Knit Echo

Soft Rib stitch

Soft Rib Stitch echoes the look of classic knit ribbing — with clean vertical texture and soft, structured fabric that works beautifully for garments and accessories.

🌿

This pattern includes two versions: one dense and warm for hats, scarves, snug accessories, or structured garments like crochet jackets; the other lighter and more flexible, with subtle openwork that’s ideal for sweaters and cardigans.

Both versions are based on the same stitch structure, making it easy to explore and adapt for different types of projects.

What You’ll Need

Yarn & tools:

  • This stitch works with a variety of yarns, but shows best in soft, elastic fibers with smooth structure. The swatches shown here are made with DROPS Karisma — a worsted (DK) weight yarn.
  • We recommend using a hook 1–2 sizes larger than the label suggests for a more relaxed, wearable fabric.

Skill Level: Intermediate

Design detail:

This stitch is intended for side-to-side construction, which gives the fabric its signature vertical texture — but it can also be worked bottom-up or top-down, resulting in horizontal ribbing instead.
