Knitting question - pattern stitch
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. -ned |

In *my* experience, moss stitch is TWO knits, TWO purls, with the reverse on the second row. Am quite sure someone else will have another "take" on moss stitch, so wait for more replies!

I've never seen moss stitch, and I would like to try it. Does anyone know how that is done? AFAIK, seed stitch and moss stitch look alike to the observer, with the difference being that seed stitch is worked on an even number of stitches, and moss stitch is worked on an odd number. EX: Seed stitch: Make sure you have an even number of stitches. Row 1: *k1, p1. Repeat from * across row. Row 2: *p1, k1. Repeat from * across row. Moss stitch: Make sure you have an odd number of stitches. Every row: *k1, p1. Repeat from * across row. Maybe someone else knows something different, but this is what I have always done.

Knitting question - pattern stitch
Thanks everyone! I want to make the cuffs a bit different on each size
that I'm making so I can easily tell them apart. With all my left over yarn, I can get at least 8 pairs of these done! Thanks again. I knew this would be the best place to get the answer quickly and easily. -ned "Katherine" wrote in message ...

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. DA |

Knitting question - pattern stitch
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 ...
