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.

Design Suggestion: The Slip Stitch Knitting technique is a favorite way to create smooth edges on the right and left sides of your project. If you’re knitting up a flat scarf, dishcloth, or blanket, you may wish to add selvedge stitches to create a more finished look.

Knitting Instructions

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