LEARN A NEW STITCH!

FREE PATTERN – KNIT

Today’s stitch is the Slipped Rib 1.  I worked 1 row in knit for the top and bottom border. I also worked 1 stitch on each end of needle in rib to create the side borders. I have incorporated these stitches into the written pattern.  If you decide to use this stitch to create your own project, simply leave out the extra stitch on each end.
