"Shadow Rib"

By Sarah E. White, About.com

Shadow Rib

Shadow Rib.

Sarah White

Definition:

Works on multiples of 3 plus 2 stitches.

Row one: Knit.

Row tow: Purl 2, *knit one through the back loop, purl 2. Repeat from * across.

Repeat these two rows for pattern.

I like the knit side as the front, but different stitch pattern books disagree, and some say the purl side is the front. Use whichever you like best--that's the fun of knitting!
