Hi all and Blessings from Wellington NZ!!
I have a query that I know will get answered here so here I go... I saw a woman wearing a cardigan and it looked like a lovely openweave stitch *not hand knitted* and the underside of the garment looked like fishermans rib. I've not knitted this stitch before and have no garments like that at home for me to look at.. so I am wondering, if anyone might know what it is called?!?!
I hope I have explained it well...??
Thanks in advance Rach
Welcome to RCTY. Maybe this site will help you:
Hi Rach from Dunedin NZ!
I wonder if what you are describing is something like waffle stitch (row 1: k1 through back, p1. row 2: p1 through back, k1.) or rice stitch (row 1: knit. row 2: k1 through back, p1.)?

Actually, what does fisherman's rib look like?
Seems like nowadays, when people say "fisherman's rib," they are talking about twisted rib. Not at all the stitch Zimmerman meant, the one she thought people might confuse with brioche stitch.
IME, the back of twisted rib looks just like ordinary rib. The back of fisherman's rib looks like slightly lumpy stockinette.

You're very welcome. I like this one myself, which is why I shared it.
