In Knitting What Is Seed Stitch?

Seed stitch consists of single knits and purls that alternate horizontally and vertically. Seed stitch gets its name from the texture of the knitted fabric — the little purl bumps look like scattered seeds.

What is the difference between Moss stitch and Seed Stitch?

The difference? Seed stitch involves one row of knit 1, purl 1 followed by one row of purl 1, knit 1, while Moss stitch uses two rows of knit 1, purl 1 before two rows of purl 1, knit 1.

Does Seed Stitch have a right and wrong side?

The Seed Stitch is a reversible pattern, meaning that both sides of your work, the Right and Wrong sides, are identical. Each row of your knitting consists of alternating Knit and Purl Stitches, creating the little bumps that look like seeds.
