Ribbed Diagonal Lace Free Knitting Stitch

Ribbed Diagonal Lace Free Knitting Stitch by Knitting Bee.

I love this stitch, it creates a lace diagonal pattern and it is completely ribbed, so stretch would be great to use in tees, tanks, sweaters and dresses. you can use it for scarves because this free knitting stitch also has the added benefit of being reversible!
