Thank you! I have been trying to master this stitch for a long time. I’ve watched many tutorials but yours was the first that made it very clear that I had to move the working yarn back to front & so on with every stitch. I can finally do the seed stitch! Yay! Thank you.
Thank you for your clear instructions. Your columns look perfectly straight. My columns seem to curve. Why would that be? I have 73 sts on 12" circular needles. Thank you.
Are you knitting in the round? If you're knitting a circular project it creates kind of a spiral as you're going around and can cause it to lean. It could also be caused by having different tension between your knits and your purls. You might be able to fix that when blocking your project and kind of straighten it out. Hope that helps
@@TheBlueMouseKnits Thank you for your response. Interesting - I will have to work on balancing my tension on knit & purl sts. Yes, it leans in / curves a little. I thought it was probably because I'm knitting in the round. Yet when I knitted in rib patterns it didn't lean in or curve. Oh, well.
Hi, it's a little tricky. I can't really think of a way to do it invisibly, you'll just have to work normal increases (like a KFB, M1..etc) and add 2 into the same area so that you can maintain your stitch count multiple, usually increasing 1 each row instead of doing both increases in the same row.
this is unfair, and kind of incorrect. this pattern can be done on an even or uneven number of stitches. just know that whatever stitch that you end on is what you need to start with. for example if you end in a knit then you start with a knit/purl repeat. if you end wih a purl then you start the next row with a purl/knit repeat. If you should set your project down and can't remember what your last stitch was ( as often happens), hold the needle with the stitches in your left hand. look at the first (or second stitch as the last can sometimes be hard to tell.) a knit stitch will be clean and look like a loop with a "v" at the bottom. a purl stitch will have a strand of yarn that goes across right under the needle. if the knit was on the second stitch that means the last stitch made on that row was a purl. so the first stitch you make should be a purl.
You make my go-to knitting tutorials! I love how clear they are and the fact that there is no background music. It helps me focus. Thanks!
Awe, that's so nice to hear, thank you!

Hi! How do you increase/decrease in seed stitch?

Great tutorial! How do you knit this same stich pattern in round?
Hi, you can knit it in the round by knitting
Round 1: *K1, P1; repeat from * around, and
Round 2: *P1, K1; repeat from * around.
Hope that helps
