Hi,
I'm knitting a hooded jacket and the pattern asks me to: Next row: Rib 4, rib 6, rib2tog etc.... what do they mean by rib? 
Many thanks in advance ------------- http://lilypie.com">

rib
ribbing: vertical columns of knit and purl stitches, side by side, as in K1, P1 ribbing But I'm not sure what they mean by rib 4 and then rib 6. I assumer rib2tog means knit (or purl) 2 stitches together. What part of the jacket are you doing? |

Its on the back.
I've done 5 rows of K3,P3. To make up the rib part of the jacket then it asks to do the row mentioned above followed by 1st row knit 2nd row purl for 12cms to make up the back of the jacket. Reading it again I think you're right. ------------- http://lilypie.com">
