is one of my favorite stitch patterns to use for visual interest and extra squish.
The easiest way to knit seed stitch is to cast on an odd number of stitches. Then do as follows. Row 1: *k1, p1; repeat from * to last stitch, k1. Row 2: Repeat Row 1. Row 3: Repeat Row 1. Row 4: Repeat Row 1.
you’ll cast on an even number of stitches. Then work the following rows: Row 1: *k1, p1; repeat from * to end of row. Row 2: *p1, k1; repeat from * to end of row. Repeat Rows 1 and 2 until your project reaches the size you’d like.
If you cast on an odd number of stitches, your seed stitch in the round will go as follows. Round 1: *k1, p1; repeat from * to last stitch, k1. Round 2: *p1, k1; repeat from * to last stitch, p1. Repeat Rounds 1 and 2 until your project reaches its desired size.
