Full-Needle Rib Afghan

Material:  2/24 = 1 strand @ Ten. 4; 2/20 = 1 strand @ Ten. 5; 2/15 = 1 strand @ Ten. 6; 2/24 = 2 strands @ Ten. 8

Punch card #1 double length for Brother; card  #7A for Studio/Silver-Reed

Cast on 199 sts on main bed and 200 on ribber.  This is contrary to your rule, but makes a much neater edge.

Knit in TUCK setting to desired length, usually about 1,000 rows.  Knit 1 row in plain ribbing from right to left at a higher tension (7-10 depending on your yarn).  Bind off by taking off the first loop on the right with your latch tool, letting it go behind the latch.  Take off the first stitch on the ribber and pull through the stitch behind the latch.  Work your way across, alternating from one bed to the other.

This afghan takes about 1-1/2 pounds of 2/24 when using a single strand.
