The Perfect Rib
One detail that can make or break a design is the way the ribbing flows (or doesn’t flow) into the main pattern. We’ll cover how to find the perfect rib for any pattern, even pesky cabled patterns where the gauge changes. This is a great way to add a little extra detail when working from sock patterns and also useful when designing your own.
This class is a one hour wonder that repeats three times in each three hour block it is offered in.

Yarn: Yarn for swatching. The exact weight doesn’t matter. It should be solid coloured and not too dark so that you can see stitch definition.
