The Brother KR-850 is a standard-gauge Ribber bed attachment manufactured by Brother. It is widely considered the most popular and advanced standard-gauge ribber produced by the company. It connects directly below the main needle bed of standard-gauge Brother machines, transforming them into double-bed knitting machines capable of complex ribbed, tubular, and double-bed jacquard fabrics.
