When working basic ribbing patterns like 1×1 or 2×2 ribs, having an even number of stitches creates a nice symmetrical pattern. But what if you have an odd number of stitches? No worries, you can still work beautiful ribbing!

There are a many ways you could create this stretchiness, but they're all called "ribbed stitches". Instructions for Fastening Off: After the last stitch of the last round, cut the yarn, leaving a 6-inch end. Draw the cut end of your yarn completely through the stitch & pull to tighten knot. For tighter ribbing:Use slightly smaller needles to knit the ribbing portion of your pattern, then switch to the recommended size for the rest of your project. Tip: For an even stretchier edge, choose a stretchy bind off method like the the sewn bind off or Jeny’s Surprisingly Stretchy bind-off. Other Rib Stitch Pattern Variations You can also add crochet ribbing to cuffs of cardigans or sweaters for a neat finish to the arms and waist.

Try for even tension– Pay special attention to your tension, especially when transitioning from a knit stitch to a purl stitch. Switching from a knit to a purl takes up extra yarn, which can make the knit stitch look sloppy. The following photos show the inside and outside of a sleeve with properly attached cuff. The INSIDE of the sleeve cuff is finished nicely - no raw seam allowance visible inside the sleeve cuff. In these types of cases, it’s really helpful to know how to “read your knitting.” Once you identify the knit stitches as little V’s and purl stitches as little bumps, it’s simply a matter of “knitting the knits and purling the purls.” Binding Off in Ribbing Repeat steps 2-3 across the row, knitting or purling each stitch according to the estabished ribbing pattern.
