Description

From the book: "This stitch is very frequently used for borders sand for a texture effect, as it lies flat, looks the same on both sides, and tends to make a slightly tighter fabric than stockinette stitch. It is sometimes called Rice Stitch or Moss Stitch, although it is different from a true Moss Stitch. Seed Stitch is really a k1, p1 ribbing broken on every row, so that every knit stitch is placed above a purl stitch and every purl stitch is placed bone a knit stitch."
