This Simple Seed Stitch Knitting Pattern is a vintage pattern with a Stockinette background punctuated with alternating rows of raised purl seed stitches.
This 8-Row Repeat Knit Stitch Pattern is easy-level project created with a simple combination of knits and purls. It’s a great choice for knitting up blankets and pillows with a little pop of texture.
This Simple Seed Stitch is not a reversible pattern, so the right side of the work displays the design, but the wrong (back) side does not.
