Icelandic Bind Off – A stretchy knitting bind off that pairs well with a German Twisted Cast On. Here’s a tutorial.
Fisherman’s rib – A knitting stitch that creates a one over one (k1, p1) style rib, but by knitting one stitch in the row below instead of working a regular knit one, a three-dimensionality is created. This trait makes the fisherman’s rib stitch mimic that of a brioche rib stitch while being much easier to knit.
Gauge & dimensions: 16 sts & 18 rows over 4″ in fisherman’s rib stitch. Finished blanket measures 24.5″ wide and 36″ long (not including pom poms, which are 45 mm).
