Do you want to learn how to make your rib stitch look neater? Then this tutorial will not only show you some very important tips and tricks to improve your tension and stitch definition, it will also show you WHY things are happening. The thing is. When you transition from a knit to a purl stitch, you create the most slack between stitch compared to all other possible transition combinations. That's because the stitches sit on your needles twisted and only become flat after you drop them off the needles. To get a neater tension, you can employ various techniques to shorten that bit of extra slack you create there.
