How to Knit Seed Stitch – Knitwise Girl

It’s recommended that you choose ribbed cast on for this stitch (such as long tail cast on for rib stitch) to achieve the best result.

(Flat knitting)
Start by casting on a multiple of 2 stitches.
Row 1 (RS): (K1, P1) repeat to the end
Row 2 (WS): Knit the purl stitches and purl the knit stitches (If you don’t understand what this means, please refer to this post).
Repeat Row 2 to desired length.

(Circular knitting)
Start by casting on a multiple of 2 stitches.
Round 1: (K1, P1) repeat that across
Round 2: Knit the purl stitches and purl the knit stitches.
Repeat Round 2 to desired length.
