Rib Stitches Library

KOCO Knitting's Hand-Knit Stitches to Inspire Designers and Brands

Rib stitches offer so much more than just functional cuffs and hems. We work with many different rib variations that can transform a plain garment into something with real character. The thing about ribs is how the visually unpredictable combinations, when done tastefully, become genuinely artistic. It’s not just about K1P1 anymore; different rib patterns create completely different moods and textures across your design.

What’s really clever about ribbing is using it for entire garments. Because of the elastic nature of the stitch, you can eliminate the necessity for multiple sizes—one garment fits a range of bodies beautifully. This opens up possibilities for more experimental sizing and reduces production complexity. Whether you want subtle texture or bold vertical lines, the right rib choice gives even the simplest design real personality.
