Double Moss Stitch (Knitting Pattern)

This Double Moss Stitch Pattern is a simple pattern that adds great texture. A variation on the Seed and Irish Moss stitches, this easy knit stitch pattern is achieved with a 4-Row Repeat Knit Stitch Pattern of knit and purl stitches. This stitch pattern is also called the Double Seed, Double Irish Moss, Two Stitch Check, and Box Stitch. It is an easy level project, perfect for everyone who has completed my Absolute Beginner Knitting Series. Since this is a reversible pattern that easily lays flat, I think it’s a great knit stitch pattern to knit up a pillow, blanket, hat, or scarf.

CLOSER LOOK at the Double Moss Stitch Pattern

Let’s take a close look at our Double Moss Knit Stitch Pattern, seeing exactly how those knits and purls are knitted together to make this pretty, simple pattern. This is is a reversible pattern, meaning that both sides of your work, the Right and Wrong sides, are identical.

KNITTING MATERIALS

Feel free to use any size yarn and needles for your creative project. My sample was created with size 7 US knitting needles and worsted weight yarn, along with a Tapestry Needle and Scissors.
