We Like Brioche
Brioche stitch creates something much like ribbing, but without the stretch. The fabric is very dense and plush and the pattern is simply addictive.

Brioche Stitch (CO odd number):
Row 1: k1, *(yo, sl1, k1)*
Row 2: k1, *(k2tog, yo, sl1)* to last stitch, k1
Row 3: k1, *(yo, sl1, k2tog)* to last two stitches, yo, sl1, k1
Repeat rows 2 and 3.
When binding off, knit yo/k2tog stitches together as one stitch.
