This Chevron Seed Stitch Pattern is 4-Row Repeat Knit Stitch Pattern that creates a graphic texture. On a Stockinette Stitch background, this texture has raised purl stitches in a modern, horizontal zigzag texture.

This easy pattern is perfect to knit up a chunky scarf or classy pillow with a simple combination of knits and purls.

CLOSER LOOK at the Chevron Seed Stitch Pattern

The zigzags of the purls on a stockinette canvas create the Chevron pattern.

This is not a reversible pattern, meaning that the Right and Wrong sides look different. The Right side (front) has the pattern design and the Wrong side (back) has a smooth inverted texture.
