Lets get started!

Notes:

• The patterns for both flat and circular knitting of this pattern are included here.

Seed Stitch Part 1: Knitted flat

Cast on any odd number of stitches to your needle.

*K1, P1* until last stitch.

The *asterisks* that you see mean you should repeat the stitches between them until you hit the last stitch.

 These asterisk symbols are found A LOT in knitting patterns, and are VERY IMPORTANT when following a knitting pattern!

K1 (Knit the last stitch).

Repeat Row 1 until desired length of knitting is reached.

Cast off while following the Knit and Purl stitch pattern of Row 1.

Your finished pattern should look the same on both the front and back of the piece.

Seed Stitch Part 2: Knitted Circular

*K1, P1* until last stitch in round, K1.

The *asterisks* that you see mean you should repeat the stitches between them until you hit the last stitch.

 These asterisk symbols are found A LOT in knitting patterns, and are VERY IMPORTANT when following a knitting pattern!

*P1, K1* until last stitch in round, P1.

If you look closely, the difference between this row and the last one is that they are opposites! The knits are purls and the purls are knits!

This is because we are no longer working flat, and no longer flipping the work around. In circular knitting, we working on only the right side of the work, and never the wrong side.

Cast off the stitches on your needle while following the Knit and Purl stitch pattern of Row 1.

Your finished pattern should look the same on both the front and back of the piece.

Great job! You’ve learned a simple yet beautiful knitting stitch pattern. This knits up really quick and looks great on hats and scarves.

Feel free to change up the pattern, too! Maybe try casting on an even number of stitches doing a *K2, P2* repeat for every row?

Whatever you want to do with your knitting, try it out! You never know if it will turn into a masterpiece.
