2. Ribbed knitting
Ribbed knitting, or sometimes ribbed knitting, has vertical relief patterns. The fabric is made using a double bed knitting machine with two vertical weave threads. Due to its vertical rib, this knitted fabric is also easy to identify. There are two basic types of rib knitting according to the order of stitches and back stitches. The 1 × 1 rib has the order of 1 needle and 1 reverse needle, while the 2 × 2 needle has the order of 2 needles and 2 reverse needles.
