Learn how to knit moss stitch, also known as seed stitch, step by step. This textured pattern creates a reversible fabric made with alternating knit and purl stitches.
How to Knit Moss Stitch
Moss stitch, also known as seed stitch, is a simple textured pattern made by alternating knit and purl stitches. The result is a dense, flexible fabric that looks the same on both sides.
Moss Stitch Worked Flat
- Cast on an even number of stitches.
- Row 1: Knit 1 stitch, purl 1 stitch. Repeat across the row.
- Turn your work.
- Row 2: Purl 1 stitch over each knit stitch and knit 1 stitch over each purl stitch.
- Repeat Row 2 until your work reaches the desired length.
Always knit into a purl stitch and purl into a knit stitch. This shifts the pattern on every row and creates the characteristic textured effect.
Moss Stitch Worked in the Round
When working moss stitch in the round, alternate knit and purl stitches on the first round. On the next round, knit the purl stitches and purl the knit stitches. Continue alternating the stitches on every round to maintain the pattern.
