Knitting: Seed Stitch

Seed stitch (also called moss stitch in some regions) is a classic knitting pattern known for its bumpy, textured surface that looks the same on both sides — making it great for scarves, blankets, and borders.

Seed stitch alternates knit (K) and purl (P) stitches both horizontally and vertically, so that every knit stitch is surrounded by purl stitches and vice versa. This creates a “seeded” texture — hence the name.
