Double Woven Rib Stitch for Beginners

Published on February 10, 2022 By Davina | May contain affiliate links (whats this?)

double woven rib stitch tutorial
The Double Woven Rib is a textured stitch pattern that looks slightly woven. Though it looks complex, this stitch is just a two-row repeat.

The woven rib texture is created by slipping two stitches with the yarn in front. The rest of the stitches are just knits or purls, making Double Woven Rib a great pattern for beginners.

This stitch tends to curl so it needs a border (like garter stitch) to keep it lying flat.

The reverse of Double Woven Rib mimics a rib stitch and is also quite handsome.

This swatch is knit using Paintbox Yarns Cotton DK in the 410 Soft Fudge. This is an affordable cotton yarn that’s great for washcloths, rugs, coasters, sun hats and more! This yarn also comes in tons of colors.

This stitch requires a cast on of 4 plus 2. This means you will choose a multiple of four (4, 8, 12, 16, 20 etc.) and add two stitches to it.

For example:

4+2=6
or
8+2=10
or
12+2 = 14

So, you could cast on 6, 10, 14 or so on.
