Ribber Lesson 10 Fisherman Rib

[@SusannaCarolina-x6v]

God Bless you Diana Sullivan!! I'm not even religious, just very grateful for you making your videos!

[@KatieEgloff]

I simply LOVE all of your videos. I have learned SO much from you! I have crochet for years, hand knitted for three years and was gifted a Brother 930e with Ribber. When I first started I was so frustrated with my inability to catch on, but now I feel very confident in using the machine and troubleshooting. Thank you. Thank you.

Yes, I've seen it called Brioche stitch in some older books.

I'm planning to make a scarf using the Fisherman's Rib you described. How do you bind off so that the knitting is not pulled together (less wide) at the end? Do you transfer all stitches onto the main bed and do a latch tool bindoff (around posts)? BTW, I have your beginning DVD set and appreciate your demonstrations.

I want to know the same thing, how to make the cast off a reverse of the cast on.

[@vutEwa]

@@iamrocketray you can on the machine with the exception of the "zig zag row" which needs to be done by hand. just reverse the steps and then take a needle with yarn in it and sew the zig zag row manually. In hand knitting they call it a tubular bindoff.

Is Fisherman rib also called Brioche stitch, at least in hand knitting?

I really love the idea that 1/2 Fisherman's Rib can be used for plus sized clothing - is there a way to convert standard patterns that is done in plain stockinette with 1/2 Fishermn's rib? Or do I just have to look for patterns specifically for this stich

[@dianaknits]

It's just arithmetic! First of all, make sure the pattern is one that FITS and that you are satisfied with. Make a proper gauge swatch in the yarn and stitch you want to use. Block and launder it like you will the garment. Measure carefully and calculate carefully. Double-check! Then you can adjust the numbers in the pattern you want to use. Adjust the row gauge and adjust the stitch gauge separately. Divide your gauge by the pattern's gauge for rows and then for stitches. Just because your row gauge is .87 of their row gauge doesn't mean your stitch gauge will be the same ratio. You need two separate ratios. Every time I've done it, they've been different. For instance, in your example, you're going to English Rib, which is wider and shorter than stockinette. You will have a weirdly distorted shape if you don't calculate the rows with one ratio and calculate the stitches with another. BTW I am a big proponent of using a KnitLeader, where you draw a shape on the mylar sheet and then knit to fit using your yarn and your stitch and row gauge.
