    This pattern uses multiples of 8 + or - 1 stitch. You can alter the pattern to suit your needs or creative tendencies. If you’d like a 2x2 rib, you’d multiply 2 by the number of repeats you’d like for our pattern we’ve used (16 repeats of 8 )-1. The long size is simply doubled. Try a 3x3 rib or a 5x5. The possibilities are endless.
