Embossed Rib

It is always fun to incorporate new stitches into your knitting. The embossed rib pattern is a series of four rows of stitches that create a ribbing pattern. It works well for projects like sweaters or socks. It is a rather complex pattern that will take some time to memorize, so you may want to keep written instructions close by while creating a sample swatch. Read on to learn how to knit an embossed rib pattern.

If you haven't tried Queensland Sugar Rush, this would be a great yarn to knit a pattern on, it has such great stitch definition.  Sugar Rush is 100% Sugar Cane Viscose.
