ribbed
Teased in jest
Ribbed describes something marked by raised parallel ridges or bands.
A ribbed sweater has vertical lines of texture in the knit.
Ribbed condoms have textured surfaces.
Ribbed fabric stretches more than smooth weaves: a ribbed tank top, ribbed cuffs on a jacket.
The pattern resembles ribs—the curved bones of the chest.
