This design is the eleventh of a series—twelve explorations of different knit-purl stitch patterns throughout 2025. This diagonal stitch pattern is an interesting, classic rib. The pattern document includes general instructions for working the diagonal stitch pattern flat and in the round, as well as having the rib lean in opposite directions. Specific instructions for a sample square and a pair of fingerless mitts are also included. You’ll also find a few designer ideas to help inspire your own designs featuring the diagonal rib stitch pattern.

This is an easy project. The techniques you will need to know, or learn, to complete this project are:

• cast on and bind off;
• knit and purl.
