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.

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