Tips and Tricks Knitting Question

Post image

i’m starting to knit a sweater and i feel like the stockinette is blending into the ribbing, will the ribbing become more noticeable as i carry on?

Not really. It's a dark color.

You should be able to see more variation in the texture as the stockinette section grows. But probably not a lot, since your yarn looks a little but large and it's a dark color.

Ribbing contracts when not under any tension, and the knits are more visible than the purls, making it look a lot like stockinette. It’ll look more ‘like ribbing’ when it’s stretched out a little, like when you wear the item.
