The lattice seed stitch.
Hi, I'm Kristen,
and welcome back to my channel, Studio Knit.
This lattice seed knit stitch pattern
creates a wide braided basketweave design
atop a seeded background.
It looks like a complicated cable design,
but it is actually achieved with just a simple combination
of knits and purls.
It's a really impressive texture,
and it looks stunning knitted up as a blanket,
pillow, or scarf.
I included it in my color block scarf pattern right here,
and this is a free pattern.
I'll have the link down in the description below for you.
If you'd like to give
the lattice seed knit stitch pattern a try,
please like up this video.
It lets me know that you'd like to see more just like this.
If you're not already,
make sure to subscribe to Studio Knit.
This is an 18-row repeat,
so it is a little bit more on the intricate side.
There are these vertical stripes of stockinette
with some horizontal stripes in garter.
They interweave to create
this visually really interesting design.
You can see that the latticework is atop this background bed
of the seed stitch.
This is not a reversible pattern
because it's onLy the front, the right side of our work
that shows the textured design.
Here on the back, also called the wrong side of the work,
it is little blocks of the seed stitch
that you can see on the back
that it is not identical to the front.
And this design is really self-containing,
so I did not add any extra stitches for a border.
I simply knit the lattice seed knit stitch pattern
as it is.
And you'll see that the bottom and the sides,
it sort of has a border of its own,
and I really like that look a lot.
For the written pattern,
you can find it totally for free over on my website,
Studio Knit.
This is also included in my "Knit Stitch" pattern book.
There's both a printed and an ebook version available
for immediate download.
And since it's an 18-row repeat,
it is in the lower section, the last section right here.
It starts on page 73.
And opening the book up,
you can see there's a full-color photo
along with its knitting chart
if you enjoy reading knitting charts.
I also have a video if you'd like to learn more about that.
And we have instructions both flat and in the round.
And you can see there are a lot of Ks and Ps
in those instructions. (laughs)
And this pattern lies flat quite easily.
However, I still do recommend blocking your piece
if you're able to.
I just have a really simple system
where I wet my piece on both sides,
and I pin it down to my blocking mats.
I just let it sit overnight or maybe sometimes 24 hours,
and it just has a really beautiful drape.
The stitches look perfect.
And I always prefer the look of a blocked piece.
For your materials,
you can knit this in any size yarn that you'd like.
Just make sure to have appropriately sized knitting needles
and some little scissors and a tapestry needle on hand.
We'll be knitting this up shortly,
and it is a right-handed video.
So if you'd like to see the left-handed version
of how we knit the stitch pattern up,
I have the link down in the description below for you.
So let's knit it up.
We begin by casting on in multiples
of 14 plus 2 stitches.
So this little swatch,
I am simply going to do 14 plus 2 stitches.
You would probably want your piece to be longer,
so just make sure to keep casting on in multiples of 14,
and at the very end, add those two stitches.
On row one, we are going to be purling seven.
So it's purling seven.
And we're working in between those asterisks,
those little stars right there.
So after you purl seven stitches,
it is knitting two stitches and purling five.
So you'll see seven, two, five.
That adds up to 14.
So for this pattern,
I'm going to be knitting all 14 stitches.
And then once I have completed that pattern,
at the very end we are going to add those last two stitches,
those last two purl stitches right there
that we see with P2.
On row two, we're beginning with knit two,
so we're just knitting these two stitches once,
and then we are repeating the pattern between the asterisks,
those little stars, all the way down the row.
So again, I only cast on 14 stitches,
so I'm going to be knitting five, purling two,
and knitting seven,
and that will get me all the way to the end of this row.
If you have cast-on more stitches,
then you will continue K5, P2, K7
until you get to the end of your row.
Row three is as simple as it gets.
We're simply knitting all,
so that means it's the knit stitch all the way down the row.
Now, for row four,
it is the same as rows six and eight.
So I'm only going to show this once
on row four, six, and eight.
You're beginning with purling two,
and then it is the repeat pattern.
So it's K1, P1, K1, P1, K1.
So that's five stitches.
And for those of you experienced with the seed stitch,
you know that is what's going on right there.
And then the last two stitches
in this repeat are purling two.
And just continue that pattern
until you get all the way to the end of your row.
For row five,
it is also identical to seven and nine.
So I'm just going to show you here.
It is a lot of Ks and Ps.
We begin with knitting three.
And you continue in the purling
and knitting stitch pattern
between the asterisks and continue knitting
as many multiples of 14 as you've cast on to your needle
until you get to the very end,
and those are just two knit stitches at the very end.
After row five, let's take a moment to just admire our work,
and we can see how the edges and the little latticework
are surrounding our seed stitches.
Row 10 begins with two purl stitches
and then the repeat.
So the repeat is K12, P2.
And that is knitting 12 stitches
and purling two stitches.
So that's our 14-stitch repeat,
and we continue that to the end of the row.
Row 11 is beginning with the repeat K2, P12.
So that's knitting 2, purling 12.
And we do that all the way to the end of the row,
finishing with two knit stitches, K2, knitting two.
Row 12 is purling all.
So you have that yarn in the front,
and you are purling every stitch
on your needle all the way down the row.
For rows 13, 15, and 17, these are identical.
So it's knitting two,
and then we have a P1, K1, P1, K1, P1.
And again, that's those seed stitches, of course.
And we continue this pattern of seven stitches
within that 14-stitch repeat,
all the way down to the end of the row,
finishing with just two knit stitches, K2.
And we're almost at the end here.
Rows 14, 16, and 18 are identical.
We begin with two purl stitches,
and then we begin the stitch repeat
of lots of P1, K1, P1, K1,
and then we take a pause for purling four.
Then it's more seed stitches with K1, P1, K1,
and ending with purling three.
Then simply repeat rows 1 through 18
until your lattice seed stitch pattern
is the length you desire.
I hope you are inspired
to knit up the lattice seed stitch knitting pattern.
Thank you so much for joining me here at Studio Knit.
Please enjoy my other knit stitch patterns.
I have so many great knit and purl patterns for you.
And I will see you here next time.
Bye!
