- How did I end up with over 600 videos and I didn’t have one on seed stitch yet? Feel free to let me know if I’m missing a video (or any other video suggestion) at staci@verypink.com.
You can see my "Basics" playlist here:

The yarn I used is Valley Yarns Wachusett in color 200743.
The needles I used are Lykke Driftwood. - Навчання та стиль
Staci, you are our trusted teacher of all things knitting so even if this is video number 600+, we thank you. ❤
I am about 2 years in as a UA-cam learned knitter and THANK YOU for easily and simply showing how to read your knitting/how to know what a knit and purl stitch looks like. Haven't seen that before and my seed stitch always messed up. I'm so happy!!!!
I am teaching knitting and I refer all of my newbies to your channel for tutorials, needle reviews, etc. Thank you for all of these fantastic videos.

I love the tip where you explained how to tell if it was a knit or purl. Little scarf xD
The combo of that beautiful green yarn and lovely driftwood needles 😍 So gorgeous!
Love your tutorials. They're to the point and easy to follow. Although I've been knitting for years, it's still to get new inspiration. I recently finished the logcabin blanket using your tutorial. It was great fun!!! Thank you for sharing
Thx Staci !!! I refer to your videos when I am out and about too! I will always be knitting and I refer your website and channel for super beginner or basics in knitting... i was knitting even when waiting in line for early voting! Ha! I was in the process of posting these really cool treehouse homes I saw on an architectural site when I came across your tweet... I commented on your tweet now need to go back and post the tweet on those really cool treehouse homes;) thx again and Happy Knitting! Mary Walsh from TN ;) 🍁🍁🍁
I love this and double seed stitch. Thanks for sharing so more knitters can enjoy!
Thank you soo much for all your videos! They are wonderful! I am a lefty who mirror knits. You're the only person I can honestly follow.
Love the texture of this stitch.
I love your tutorials.....you helped me have the confidence to knit. Thank you.
Thanks for showing us what we need to look for (ie knit and purl stitches), it is quite helpful for us newbies :o). Thanks, Lorraine
Love this stitch.. going to try and make coasters.💕
Your tutorials are great, Traci. Even though I may think I know all about a given topic, you almost always show me something new. In this case, what seed stitch looks like when worked at a *consistent* loose gauge. I kinda like it! But I really have to watch my tension when I knit.
I wish UA-cam had been a thing when I learned to knit!
Love this seed stitch vid! I'm still watching you on half-speed to try & see your hand movements. I knit continental, but wouldn't object to learning your way, "flicking", right (?). I'm very adept at mistakes, so I'm becoming very adept at fixing them. :) TOPIC: I would love to see this video, with your noticing a mistake that you had made some rows down. Show us how to LIFELINE the last correct row, frog down, knit correctly once again. That process. PLEASE. Thank you for answering my comment, similar, from the last couple of weeks. :)))
Love your videos. I make all my own dishrags and always use the seed stitch because, to me, it is mistake proof and I can knit them quickly.
My favorite stitch for edges on sweaters. And who are those 3 people who disliked? What in the world could you not about this? Lol Good grief!
Love your videos!
Love the look of this stitch! So simple but so pretty! Thank you Stacy for the reminder! :-)
My favorite stitch as well!! :)
I love your videos!^^
Love it! I use. K1, P1 ribbing on most of my hats, so I really don’t mind the pattern at all...In fact, I like it!
loved it. just finished a sweater in seed and it's so so pretty but took so long. would love to get as fast as you on it :)
Thank you! I always forget how to do it. 😊
You make pulling look so easy using the flicking method. That's one such I'm trying to get used to doing but so far no luck yet
Thank you 😊🌸
My fave stitch too!!!!
Thanks for the video! And, I just wanted to mention that seed stitch is even easier for Continental Knitters. I taught myself to knit Continental Style, but rarely use it to purl (because it's a little awkward), EXCEPT for seed stitch (and 1x1 or 2x2 ribbing), where you have to switch back and forth.
Yay!!! Thank you!
A great series idea would be correcting a dropped stitch in different types of stitches
I have lots of videos on correcting dropped stitches in different stitch combos! Here is my correcting mistakes videos, where you'll find them: verypink.com/category/techniques/correcting-mistakes/
I love your tutorials. I am a crocheter that has always wanted to be able to knit as well as I crochet. Since I found your tutorials I have been able to do just that. It has been a long slow process involving a LOT of frogging but I have got there. Thank you.
I do have 1 question though about this tutorial. Do you have to have an odd number or even number of stitches cast on or does it not matter? I love the look of this stitch and I have the perfect chunky (I'm In Northern Ireland and so I use UK yarn weights.) yarn for a scarf, hat, gloves set. The stitch will bring out the colours of the yarn as it is variegated. Thank you for your awesome videos. :-)
This is hard for me because I knit continental and the switching is really cumbersome, but I love this stitch!
wow she knits fast! also just seeing the yarn over her index finger going so fast was mind blowing. i wish she would have talked about how it can be even or odd and what count she did on that sample. 😕
It can be an even or odd cast-on number, just be sure you're knitting the purls and purling the knits on each row - that's what makes seed stitch.
Love the video! Could you make one on moss stitch next? Thanks xx
Merci beaucoup jaime beaucoup bien explicquer
I would like to see a video on how to increase and decrease seed stitches without leaving a gap.
Thank you for these very clear instructions. I am on my second seed stitch cowl. Your columns look perfectly straight. My columns seem to curve. Why would that be? I have 73 sts on 12" circular needles. Thank you.
Thank you for the video. I could't find it on your channel, but do you have one on moss stitch, too? they're similar though, right?
I answered my question in my head! How does this not end up as 1x1 ribbing? You switch every row!
I am knitting a sweater with seed stitch now. It is not as closely stitched together as your example but that will do for now. My question is; on occasion I see a larger space between my stitches. Is that due to tension or something else. I have gone back to check for purling when I should be knitting or vise versa but do not see that to be the problem. Suggestions? thanks for all your helpful instructions
Thank you. I messed up on my seed stitch cowl and I want answers.
Can you do a video of eyelet moss stitch please? NOBODY explains it as well as you 😍
I think I want that grey mat you have on the table, where did you get it? Lol. Love the Lykke needles! 😍😍
Lindsay Dallas Z Those mats are sold in the sewing section of Joann Fabrics. They are meant for cutting fabric with a rotary cutter, and are just called a rotary cutting mat. They come in several sizes from table size to quite portable....
How about a video on how to increase at either end of a flat piece. I am not sure how to do same and then have the pattern work out in the next row.
Staci, thank you so much for this tutorial. I have a pattern that uses the Seed Stitch over 44 sts. I'm at a point in the pattern that directs you to INC 6 seed st over the first 4 and the last 4 sts of the row 😳 I'm lost. The pattern designer no longer supports the pattern therefore un reachable :-( would you be able to offer me some help on this? The first stitch is it matters is a Purl. Thank you.
Could you show how to start seed stitch from casting on, cause for some reason my knit and purls alternate thier leading yarn on the same row (knits will lead on back, and purls lead on front or vice versa when i try playing around with knitting the first two rows.) The knits or purls will come out twisted if I follow the video, unless I intentionally knit them according to thier leading leg. (Example: If the knit leads from front, then I purl at front. Next shows a purl leading at the back so I knit at the back... and so on.)
How do you count the stitches and rows
I wonder if you could show how to join two separate pieces worked in seed stitch? Thanks!
I am in mid-row of seed stitch on the back of a sweater, using acrylic yarn. How do I join a new skein of yarn in the same color?
Would this stitch work in place of garder stitch? Like for edge work, I find the garder stitch boring .
In New Zealand we called it moss stitch ... have you heard of this ? whatever it's called I like it :)
Here in the US, moss stitch is a bit different...alternating Ks and Ps like seed stitch, but knitting pairs of identical rows.
This may be a dumb question, but I'm wondering what types of projects are suitable for seed stitch? Scarves and shawls, I'm sure. Socks?
I just saw a baby blanket done in the moss stitch. Is the seed stitch the same?
Sometimes they are the same stitch, with different names. Other times the stitches alternate every two rows, instead of every row.
Could you show a moss stitch please? It confuses me that one is every row you alternate, and the other is row 2 and 3 are the same? Please help!
I was always taught that this was Moss Stitch! Is that maybe a UK term for it?
Bayla H I’ve heard both, I like the moss stitch term more 😁
Moss stitch in the uk is equal to us seed stitch. In the us moss stitch is different where 2 rows of knit and purl will line up and the next ones will be offset
Thanks for the clarification!
My seed stitch always getsbscrewed up i think i loose track of where i knit and purl
Like another person said below, does it matter if you CO even or odd number of sts?
No - just be aware that you're knitting the purls and purling the knits, every row or round.
Do you have a video on broken seed stitch? I havent been able to find one anywhere. Im trying to knit a hat in the round and Id like to use a broken seed stitch with 2 colors. I love the look of it but I have no idea what Im doing! Lol
No, sorry, I don't. But a good idea for a future video!
Thanks, turns out mine wasn’t “wrong” just a loose version… 🤔
Can you use seed stitch instead of garter stitch when called for in a border of a pattern?
Yes - just keep in mind that seed stitch and garter stitch have different row gauges...switching from garter to seed could leave you with a floppy border.
I found a video tutorial for a knit seed stich bow and it said to k1 p1 for every row. Is it wrong for me to knit the first stitch on every row?
The other video channel over-simplified the instructions. In this video, I explain that seed stitch is alternating knit and purl stitches, but your next stitch is based on what you knit the row below, and not necessarily based on starting with a knit stitch each row/round.
@@verypinkknits perfect. That makes sense. I'm quite new so still figuring everything out. Thank you for your quick reply! :)
Try with two colors. Twigg stitching.
How about a video on linen stitch?
ua-cam.com/video/6o0Y4Yu6wuA/v-deo.html
Isn’t this the stitch used on the downton hat?
Can this stitch be worked on either an odd OR an even number of stitches?
Thanks, Jean
Yes, just remember to knit the purls and purl the knits from the previous row.
what size needle are you using??
Answer the phone while knitting? Isn't that why voicemail was invented? ;)
What is the difference between moss stitch and seed stitch?
There isn't always a difference, it depends who you ask. Sometimes moss stitch is changing up the stitches every two rows, instead of every row.
what gauge needle and yarn should I use for this result?
A good rule of thumb is to use the needle size recommended on the yarn label. That is a good starting point.
@@verypinkknits brilliant thank you!
How to make a V neck in seed stitch swaeter
why don't you include different type of heels which i learned that there are 16 methods of making heels! I am so shocked when I find out about this.
On a similar note there is no official demonstration of moss stitch - odd and even numbers of stitches please.....you have some in various places but no proper demo....just saying thank you for your wonderful work.
How do you start it????
You will start by casting on, then going right into the knit/purl combination on the next row.
im doing exactly what you say and it looks nothing like this!
It may have to do with your gauge...if you are using a needle size that is too big for the yarn, you'll end up with a fabric that is very loose and doesn't show off the seed stitch. You can use a smaller needle size to fix that. Usually you'll see a recommended needle size on the yarn label.
