About the Lattice Seed Stitch Pattern

Let’s take a close look at our Lattice Seed Stitch Pattern, seeing exactly how those knits and purls are knitted together to make this simple pattern.

Easy Knitting Techniques

This pattern is achieved with a simple combination of knits and purls.

Row Repeats

This 18-Row Repeat Knit Stitch Pattern looks like a complicated cabled design but is an easy beginner-level design.

Texture Construction

There are vertical stripes of Stockinette and horizontal stripes of Garter stitches that interweave to create this visually interesting design. The latticework is atop a background bed of the Seed Stitch.

Is the Lattice Seed Stitch Reversible?

No, this is not a reversible pattern because the right side of the work displays the design while the wrong (back) side does not.

Knitting Project Ideas

This makes for a great pattern choice for knitted projects like scarves or blankets because it is bordered on all sides.

Knitting Instructions

Cast On in Multiples of 14 + 2 Stitches

Begin by casting your knitting stitches in multiples of fourteen plus two. For example, you may wish to cast on 14, 28, or 42 stitches, then add an additional two stitches onto your needle.

Row 1: (right side) * P7, K2, P5 *, P2

On the right side of your knitted work, begin with seven purl stitches and two knit stitches, and five purl stitches. Continue knitting this pattern between the asterisks of 14 stitches until you reach the end of your row, then purl the last two stitches.

Row 2: (wrong side) K2, * K5, P2, K7 *

On the wrong side of your knitted work, begin with two knit stitches, then begin the repeat pattern all the way down the row.

Knit the stitch repeat between the asterisks until you reach the last two stitches, then knit those last two stitches.
