The Twisted Rib Stitch

This is a variation on the 1 x 1 rib stitch that creates a neat, gorgeous rib pattern. All stitches - both knits and purls - are worked through the back of the loop (=twisted), which results in an elegant, crisp rib.

Shown with a cast-on count of 5 stitches.   Getting chart...
