Knitting question - pattern stitch

I love the rice stich as edge , it is very handy to knit on one piece
no seams clothes ,,, I have a hint to share .....on Since on long
edges make some short 'rows of rice ' , on the frontal edge of vests
and sweaters,,,,, i.e, rice you edge , turn , rice back , turn rice
rest of row , come to other side rice the edge , turn rice the edge
turn rice m turn back to making the whole row ,,,
mirjam

I finished one pair using the basic seed/moss stitch and that came out quite
nicely. I'm now try the double that Noreen suggested, and that looks nice
as well. Different from the first one. And then I'll try the one that DA
suggested. I'm going to add all of these to my stitch notebook, since they
should make some nice edges on sweaters or mittens as well.
Thanks again everyone.

I am working on some slippers for Christmas presents and can across
somthing I'm unfamiliar with. The cuff of the slipper can be worked in
either garter stitch, seed stitch or moss stitch. I've never seen moss
stitch, and I would like to try it. Does anyone know how that is done?
Thanks.

Nanci,

The url above will explain the moss stitch very simply. It is not a
complicated stitch and is very attractive.

Hope this is your answer.

Hugs & God bless,

fWooly maybe you add if your pattern is in the round or both sides of
the work mirjam


Good point - I don't knit anything flat if I can knit it in the round

Historical note, seed stitch was also known as cat's teeth in the early Aran
patterns and is refered to as such in Gladys Thompson's book on Aran
knitting.

Is that in the first edition? I've been looking through that book
and I can't find the reference.
