My favorite techniques: twisted rib

 I’ve been a long time fan for twisted rib. I prefer it simply because it gives a nice and stretchy, yet a firm edge for knits. And in my opinion a twisted rib recovers best its original shape after stretching.

Twisted rib with K1tbl, P1tbl sts:


Twisted rib in a yarn with a tight spin might not feel as nice against your skin as in a yarn with a looser spin. To avoid this kind of uncomfortable detail I usually knit twisted rib for sock and sleeve cuffs, that comes tight against your sensitive skin, with a “twist”: on RS rep *K1tbl, P1* and on WS rep *K1, P1tbl*:


This way stitches on WS are a bit softer and smoother against the skin.
