How to Knit Chevron Seed Stitch [Free Video Tutorial & Written Pattern!]
Just like Diagonal Seed Stitch, Chevron Seed Stitch uses purl bumps (or “seeds”) to create texture on a stockinette background.
The texture created by this stitch pattern is not only fun, but its nice and modern too. Perfect for something like a baby blanket or why not even incorporate it into a beanie or cardigan.
Chevron Seed Stitch is not a reversible pattern, it does have a very definite right and wrong side. This is something you’ll need to take into account when planning a project, especially if you want to use a stitch pattern that looks the same on both sides (if this is the case, then why not give Chevron Rib Stitch a go!)
At just a four row repeat, this stitch pattern is nice and short, making it an easy one to memorise and also to scale up into a larger project as you won’t have a very long pattern repeat to work through.
Why not sandwich it in-between some garter stitch and create a baby blanket?
