What Is Knit Seed Stitch?

Bicrafty folks might already know that there’s a crochet seed stitch as well as a knit seed stitch. Seed stitch can also go by a variety of different names in either craft. But basically, when you knit seed stitch, you work knits and purls into one another. You’ll knit your purls and purl your knits.

Therefore, if you get stuck at all with where you are in this project, then you simply need to look at the next stitch that’s on your needle. If the next stitch is a knit stitch, then you’ll work a purl stitch into it. And if the next stitch is a purl stitch then you’ll work a knit stitch into it. It’s easy-peasy. And it creates a really great texture that’s perfect for your knit hat.
