Reversible Knitting Stitch Pattern

A variation on the Seed and Irish Moss stitches, this Double Moss Knit Stitch Pattern is achieved with a 4-Row Repeat Knit Stitch Pattern created with a simple combination of knits and purls.

This is a reversible pattern, meaning that both sides of your work, the right and wrong sides, are identical. Since this pattern easily lays flat, it’s a great knit stitch pattern to knit up a pillow, blanket, hat, or scarf.
