rib knit

Ridged knit pattern

Rib knit is a stretchy fabric pattern with alternating raised and lowered vertical ridges, created by alternating knit and purl stitches.

The texture makes the fabric elastic and form-fitting, common in cuffs, collars, and waistbands of sweaters and sweatshirts: a rib knit beanie, the rib knit trim on her jacket.
