My secret for perfect Rib stitches - knitting

Thank you so very much for sharing this technique!!! I have not seen the combination method where you knit regular knits in front leading leg and purl through the back leading leg. Your way of decrasing the gap/yarn on 1x1 ribbing is very easy and fast for me since I knit continental Norwegian style like you do for your knits but I struggle with finding a good way to purl. I can do the Norwegian style purling but it takes longer and can be very tiring on my hands. Does this type of knit/purl have a name?

Lovely

Does this only work in the round?

This reminds me of a Norwegian purl, are you familiar with Norwegian purl and do you think this purl technique resembles it? Do you knit Eastern or Combination? it looks to me like the leading leg of your purl stitch is in the back (and I think in Western, it is in the front). I am trying to analyze what you are doing because this is the nicest 1x1 ribbing I have ever seen! Are you holding your yarn double?

This is amazing, I will never purl any other way

great video with clear explanations. could you explain the use of this technique to make 2x2 ribs flat (back and forth). Thanks for your help.

Excellent! Thank you so much!

Can't wait to try this technique on my next ribbed project! Thank you. Great video & clear instructions!

It's similar to a twisted purl stitch. Hard for me to follow because I don't knit continental.
I'll stick to knitting in the back of the knit stitch.
