Loopy Rib Stitch
The loopy rib stitch is a wide twisted knit stitch that is done over two pegs at once. It is similar to the stockinette stitch with a much wider stitch. You can choose between a knit and twisted knit stitches by wrapped the pegs straight or wrapping them with an e-wrap.
Gauge
The gauge of this stitch is large. For both methods, the e-wrap version of the method (twisted knit stitches) will produce a larger gauge than the straight wrap method (knit stitches).Diagonal Wrap Method

The loopy rib stitch pattern diagonal wrap
needs to be wrapped very loosely or it will
become too tight from row to row to knit off. Use
a straight and diagonal wrap to work knit
stitches. See basic stitches for more
information. To create the loopy rib stitch, wrap
around two pegs in the order noted below working
back and forth across the knitting board every
other two pegs. This is the same wrap as the
stockinette stitch box wrap method. Unlike the
stockinette stitch, both pegs are knitted off
together instead of one at a time. Remember that
the bottom rake is numbered with odd numbers and
the top is numbered with even. The number of the
pegs have been included in the pictures for your
convenience.
Directions: Wrap the pegs in the following order,
working back and forth across the knitting board.
From Left to Right: 2, 4, 5, 7, 10. 12,
13, 15, 18, 20, 21, 23
From Right to Left: 24, 22, 19, 17, 16,
14, 11, 9, 8, 6, 3, 1

The twisted loopy rib stitch pattern figure

work knit tbl stitches over two pegs at once. See
basic stitches for more information. To create
the twisted loopy rib stitch using the figure
eight wrap, e-wrap around two pegs in the order
noted below working back and forth across the
knitting board every other two pegs. Both pegs
are knitted off together instead of one at a time
to create each stitch. Remember that the bottom

numbered with even. The number of the pegs have
