Reverse stockinette stitch is, as the name suggests, the opposite side of stockinette stitch. The only difference between them is that you start with a knit row in stockinette stitch, while you start with a purl row in reverse stockinette stitch.
REVERSE STOCKINETTE STITCH
(Flat knitting)
RS rows: Purl
