Hello, Reader - Ready for a reversible knit and purl favorite? This raised Seed Stitch Pattern creates a soft, pebbled texture that looks beautiful on both sides. The simple repeat makes it easy to knit without needing to keep track of the front or back of your work.
The Seed Stitch is a longtime favorite because its texture is simple, timeless, and relaxing to knit.
Here's my simple trick: Cast on an odd number of stitches, then repeat Knit 1, Purl 1 across every row, ending with one final knit stitch. Super memorizable.
