Seed Stitch
Of all of the stitches you can create, we adore the texture and form of Seed Stitch...so much so, we use it whenever we can!!
It's structure, we feel, gives each garment the perfect chequerboard image..such as our Clara Pattern..
By using a combination of knit and purl stitches, in the easiest of patterns, this stitch is quickly created..
And because it doesn't curl at the edges, this stitch makes the most amazing borders!
Odd or Even...?
Our work is worked on either an odd or even set of stitches and depending on what number we are working on, the pattern may require to be tweaked..
I will include both sets of instructions for both the odd number and even number of stitches, so whichever set you require, we have you covered..
So what are the materials I need?
