Tumbling Moss Block Stitch Texture
The easy pattern results in an interlocking pattern of parallelogram shapes in the Garter, Stockinette, and Moss Seed Knit Stitches. Also called the Cubework or Boxes, this Tumbling Moss Block design is inspired by historical quilt work designs dating back to the mid-1800s using different colors and fabrics.
- Row Repeat: Knit up the Tumbling Moss Block Stitch in a 20-Row Repeat.
- Stitch Techniques: A series of easy knits and purls create the design.
- Knitting Projects: Easily adds a unique texture to knitting projects when designing blankets and scarves.
- Lays Flat: It is a favorite stitch choice because this pattern easily lays flat.
- Reversible: This is a reversible pattern both the right side and wrong sides of the work display the design equally. This makes for a great pattern choice for knitted items that show off both sides of your work, like scarves or blankets.
