Knitting through the back loop or making twisted rib stitches is what we're going to talk about today. Here you see I've been working on a leg warmer top. I've added a twisted rib stitch. I find that the twisted rib or the knit through the back loop knit stitch is more, it raises itself up from the knitted fabric. It is tighter, it's more sturdy, so it's less elastic in the stretching, but it's still plenty elastic as you can see. And it's just a little bit prettier. I think it gives it a more finished look. Let's jump in to how to do it. For a traditional knit stitch, you would go in from the front of your stitch and wrap your yarn. But in this case, we want it to twist. We want that right leg to come over the top of the left of your stitch itself. So we go in through the back. So here's how the stitches on my needle. You go from the back side through the back side. This is traditional, this is through the back loop. Wrap the yarn and then you have a twisted stitch. You can see right there. Next, we're going to purl this stitch. Normally you would purl like this, right? But for a twisted stitch, you would normally knit a purl like this. Go in from this side into the front leg and wrap, correct? Well, for a twisted stitch or purl through the back loop, you go in from the back side. Do you see that? So that stitch itself is getting a little bit twisted. So that again, the left leg is laying on top of the right leg. This way, they lay flat in there next to each other as they normally would. And if you go in from the back left side, you're twisting it. And so then you knit. And you can see on the back that that stitch is pulled over and it's twisted. So again, we'll do knitting through the back loop. Means go in from the back side, right to left. And purling through the back is go in through the left back side and purl, okay? Right back for a through the back loop and left, left back for a purling. So that's basically how it is. You'd like to see me do. Please leave a comment below.
