Corrugated Ribbing

Woolly Wormhead

10,305 views

Corrugated ribbing - a colourwork technique used in the borders or brims of our projects to provide stretch - is not as complicated as it looks! In this tutorial I talk through how to get a stretchy edge, how to best use it in combination with my favourite ribbed cast-on, and how to maintain an even tension.

I need to get use to this. As an English thrower, im pretty fast with having both strands in my right hand

I've actually done this ribbing by mistake and loved it and couldn't remember how I'd done it, so thank you so much for this tutorial!

Thank you for this video! Not only do I want to try this - I have done this before but not as you explain it - but I want to knit the pattern you are working on now! This was explained so clearly....

I love the look of corrugated ribbing and always wondered how to knit it. Thank you!

I "accidentally" did corrugated ribbing, thinking that I created a look, but then learned about brioche, but then realized that it wasn't the same. Thanks for the demonstration, as now I know what it was that I did! 😅😅😅😅

That’s a gorgeous design! Really nice attention to detail in all your designs. I made the Construct hat for my son and he loves it.

I can't wait until this chevron pattern comes out. I like those little tiny tie ins of color between the zig zag rows. Thank you for sharing this ribbing technique too.

I'm looking forward to the new hat coming out! Love this brim as I don't like a folded brim hat and your instructions are very clear and concise. That is much appreciated!

Love chevrons, can't wait for your new "unnamed" hat to be available. Thanks for the tutorial, I'm knitting my first corrugated ribbing on a Xmas project. Perfect timing.
