Fisherman's Rib Free Knit Scarf Pattern for Beginners

[@sevenrivers4808]

Thank you so much for this video. No annoying background music but just your beautiful voice talking to us. Will make this scarf for my son in Canada.

[@hookedforlifewithMBT]

You are so welcome!

[@juneciel]

The best video for knitting in Fishermans Rib, really easy to follow.👍

[@hookedforlifewithMBT]

Thank you!

[@lesleyphillips931]

I've just discovered your channel by chance and am delighted with this fisherman's rib pattern. I have enough yarn for a generous scarf and a pair of fingerless gloves for a dog-walking friend. Thank you very much for displaying the pattern.

[@rooseveltnut]

I am making this this with a super bulky yarn that I've had for years. I started out with 19 stitches across bur it was too wide for a teenage boy's scarf so I went down to 13 stitches across. PERFECT. And it's just wonderful!!! It makes so fast and it's amazingly warm. So thick and soft. The pattern is so easy too!!! I will be making one of these for lots of other folks..me next! And I'm going to make the hat for me too. THANKS SO MUCH. I can't remember when I've been so pleased with a knitting project. Oh, land the border is perfect!

[@sharikasingh408]

Your tutorial was so good that after seeing many others, I finally figured out how to do it after seeing your illustration here.. thank you so much 🙏 A big help 💖

[@sassy6292]

I’m in the middle of making the scarf and I love it. I actually now have a pattern, that is absolutely gorgeous, well installed in my brain so that I could pick up a ball of yarn and a set of needles and knit something without a written pattern. This is a real treasure to me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Also, I can now do knit below!

[@hookedforlifewithMBT]

Wonderful! Thanks so much -

[@gayathriramdas4342]

Watched you for the first time and loved it .ThankYou Very Much.

[@hookedforlifewithMBT]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Digitalhunny]

I'm a _longtime_ beginner to knitting LOL. I put it down for so long in between projects, that I have to watch videos to remember. My son requested a larger scarf for our Canadian winters. This is something new & different. Thank you for this neat little pattern. I'm working it now 🤗🥂

[@aprilm903]

The best explanation I’ve see of this pattern! Very clear and concise. Excellent demonstration. Easy for me to understand and replicate as new lefty knitter! Thanks very much!

[@hookedforlifewithMBT]

Thank you so much for your kind words!

[@SynfullyWkd67]

Thank you so much for this Tutorial! Daughrer requested a scarf, and is fussy and she loves this one! I enjoyed making it and loved how both sides are the same. I have been crocheting way longer than knitting, and once I got the pattern down I flew through it. Thanks again, God bless!

[@marybethdimarco3215]

Great tutorial, thanks. Love your sense of humor, must be something in the name. 😉

[@andreabreau2280]

What a beautiful pattern. I knitted for years and never did this stitch before. I want to pick up the needles again and want a nice scarf. This is it 😊 Thank you 😊

[@hookedforlifewithMBT]

Wonderful! Thanks so much

[@veeholly9923]

Love this pattern thanks for takin the time out to make this video, everybody gettin a handmade scarf for Christmas this year lol

[@sigridkutz4468]

This is so well explained, thank you. I made a hat in the round using this stitch, it worked out great. I did a regular knit 1, purl 1 for 2 inches, then started the fisherman’ rib. I cast on an even number of stitches, and worked a repeat of 2 rows. First row I worked: knit 1, then a purl 1 below. The second round: knit 1 below, then purl 1. It’s a little harder because you need to remember which row you are on. I had to learn how to correct mistakes. The pattern makes the project so fluffy and warm, I love it and now want to find out how to make a hood with a scarf attached for the very cold days. Sorry, now I just noticed you have a video for a hat and I will subscribe for your channel. Thanks a bunch😊

[@AprilEllerman]

Thank you Mary Beth! I’ve been looking for this specific knitting pattern for months to make a blanket for my granddaughter. Your video is very descriptive and easy to follow. Thanks again for taking the time to make your videos.

Good evening, I came across this stitch looking for another pattern, however I like how you explained the fisherman’s stitch with caution and a low tone voice. I will definitely try that pattern. Thank you 🙏 The Bronx New York Stay Coronavirus free

Very well explained, easy to follow, thank you

[@patricecooper8419]

This is a very wonderful and easy pattern! Thank you for sharing! And I understand why you would hesitate to say that the there is a right side row and wrong side row, since both sides are the same row pattern, but for me personally, I distinguish between the right side and wrong side rows, as when the tail is at the front of the project, I call it the right side, and when the tail is on the back of the project, I call it the wrong side. But I understand what you're saying, and again, I thank you very much for sharing! It's a beautiful scarf, and I love knitting!

I've just done very little knitting for now.. I'm not sure how to frog if I go wrong... I'm taking all the courage to start this pattern coz you are an amazing teacher... Wish me luck...❤️ Thank you for this video

[@hookedforlifewithMBT]

You can do it! And you can always run a lifeline when you have some of it done that you are happy with just in case you have to rip back. By running a lifeline a mean taking a strand of a different color of yarn and running in through a row of stitches you are sure is correct. If you have to rip back, the lifeline will prevent you from ripping too far.

[@Nish2490]

Thank you so much!!! This is lovely! Can you show us how to attach new yarn in the middle of this work if you run out?

[@suegendron2260]

[@lidiagatica201]

Te pregunto si todo ti tutorial hacerlo en español o que se pueda traducir ya que muy bonito tu tejido y es bello. Estaría muy agradecida. Soy de Chile y me encantó tu tejido. Gracias

[@vonmack1968]

Love the video. Especially teaching on how to identify stitch yr working. Curious why it starts with Knit 5 rows and then ends by knitting 6 rows?

[@hookedforlifewithMBT]

When one uses a long tail cast-on, as I usually do, the cast on row counts as a knit row. So cast-on + 5 rows = 6 rows, 6 rows at the end to match. Sometimes I will also add or subtract a row at the end when changing from a pattern stitch to a border to keep RS/WS consistent. Thanks for watching!

[@MoFaux]

This is a lovely project and really well demonstrated. Thanks :)

[@hookedforlifewithMBT]

Glad you liked it!

[@fionafairechild6272]

[@abeerakhras9418]

Thanks very much Clear explanation

[@superjdt]

Thank you for this easy to follow. It’ll be my first pattern. I’m always a little confused by the number of stitches. While the needle size recommended on my yarn (a nice Icelandic wool) is the same as you’re using yours looks chunkier so I’m worried it’ll be too narrow. Perhaps I’ll practice for a while to make sure I’ve got it down then redo for 25? Thanks again for the super clear instructions!

[@christinamikolajek6797]

Very Pretty 💗

[@nancywillhoft5775]

The first row I have to cast on? I have bulky polyacryl wool . I have difficulties knitting down the stitch below since it is very tight. Wool is for 8 needle.

[@olgasfabfood6638]

Thank you!

[@CntryGrl]

I'm a beginner, and the only problem I keep having is when I lose track of where I am due to having to put my work down for whatever reason, when I come back to it, I tend to K1b when I should have p1. I'd love to see a tutorial on how to undo it. (At this point ... frogging the entire project and starting over is where I'm at .... however, I keep finding that I'm K1b as I get further along.) I'd love to be able to learn how to undo it so I can save myself the frustration of having to redo the entire project. Thanks in advance if you can help.

[@hookedforlifewithMBT]

This sounds weird but two things - 1)is look at the video again where it shows you the difference between the stitch that takes a K1B (which looks like a loop or what knitters call a V), and the stitch that takes a purl (looks like a little knot, also called a purl bump). 2) I am going to say that ripping this stitch back isn’t easy because you have open stitches on two different rows - the one you were knitting in and the one below. I would try to drop the stitch that looks wrong instead of ripping the whole row, and pick it up with a crochet hook. Sadly there’s no super simple trick to that.

[@sexy59red]

@@hookedforlifewithMBT i also find a purl bump looks like a hangman's noose.makes it alot easier to tell for me. i loved your video.. all the others start with even number of stitches.

[@hookedforlifewithMBT]

I finally did it! Here is the undo video - kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6Wso2eomL-Vp9k

[@thereserosario221]

Thank yu for your nice tutorial. Would 375 yds of wool be enough to knit a decent size scarf?

[@hookedforlifewithMBT]

Depends on the weight of the yarn? Worsted or bigger, yes! Fingering or sport or DK that may not be enough.

[@juliefrench8610]

Hello, would this patten work well with double knit wool please, thank you 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@hookedforlifewithMBT]

Yes the stitch works fine in DK - it will either be more narrow, or you could add some stitches to the cast on.

[@jacckkss25]

I have no idea what pearl 1 means it would be great if u could zoom in to the stitch for a super starter who finished her first scarf :)

[@yasmindesai3107]

Hi can a blanket be knitted for babies and adult blankets. Thank you

[@hookedforlifewithMBT]

Yes absolutely you could use this stitch for any size blanket! Simply cast on more stitches, and use an even number.

[@roseanngamma813]

@@hookedforlifewithMBT I too want to make a blanket. In your video you said to use an odd number of stitches. Did I not understand that correctly? Is it different if you are increasing the size of the item?

[@NatalieBrugman-kq5lx]

Can you alternate the rib stitch with regular stitches to make a pattern?

[@hookedforlifewithMBT]

You would have to test it out. I expect the gauge would be different which might make the sides not be straight. Although that could be a design element!

[@retiredteacher4360]

Great pattern. The six K knit rows at the end, is it six rows plus the cast off row, or is the cast off row the sixth row? Thank you.

[@angelayejinshin]

Is there a video explaining how to fix a dropped stitch or like maybe messed up and linked two?

[@plehrer1234]

Could this be a throw? How many stitches would one cast on if possible?

It could absolutely be a throw - I would make a little sample in the yarn I wanted to use then do the math from there for how big I wanted the throw to be.
