The easiest SEED STITCH KNITTING PATTERN.
Hello I'm Kristen and welcome back to my channel STUDIO KNIT
today I am going to show you the easiest
way to knit up the classic seed stitch knitting pattern one of the most common
frustrations I hear from beginning knitters is that their seed stitch
somehow turns in to the one by one rib stitch which is also another great knit
stitch pattern but not if you want the results of the seed stitch so today I am
going to show you one simple trick to easily knit the seed stitch every time
we're using a 1 row repeat it's easy level perfect for everybody who's
completed my absolute beginner knitting series because we are simply using knits
and purls and you can see that this is a reversible pattern because the front
the right side of our work looks identical on the back the wrong side of
our work so this would be great for things like scarves or blankets and if
you like this pattern and what I do on my channel please like it up subscribe
it really helps me out for the written pattern you can head on over to my
website I have a link in the description below the pattern is written out there
for you totally for free I've also included a knitting chart so if you'd
like to start learning how to read charts then these simple patterns are a
great way to start doing that this pattern is also included in my knit
stitch pattern book available for purchase over on Etsy it's a
downloadable PDF that you can print out you also can have it saved on any mobile
device or desktop as well for our materials we are going to be using
giving needles and yarn and then you want to have scissors and a little
tapestry needle on hand you can have any size yarn or knitting needles you'd like
for the knit stitch patterns and I will link to what I'm using in the
description below so let's and knit it up we begin with our beloved Slipknot
and here is the secret to the perfect seeds stitch rather than casting on an
even number of stitches we are casting on an odd number of stitches so here I
have 5 stitches that's an odd number any odd number of stitches that you'd like
is going to help you easily make this one row repeat of the seed stitch I
think it's helpful to compare the actual knitted piece with our chart and you'll
see how the seed stitch is designed so that we have these alternating little
seeds these little bumps from our purl stitch alternating every single row the
pattern is k1 p1 in between those asterisks that means that we're
repeating it so here is our knit 1 that's 1 knit stitch bringing our yarn
to the front to do that purl stitch that's purl 1 p1 right there and we are
repeating k1 p1 because in between those asterisks it's telling us to repeat so
we have a knit 1 and a purl one and you look at very familiar with this as you
do your seed stitch and you continue this pattern all the way down the row so
now we're nearing the end of our row and we're continuing with k1 knitting 1 and
we're bringing our yarn to the front to do that purl 1 and we are finishing up
the row after the asterisks after that repeat of k1 p1 we have one last little
stitch and we are just knitting one right there that last little stitch is a
knit stitch and here is the beginning of our pattern already it
is starting to shape up now this is a one row repeat so that means we do the
exact same thing on every single row so row two on the wrong side it takes all
of the guesswork out of it we are knitting one and purling one on this
side as well so you just insert your needle with your yarn in the back to do
that one knit stitch bringing it to the front then purling it of course we are
repeating this pattern all the way down the row K 1 and then P 1 and then once
you're at the very end of the row you have that one last little knit stitch to
complete and this is your one row repeat you don't have to think every single row
you're knitting it the same so that you can knit your seed stitch pattern with
confidence every single time I hope you are inspired to give this a very easy
seed stitch pattern a try and I will see you here next time
BYE!
