I just discovered you today and my mystery is solved after over 50 years of knitting. I have been knitting in the Russian style!! I am self taught and have always knitted in the back! I never liked the pick or even continental method. I knew I was different by always liked the outcomes. Now I know it’s called Russian style. I’m an American so I don’t know why I learned this way but I love it!!
This is a great tutorial, thank you for the new technique, I was looking for a type of ribbing that would be snug enough for a waistband and this is perfect!
We work each right-side row in a classic "knit 1, purl 1" rib and we knit the knits and slip the purls with the yarn at the front of the work in every wrong-side row. Happy knitting!
Of course! When working in the round, [knit 1, purl 1] in round 1. In round 2, purl the purls and slip the knits with the yarn at the back of the work. Happy knitting :-)
Yes, Judy. If the pattern does not include selvedges already, then you need to add selvedge stitches to the number of stitches you cast on. Happy knitting :-)
Unless the hat is very tight, this type of ribbing should work fine. Test it on a swatch to make sure you are happy with the amount of stretch. Good luck :-)
Yours looks great. If my pattern calls for 50 stitches and i add the single slip stitch at the beginning how does that affect my pattern with that extra stitch? I'd like to use it on my new sweater project. Thanks :)
Hi Cathy. Usually, selvedge stitches are not included in the stitch count (unless the pattern states otherwise), so if you want to add a slip-stitch selvedge to one side of your project, add 1 stitch to the number of stitches recommended in the pattern and cast on 51 stitches. Then the stitch pattern will not be shifted by one stitch. Happy knitting :-)
@@10rowsaday Thanks a lot. I forgot to say that I was making the sweater in the round with the ribbing for the neck so I don't know how that would work with no seam. I'd still love a straighter neater ribbing but i don't know if that's possible in this case.
When you make this stitch in the round, repeat the sequence of [knit 1, purl 1] in one round, and work [slip 1 with yarn at back, purl 1] in the next round. Happy knitting!

Looks good for sock cuffs. (UPDATE) Works great for sock cuffs, really cushy and not an excessive amount of stretch. Thanks!
How do you do it in the round?

It is also called Eastern uncrossed, and it is actually the oldest form of knitting known to date!
This is just so simple and gives such a perfect result ! Who would have thought it ? !!!! Many thanks, Maryna - as always 🥰😀
I am so happy I found your channel. I will use this technique to finish my sweater. Thank you
Excellent! And so simple! I'll definitely use this technique in the future, when I don't need a whole lot of elasticity.
Hi Maryna. Very pretty ribbing! Love the technique! Thank you for another great tutorial! Have a lovely weekend.💕
This is a great tutorial, thank you for the new technique, I was looking for a type of ribbing that would be snug enough for a waistband and this is perfect!
Thank you! You always come up with something simple, unique, good to have in your "bag of knitting tricks"!
Genius. I'm starting a cuff right now and will be using this . Thank you.
This is brilliant and going to try on my next project - thank you!
Another great tip! Thank you Maryna! ❤☮️
Very interesting! I WILL try this! Thank you. Note - It would easier to see if the yarn was a different color (more contrast than the needle)!
Thank you for this tutorial! 😁🧶
Thanks for such a good tutorial!
Hello, love your tutorials! Are the slipped stitches done on the right or wrong side of the fabric? thank you!
We work each right-side row in a classic "knit 1, purl 1" rib and we knit the knits and slip the purls with the yarn at the front of the work in every wrong-side row. Happy knitting!
Thank you will have to try
Fantastic 🎉
Lovely idea🥰thx
Can this be used knitting in the round on circular needles?
Of course! When working in the round, [knit 1, purl 1] in round 1. In round 2, purl the purls and slip the knits with the yarn at the back of the work. Happy knitting :-)
Thanks!
Thank you so much, Hope. I appreciate your support. Thank you!
In other patterns, like sweaters, should I add an extra stitch on each end of the cast on to do the slip stitch salvage edges?
Yes, Judy. If the pattern does not include selvedges already, then you need to add selvedge stitches to the number of stitches you cast on. Happy knitting :-)
Nice!!!!
Can you use that technique in some way with a 2X2 rib??
Yes, you can, but there will be horizontal strands on the wrong side of the work, and the fabric will be less stretchy. Happy knitting :-)
It looks beautiful, thank you! I wonder, since you said it’s tighter than normal 1x1 ribbing, would it stretch enough for a hat band?
Unless the hat is very tight, this type of ribbing should work fine. Test it on a swatch to make sure you are happy with the amount of stretch. Good luck :-)

@@melvinbeli1 for knitting in the round, don't add extra stitches, just slip the knit stitches every second round.
@@10rowsaday Thanks so much!
Thank you for this! How would you do it in the round? just one row the way you did the front and one row the way you did the back?
When you make this stitch in the round, repeat the sequence of [knit 1, purl 1] in one round, and work [slip 1 with yarn at back, purl 1] in the next round. Happy knitting!
@@10rowsaday thank you!
How does a tubular cast on (number of stitches) work with this technique?
The first row is the same as 1x1 ribbing, so this method does not affect the cast on edge in any way. Happy knitting!
Thanks!
I found casting on the extra stitches confusing. Please make a video that combines the two techniques. Thanks.
Note to self: Use on Sock cuffs and Sweater Cuffs & Edging
The purpose of the ribbing is to be stretch tho...
True, but sometimes it stretches way too much for our needs. That's when this method is helpful. Happy knitting!
