Notions:
Tapestry needle
Cable needle
I don’t recommend working ribbles without a cable needle. Due to the extra width and elasticity of ribbles (as compared with regular cables), the stitches are more likely to unravel without the safety of a cable needle - and they are a pain to fix!

Gauge: 20 sts & 32 rows = 10cm / over garter stitch panels

Oh yes and The Trouble with Ribbles… is that they eat up more yarn than you ever thought possible!
