Knit one below, k1b
"knit one below", "K1b" is a knitting technique that allows you to create rib, nice textures and also vertical stripes when using 2 colors as in our video.
Cast on an uneven number of sts on double pointed needles or on a circular needle for a larger project.
Row 1 (RS) green: K1, *K1, k1b*, repeat *-* and end with K2, slide sts to the right side of needle.
Row 2 (RS) white: P1, *k1b, K1*, repeat *-* and end with k1b, P1, turn.
Row 3 (WS) green: P1, *P1, purl1below*, repeat *-* and end with P2, slide sts to the right side of needle.
Row 4 (WS) white: K1, *purl1below, P1*, repeat *-* and end with purl 1 below, K1, turn.

Dear Lisa, you might have to work one row before, or maybe just knit the stitch as normal on first row. If this question is related to one of our patterns, please ask your question under the section of that pattern so that we can check together. Happy knitting!
