"English rib" is an ideal technique for knitting. It is used to make original warm sweaters, scarves, hats and other wardrobe items.
For beginning craftswomen, English scarf knitting is used as a springboard for moving on to more complex patterns and products. This technique is easy to use and allows the finished product to maintain its original shape during operation.
This season, the English pattern has become more popular, so we suggest knitting several models of scarves using this pattern. Due to its recognition, ease of execution and practicality, the pattern has several ways of knitting. In our article we suggest going from knitting a neck accessory in a simple way to a more complex option.
Despite the simplicity of knitting a pattern, you still need to know a few rules that will help you avoid common mistakes:
Before starting knitting the main product, in order to avoid getting a larger or smaller size, it is recommended to knit a sample measuring 10x10 cm. This is done because the yarn has different thickness, density and structure. Therefore, for each type of thread it is necessary to make an individual calculation.
English elastic is a pattern that requires a lot of thread consumption. Therefore, when purchasing material, stock up on an additional skein.
To avoid “skewedness” of the pattern, knit stitches are knitted on the back wall, purl stitches on the front wall. This rule applies to both even and odd rows.
To obtain a smooth and beautiful elastic band for a scarf, the loops should be knitted loosely without tightening them.
To make the product look perfect, you need to use new yarn for knitting. An elastic band made from loose threads will not work, since the product has already been used, and the yarn has lost its properties - elasticity and elasticity.
Choose the right knitting needles. As a rule, the size is recommended on the yarn packaging. If such information is missing, then the tool should visually be thicker than the yarn.
Basic method of English gum (the simplest)
The patterns for English elastic are not complicated; you just need to carefully follow the recommendations of experienced craftswomen.
For the sample, cast on 20 stitches plus 2 edge stitches.
As a rule, edge loops are rarely indicated on the diagram, so you need to remember that at the beginning of the row, the first (edge) loop is simply removed onto a working needle, and at the end it is knitted purl-wise.
1 r: KRM (edge), yarn over, remove a loop without knitting on a working needle, like a knitting needle, 2 loops together FACE (knit)* - repeat to the end of the row, KRM.
2 r: KRM, yarn over, remove a loop without knitting on a working needle, like a knitting needle, 2 loops together Knit (knit)* - repeat to the end of the row, KRM.
Snood scarf with English elastic band
Having in our arsenal basic knowledge of knitting an interesting pattern, we suggest knitting a snood scarf with an English elastic band using knitting needles.
Due to the fact that this pattern is considered universal, the proposed version of a knitted scarf is suitable for every family member. The only thing that needs to be taken into account is what model will be made; the amount of yarn will depend on this.
In our master class we will knit a scarf using English elastic in the round. Beginner needlewomen are recommended to knit on stocking needles. The product turns out to be seamless, which is very much appreciated by men and children, since when putting it on, you don’t have to look for where the seam is in order to remove it back.
The knitting pattern used is the simplest.
Materials for work:
Yarn (50% - wool, 50% - acrylic; 100g/120m) - 2 skeins;
Knitting needles according to yarn size.
Progress:
The principle of knitting on circular knitting needles is no different from working on straight knitting needles.
To begin, cast on 120 stitches on working knitting needles. You need to be careful when working. So that the loops on the knitting needle do not twist and point in the same direction, then the finished product will turn out smooth and neat.
We close the dialed row into a ring and begin to knit 1 row.
R 1: Yarn over the knitting needle, then the next stitch is removed on the working knitting needle, not knitted as a front stitch for the front wall. Next, the next loop is knitted. In this way *knit yarn over, knit* until the end of the row. In order not to get confused, but to quickly find the beginning, you need to mark it with a marker. Finish the row with a knit stitch
2 p: in the second row, knit a loop where there was a crochet and the next one together on the wrong side. Next, yarn over and remove without knitting the next loop. Scheme * nakid + following together purl, nakid, remove the loop * continue to the end of the row.
3 and all subsequent odd rows are knitted as 1.
4 and knit all even rows as 2.
Knit the product alternating rows together to the desired height.
Finish the last row by alternating knit and purl stitches. Then we close all the loops of the last row using any known method.
Classic scarf with a lush column
A lush column, one of the many existing options, when answering the question of what an English scarf is, how to knit it. We suggest knitting a scarf with this pattern. The finished product is soft, voluminous and truly fluffy.
Thick threads are not suitable for knitting a product with a fluffy elastic band. Otherwise, the product will turn out very thick and will not have the proper appearance. Worth noting. That this pattern will require twice as much yarn as an ordinary elastic band. Therefore, you need to stock up on an additional ball of material.
Pattern Description:
Cast on an even number of stitches on the needles.
Knit the first row (basic) alternating purl and knit stitches.
The second row is knitted as follows, purl to purl, and the knit stitch is not knitted as usual behind the back or front wall, it grabs the loop that is located below the row and is knitted as a knit stitch. Continue knitting the front row in this way until the end.
Starting from the third row, the pattern repeats the alternation of rows 1 and 2 with each other.
This is the final result obtained when using this method of making a scarf.

Good afternoon, our dear readers! We are pleased to welcome you to a new master class on the site Craftswoman! We hope that it will be useful and interesting for you, because the cold weather has already arrived, and knitters have begun to work tirelessly, warming themselves and their loved ones by knitting hats, scarves, mittens, snoods, sweaters...
There are many types of “rubber bands”: double, triple, volumetric, fan, diagonal and so on.
Most often used four types for knitting:
- simple 1x1 (alternating knit and purl stitches);
- French;
- English (patent);
- lush.
In this article we will look in more detail at how to knit a scarf or a hat using the “English rib” pattern. By the way, a hat made of mohair with a double lapel in the “Takori” style, made of this pattern, has come back into fashion.
English gum
It is popular in knitting because it has no front or back side, both sides of the ribbed fabric look the same. Since the pattern is double-sided, it is used for knitting hats, scarves, snoods and warm sportswear. The product stretches well and is quite loose and voluminous. The product is elastic and holds its shape well.
A scarf knitted with an English elastic band looks more impressive than a regular elastic band. The only drawback is that the yarn consumption will be a little more than for a hat or scarf knitted with regular or French knitting.
We can knit in the round or on 2 needles with straight fabric. The result is loose and loose, this technique is suitable for knitting bulky projects.
To knit a hat, use wool or wool blend yarn. Angora and mohair knitting is also used in knitting winter accessories
In our example, the hat is knitted from Alize yarn 40% mohair, 60% acrylic. Yarn consumption - 500m, we knit in two threads.
We take knitting needles several times thicker than our threads, but not so that the knitting becomes loose or tight.
Knitters often have a question about how to knit an English rib in the round. When knitting in this way, odd rows are knitted in the same way as with regular knitting, and in even rows, instead of a knit stitch, a purl loop is knitted.
For knitting, the number of loops divisible by three is cast on the knitting needles.
English knitting pattern
The new row begins with removing the edge, then knitting a front loop.
and after it you need to remove one purl without knitting.
It is simply transferred to the second instrument. The working thread should be located in front of the work.
First row- cast on an odd number of loops. We knit one front loop, then make a straight yarn over, and remove the next loop without knitting, leaving the working thread behind the work, and knitting until the very end of the row.
We start the second row knit like this - we start the row with a straight yarn over, remove one loop, do not knit it, leave the thread for work, the loop and yarn over from the previous row need to be knitted together with one knit stitch. Such actions alternate throughout the entire series. Yarn over, remove the loop, knit the previous loop and yarn over.
Third row similar to the second row. We knit the loop and yarn over together with one knit stitch, then make a straight yarn over and remove the next loop without knitting, the thread is at work.
Since the knitting pattern will be clear even to beginners, do such manipulations until the very end.
A hat or scarf knitted with English elastic will stretch out a lot after washing, keep this in mind. The thicker the knitting needles, the more the knitting will stretch.
Let's tell you some subtleties: The capes in the pattern add volume, but no holes are formed, so the product turns out soft, loose, with a voluminous looseness effect. Therefore, the pattern looks ideal on items such as scarves, hats and berets, wide leg warmers, sweaters, including men’s, and much more. The classic method of knitting English, patent rib looks universal on both the front and back sides.
Know before choosing this pattern that it will require much more yarn than any other openwork pattern to knit the same product.
Subtleties and secrets of knitting
- To get an even elastic band and avoid skewed edges, the set of loops must be made with a thickened edge. It is necessary to finish the work with a double thread.
- Do not use the rib pattern on items of clothing that “hold” their shape, such as sleeve cuffs or the bottom of a sweater.
- Observe the proportions; the thicker the yarn, the thicker the knitting needles should be. Experienced knitters recommend knitting the front stitches on the front wall, then you will protect the pattern from distortion, and the product will be elastic and smooth.

Video master class: how to knit English rib
Text prepared by: Veronica
English rib is the simplest knitting pattern that exists in this type of needlework. Very often this pattern is used in knitting the simplest things, such as scarves. Therefore, our article will discuss in detail the process of knitting a scarf with an English elastic band with photos and videos, which even a novice knitter can handle.
Before knitting a scarf with an English rib, let's look at what the pattern diagram looks like with a description. Its knitting proceeds as follows:
- 1 rub. starts with the edge, then yarn over, remove 1 stitch without knitting and knitting. p. Continue this knitting until the end, finishing the row of edge stitches;
- 2 r. just like the first one, starts from the edge, then remove 1 stitch without knitting, yarn over together with knits. etc. and so on until the very end, ending the chrome strip. P.;
- 3 r. will be the final one, it repeats the second stripe, which is described above.
If this is your first job, then this English elastic pattern pattern is the best option for beginners. To prevent the product from coming out tight, it is necessary to make a set of buttonholes with thickening, and their number should be a multiple of the number two.

We knit a scarf with the “English rib” pattern
To tie a scarf with an English rubber band, you need to prepare the following materials:
- 400 gr. natural wool thread. Choose a yarn that is not scratchy and pleasant to the touch;
- knitting needles number 3.5 or maybe number 4.
From 400 gr. yarn should make a scarf two meters long and 15 centimeters wide. This will be a very comfortable product, especially for those who like to wrap a scarf around their neck in several layers to protect themselves from cold and wet weather. Some people like to tie scarves over their clothes. It all depends on your personal preferences.
So, dial thirty-three loops with knitting needles, as shown in the photo.
The first loop must be removed, and the next knit in the front way. Then we yarn over the knitting needle in the left hand, and remove the third buttonhole with the wrong side together with the yarn over. Knit the new link inside out again, and then remove the inside out again. p. together with yarn over. Thus, it is necessary to knit the entire first strip, purling the last stitch in the row.
Turn the work in the other direction and start making out the second row. In it, the first p. is removed, and the next is knitted out. way. Next, put the thread on the knitting needle of your left hand, and remove the new link with the wrong side along with the yarn over. After this, make a double buttonhole on the knitting needle, which was formed by removing it in 1 p. purl p. and sketch. This is a double link knit knit. way.
Further, the pattern of the English scarf elastic band continues by analogy. In new rows, be sure to remove the 1st p., Out. items are removed together with yarns, and doubled buttonholes are knitted. way, leaving at the end of the row 1 out. Please keep in mind that while you will find rows knitted incorrectly, you will not be able to lift the links in the pattern being described. As a result, the scarf will need to be unraveled to the place where the error occurred and the product must be re-tied. Do not rush during the work process so that you do not have to delay knitting the scarf for a long time.
Having reached the length indicated above, bind off the stitches in the last row and cut the thread. Our warm product is completely ready! The knitting will be completely complete if you decorate it with neat and even fringe, which can be easily done using a crochet hook. In the video you can see how to knit a scarf using an English elastic band.
Video: DIY scarf knitting tutorial
In the fall, I decided to diversify my wardrobe with bright colors and knit a green scarf with an English elastic band. Perfectly protects from October winds and serves as an attractive accessory.
For the scarf I chose cashmere threads, which are very soft, but at the same time warm. You will need about two hundred grams of yarn. The size of the finished scarf will be approximately 150×10, not taking into account the length of the tassels, but then it will stretch further. It is better to choose long knitting needles.
So, to knit a simple scarf with English rib measuring 150 x 10 cm, I needed:
- knitting needles No. 3.5
- knitting threads - about 200 g.
How to knit a scarf using an English rib
Let's start knitting. We cast on thirty loops on the knitting needle (twenty-eight main and two edge), knit an additional row alternately with a regular elastic band: one front, one purl, alternating until the end.
The main pattern of the scarf is an English pattern
English ribbing is knitted simply and looks beautiful: remove the edge stitch, knit a knit stitch, then yarn over; We remove the purl loop without knitting - simply throwing the loops onto a working knitting needle. The thread must be in front of the work. By this principle, we knit all the rows.
Having connected until the desired length of the scarf is reached, close the loops of the last row as follows:
In the first and second loops we thread the right knitting needle from right to left, grab the working thread with the end of the right knitting needle and pull it through these loops. We transfer each new loop to the left knitting needle and knit it with the next loop.
Knit and purl stitches must be knitted and purled, respectively.
If you sew the ends of the scarf together at this stage, you will end up with a fashionable one.
How to make tassels on a scarf
Now we decorate our scarf with tassels. The length of the brushes on each side was 6 cm.
From the same yarn I cut threads 12 cm long. For convenience when cutting threads, you can use a book or notebook. We wrap the thread around the book, then cut it evenly along one side. For one scarf tassel you will need eight thread loops.
They are secured to the scarf with a hook: in this case, the threads are pulled through a loop and tightened at the edge of the scarf. The tassels are made at a short distance from each other, mine just happened to be under the facial rows. After fixing the tassels, they need to be aligned.
That's all - a simple scarf that even a novice needlewoman can knit is ready. Knits very quickly and easily, but what a nice thing! And it will warm and delight you for many more cool autumn days.
Patterns for knitting a scarf
Patterns for knitting scarves with your own hands. With all the variety of ready-made knitted items offered, there are still many fans of do-it-yourself knitting, for example. One of the simplest knitted items that even beginners can do is a scarf.
It would seem easier to buy a ready-made scarf in a store. However, you may not always be satisfied with the combination of price and quality of the finished knitted product. But you can choose good and inexpensive yarn for knitting in the store. As a result, you will have a scarf that will not roll up even after repeated washings. Moreover, it is not always possible to match a ready-made scarf to the color of your clothes. And if you know how to knit, in a few evenings you will knit yourself a scarf of your favorite color, length, width and texture.
Depending on the purpose of the scarf, you can choose a knitting pattern. Scarves are often knitted with an elastic band. This pattern allows the product to be elastic and fit well around the neck. The narrower the scarf, the easier it is to wrap it around your neck and fasten your clothes. It is faster and easier to knit a scarf on thick knitting needles (for example, knitting needles No. 5-8). On average, a regular scarf will require 200 grams of yarn (2 skeins).
Knitting a scarf with a 2x2 elastic band
A scarf knitted with a 2x2 elastic band (knit 2, purl 2) looks good. The scarf knits quickly, the fabric is more elastic.
Knitting a scarf with an elastic band 1x1
The scarf can also be knitted with a 1x1 elastic band (1 knit, 1 purl). The fabric will be denser, and knitting will take longer).
Scarf knitted with 1x1 elastic. For knitting, we used lingonberry-colored merino yarn (50% merino wool, 50% acrylic), 5mm knitting needles. There were 40 stitches cast on the needles. Scarf width - 19 cm. Yarn consumption is about 150 gr.
Thick thread scarf
Scarf, also knitted with 1x1 ribbing, but only with thick threads. For knitting, milky-colored yarn (25% wool, 75% acrylic) was used, knitting needles 8mm. There were 30 stitches cast on the needles. Scarf width - 21 cm. Yarn consumption is about 200 gr.
The beginning and end of the scarf are tied with a 1x1 elastic band in a checkerboard pattern. That is, the first six rows are knitted in the order: 1 knit stitch, 1 purl stitch, etc. Next 6 rows: purl 1, knit 1, etc. After 6 rows, change the order again.

Shawl pattern for knitting a scarf
You can do it easily and simply by knitting a scarf in garter stitch. That is, we knit all the rows on both sides with facial loops. Garter stitch looks good on soft and fluffy threads.
The photo below shows a scarf knitted in a garter pattern, alternating with rows knitted in stockinette stitch. The end of the scarf is decorated with a pattern of knit and purl loops. The pattern diagram is given above. The main fabric of the scarf is knitted by alternating patterns as follows:
42 rows - scarf pattern (even and odd rows - front loops);
2 rows - shawl pattern (odd row - front loops, even row - also front loops);
4 rows - front surface (odd rows - front loops, even rows - according to the pattern - purl loops);
We repeat the alternation from the very beginning.
