wrap the pegs in the following
order, working back and forth across the knitting
board.
Odds Rows From Left to Right: 1, 2, 4, 3,
5, 6, 8, 7, 9, 10, 12, 11, 13, 14, 16, 15, 17,
18, 20, 19, 21, 22, 24, 23
Even Rows From Right to Left: 23, 24, 22,
21, 19, 20, 18, 17, 15, 16, 14, 13, 11, 12, 10,

Diagonal Wrap Method
Please click on the picture to see a larger image
The double rib pattern can be worked with the
diagonal wrap which works knit stitches. See
basic stitches for more information. To create a
double rib, wrap the pegs in the order noted
below, working back and forth across the knitting
board. The wrapping method is similar to the
stockinette diagonal method but is off-set by one
on the bottom row (skip to 5 instead of 3) and
then wrap every other peg back and forth across
the knitting boards afterwards. Remember that the
bottom rake is numbered with odd numbers and the
top is numbered with even. The number of the pegs
have been included in the pictures for your
convenience.
