How to work English rib variation with 3 garter stitches between

This is how you can make a rib pattern looking like English rib but not getting as bulky and yarn consuming.
Number of sts (not incl edge sts) should be able to divide by 4 + 3.
1st row: 1 edge st in garter, *k3, slip 1 st as if to purl with yarn in front of work*, rep *-*, end row with k3, 1 edge st in garter.

Is dit een andere omslag dan normaal bij een rechte steek?

Dag Joke,

Nee, het is een normale omslag, maar het ziet er anders uit omdat de draad in deze video in de linker hand gehouden wordt. Met de rechter hand maak je de omslag door eerst de draad onder de naald door te halen en dan er overheen.

Hello, Can this pattern be knitted with circular needle?

29.11.2020 - 21:39

DROPS Design :

Dear Mrs Keriman, sure you just have to adapt the pattern in the round, ie work English rib in the round and work the stitches in garter stitch in the round also. Happy knitting!

Lift the edge stitches over to the right needle, push the stitches back on the circular needle so the next row is also worked from the right side. ROW 2 (from RS): Lift the edge stitches over to the right needle, work English rib with the second color and work 5 edge stitches in garter stitch, turn. ROW 3 (from WS): Work 5 edge stitches in garter stitch with the second color, change to the main color, remember to twist the strands to avoid holes and work English rib to the edge stitches on the other side, lift the edge stitches over to the right needle. Push the stitches back on the circular needle so the next row is also worked from the wrong side.
