Heather Cottage Knits

Moss Stitch

The Moss Stitch is formed by alternative knit and purl across each row. The moss stitch is reversible, meaning that is looks the same on the right and wrong sides, and is soft, textured, and has a uniform stretch.

Moss stitch is great for blankets and scarves and it is reversible and, as used for borders, the edges wont roll.

 

Moss stitch can be worked over any number of stitches but the pattern varies slightly.

When the number of stitches is even work the following two rows:

Row 1: (K1, P1), repeat this to the end of the row.

Row 2: Repeat Row 1

Repeat these two rows as desired.

 

When the number of stitches is odd work the following two rows:

Row 1: (K1, P1), repeat this to the last stitch, K1

Row 2: (P1, K1), repeat this to the last stitch, P1

Repeat these two rows as desired.
