How to knit 2 x 2 rib stitch

This pattern lies flat and looks the same on both sides. You cast-on on a multiple of 4 sts plus 2.

    
STEPS
TOOLS

For my swatch I cast-on 18 sts (4 sets of 4 + 2 sts)
Row 1: k2, *p2, k2; rep from* to end
Row 2: p2, *k2, p2; rep from * to end
Keep repeating rows 1 & 2 until desired length. The above example was 8 rows or 4 repeats.
