1×1 rib stitch is a stitch that’s elastic and great for sweater edges. It’s recommended that you choose ribbed cast on for this stitch (such as long tail cast on for rib stitch) to achieve the best result.
(Flat knitting)
Row 1 (RS): On the right side, with yarn in back, start by knitting one stitch, then bring the yarn to the front and purl one stitch, repeat that across the row.
Row 2 (WS): turn the piece, on the next row, Knit the knits and purl the purls as you see them. (If you don’t understand what this means, please refer to this post for more info)
Repeat Row 1 and Row 2 to desired length.
(Circular knitting)
Round 1: (K1, P1) repeat that across
Repeat Round 1 to desired length.

Watch this video to learn how to knit 1×1 rib stitch, to simplify the process, I am using a basic long tail cast on in the video, which is OK but is not the best option for ribbed stitch.
