The stitch pattern for 1×1 Ribbing was incorrectly written as regular 1×1 Ribbing and should have been 1×1 Twisted Ribbing. The pattern has been corrected to read:

1×1 Twisted Ribbing (odd number of stitches; 2-row repeat) Row 1 (RS): Knit 1-tbl, *purl 1-tbl, knit 1-tbl; repeat from * to end. Row 2 (WS): Purl 1-tbl, *knit 1-tbl,purl 1-tbl; repeat from * to end.
