Knitting : Irish Moss Stitch and Diagonal Seed Stitch


This is a part of Knit A Block A Week series.
I have knitted a block with two different stitches.

The lower part is the Basic Seed Stitch also known as Irish Moss Stitch.
This stitch gives the fabric a sturdy and textured finish, good enough to be used as borders for sweaters, blankets etc.

The upper part is the Diagonal seed stitch.



Diagonal Seed Stitch 


Multiples of 5 sts
Row 1 ( Right side) : * K4, P1, repeat from * to end.
Row 2 : *P1, K1, P3 repeat from * to end.
Row 3 : * K2, P1, K2, repeat from * to end.
