Seed stitch is a knitting pattern that is created by alternating knit stitches and purl stitches within a row and between rows. It is called seed stitch because the stitches create a texture that resembles scattered seeds. The pattern is reversible, meaning it looks the same on both sides.

To knit seed stitch, you can follow the pattern of K1, P1 for every row. Alternatively, you can use the Seed Stitch Hack Method, which involves knitting the purl stitches and purling the knit stitches. This method allows you to knit seed stitch without keeping track of a pattern, and you can cast on any number of stitches.

If you are knitting seed stitch in the round, you should cast on an odd number of stitches and follow the pattern of K1, P1 for the first round. For all future rounds, you should knit the purl stitches and purl the knit stitches.

It is common for seed stitch to turn into rib stitch, especially for new knitters. This happens when you knit the knits and purl the purls, which is the opposite of what you should do for seed stitch. To remedy this, you should remember to knit the purls and purl the knits.
