SEED BOXES knitting stitch
Texture meets geometry in the Seed Boxes Stitch. This stitch is a wonderful way to play with contrast; the tiny, seeded sections nestled within larger squares create a surface that is both visually interesting and lovely to the touch. Like many of our library favorites, it relies entirely on knit and purl stitches, making it a perfect project for a relaxing afternoon on the sofa. It provides a sturdy, tactile fabric that is ideal for dishcloths, washcloths, or a cozy, textured throw.
