You know how to knit, and you know how to purl. Now it's time to put those two basic stitches together to create a third—the stockinette stitch.

The purl stitch isn't as fancy as it sounds—nothing bejeweled or bedazzled. It's just the reverse of the knit stitch, plain and simple.

As if its name weren't a dead giveaway, the knit stitch is the most basic of knitting stitches, and a must-know for all aspiring knitters.

The rib stitch, or ribbing, is often used on the edges of pieces where you need a snug fit, because it's stretchy and doesn't curl. Best of all, since you've already learned the knit stitch and purl stitch, you're practically already done.
