Can Anyone Explain What I'm Trying to Say?

[evilawyer]

Yes, even I am confounded. I'm trying to find the name of a particular knitting stitch so I can look it up to relearn how to do it, but I can't quite describe it. It involves knitting into the stitch below the one that's on your needle. I remember using it on every other stitch on one row, then knitting or purling (I can't remember which) on the next row, with the two rows repeated.

Does this have a name? I am remembering how to do it incorrectly?

It sounds like a fisherman's rib - see http://www.ehow.com/how_2126027_knit-fishermans-rib-pattern.html ?

Does Brioche stitch sound right?

There's a whole group of stitches that involve knitting into the row below. In fact, recent book by Duvekot, called "Knit One Below" is all about many cool permutations)

Yeah, I'd say it's a brioche, of which fisherman's rib is probably the most "famous" brioche pattern.
