In this video I will teach you step by step how to work this beautiful haribone rib seamlessly. I already have a tutorial on how to work the stitch flat which you can find linked in the description below and in the card above. In fact all the videos in this technique can be found on my channel and in the description down below. Many knitters claim it is impossible to knit this texture in the round but I will show you that it is actually very doable. Grab your needles and yarn and let's get started. For this pattern we need an even number of stitches because the pattern We are working in the round and therefore we need an even stitch count. I cast on an odd number 75 stitches to account for join in the round. One stitch will be decreased during the join leaving 74. So I take out one needle and join the work in the round. How do I do this? I slip the first stitch from the left needle to the right pass the last cast on stitch over it, pull it tight and return the stitches back to the left needle. I'll place a marker at the beginning of the round and continue. This is setup row 1. Knit 1, Purl 1. Knit 1, Purl 1. Both knit and purl stitches are worked using the standard continental method also known as the western continental method. This method ensures that the every stitch on the right needle sits with its right leading leg facing forward. That is crucial for this pattern and that is how I will be demonstrating it. If you knitting style results in the same stitch orientation stick to it. If your method changes the amount of the stitches you will need to adjust my instruction on your own. Work knit 1, purl 1 to the end of the round. I have finished the first setup round. As you can see it ends with a purl stitch. That is correct. If you have to knit in a round this means you made a mistake somewhere. Now I move on to setup round 2. Here I take the stitch from the round below and place it onto the left needle. The first round is the trickiest. Knit it and slip the current stitch unworked knitwise. The next stitch I simply purl. I work like this to the end of the round. Place the stitch from the round below onto the left needle, knit it, slip the current stitch unworked. Next purl 1. Again place the stitch from the round below onto the left needle, knit it, slip the current stitch unworked. Purl 1. And once more. Loop from row below onto the left needle, knit it, slip current stitch unworked, purl 1. Repeat to the end of round. I have finished the second setup round and next come the pattern repeats. There are two repeat rounds in total which are worked identically. Round 1 of repeat. Work the double loop from the previous round together as a knit stitch. Knit two together. Next is purl column. Bring the working yarn to the front of the work, slip the current purl stitch knitwise unworked to the right needle, tilt the fabric forward, catch the loop from one round below with the right needle and place it onto the left needle. Do not go deeper than one round. Purl that lifted stitch using standard western continental purl. Let's do that again. We have a double loop. Insert the needle from left to right and knit two together. As you see the front leg crosses over, creating a twisted stitch. That is the exact effect we need. Next is a purl. Yarn in front, slip the stitch knitwise, lift the loop from one round below onto the left needle and purl it. Again, knit two together. Yarn in front, slip one knitwise. Slipping knitwise is essential, otherwise you won't get the twisted stitch in the next round. Catch the stitch from the round below, place it on the left needle and purl it. Knit two together, slip one knitwise with yarn in front, lift loop, place it on the left needle and purl it. Repeat to the end of round. Round one is done. Moving to round two of repeat. Slip marker. Pick up the twisted stitch from the round below with the right needle. Place it onto the left needle and knit it. Slip the current stitch knitwise without working it. Next is double loop. Purl two together. Again, lift that small twisted stitch from the previous round onto the left needle, knit it, slip the current stitch knitwise and purl two together. Look, the haribone V shape is already forming and clearly visible. Repeat to the end. Lift loop from below onto left needle, knit it, slip one knitwise, purl two together. Again, lift that small twisted stitch from the previous round onto the left needle, knit it, slip the current stitch knitwise, purl two together. That completes round two. Now repeat round one and two to your desired height. Never repeat the setup rounds. They are worked only once at the beginning. The more rounds you knit the easier it gets. It is only difficult to catch the stitch from the round below in the initial rounds. As the fabric grows it becomes much simpler. Knit two together, yarn in front, slip one knitwise, tilt the fabric, catch the twisted stitch from the round below, it is easy to see now, place it on the left needle and purl it. Knit two together, yarn in front, slip one knitwise, lift loop onto left needle, purl one, knit two together, yarn in front, slip one knitwise, lift loop onto left needle, purl one, knit two together. Repeat to the end of round. That was the odd round. Slip marker. Now for the even round. Round two. You can see the hairband texture clearly now. Just like before, lift the loop from the round below onto the left needle, knit it, slip the current knit stitch Again, find the hairband loop from the round below, put it on the left needle, knit it, slip current stitch unworked, purl two together. Lift loop from row below, place on left needle, knit it, slip stitch unworked and purl two together. Lift the loop from row below onto left needle, knit it, slip current stitch unworked, purl two together. Lift the loop from row below onto left needle, knit it, slip current stitch unworked, purl two together. Work like this all the way to the end of the round. A quick tip on needle choice. Always choose larger needles than recommended on your yarn label. I'm using YarnArt Jeans Crazy which recommends 3.5 millimeters US 4 needles but I am knitting on 5.0 millimeters US 8 needles. If I used 3.5 millimeters, the fabric would turn out far too tight and dense. 3.5 millimeter does not work for this stitch at all. So, here I have knitted several rounds of this hair ribbon rib in the round and as you can see everything worked out perfectly. And next I will probably continue knitting with the same hair ribbon pattern only in stockinette stitch. But that will be in the next video.
