to twist your stitches when working ribbing. Why on earth would you intentionally twist your stitches? Well, your ribbing really pops when the stitches are twisted.I decided to try this and here's a few tips I discovered:
- Don't twist your stitches as you knit them onto the right needle (right handed knitting). This makes them difficult to work when you make your way back to knitting them off.
- Instead, twist the stitches as you are knitting them off the needle. In other words, knit and purl each of your stitches through the back loop.
- Purling through the back loop can be a little intimidating so if you are working in the round, you can opt to just twist the knit stitches and not twist the purls. You will be consistent since you are working in the round.
Try working some ribbing with twisted stitches and compare them to regular ribbing. You will definitely notice a difference.
