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. -ned "Spike Driver" wrote in message ...

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. -ned http://knitting.about.com/library/blmoss.htm 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, Dennis & Gail |
