2×2 Rib / Swiss Rib

In a 2×2 rib knit, every two wales of plain (knit) stitches on the front alternate with two wales of purl stitches on the back. This arrangement creates a balanced and reversible fabric that has a more robust ribbed texture compared to 1×1 rib. The pattern enhances both the visual appearance and the functional properties of the fabric, making it ideal for applications requiring strength and stretch.
