Knit Tutorial: Seed Stitch

How to Knit Seed Stitch

The seed stitch is one of my all time favorite knit stitches, and I’m convinced it always will be.  Made up of a combination of knit and purl stitches, it’s super simple and perfect for any knitter regardless of experience level.  The texture is soft, squishy, and quite eye-catching.

Check out the Knit Seed Stitch Video Tutorial below, or reference the written instructions at the bottom of this post.
