Knit Purl Repeats 02: Moss stitch & Double Moss stitch

The Moss stitch and The Double Moss stitch

The Knit Purl Repeats 02 is created by switching between the Moss stitch and the Double Moss stitch.

The Moss stitch and the Double Moss stitch are both popular stitches in knitting, also known as the Seed stitch and the Double Seed stitch, creating a textured surface with small, grain-like bumps.

The similarity between these stitches lies in the alternation of knit and purl stitches (1-1) in each row.

The difference is that the Moss stitch pattern consists of only 2 rows. In the wrong rows, you knit the purl stitches and purl the knit stitches - reverse the stitch type to create texture. The Double Moss stitch pattern has 4 rows that repeat. In the wrong rows, you knit the purl stitches and purl the knit stitches - keep the stitches the same as in the previous row.

Here are the explanations of these terms:

1. Knit the knit stitches

Meaning: Knit the stitches that were knitted in the previous row, keeping them in their original knit form.

2. Knit the purl stitches

Meaning: Knit the stitches that were purled in the previous row, transforming them from purl stitches to knit stitches.

3. Purl the purl stitches

Meaning: Purl the stitches that were purled in the previous row, keeping them in their original purl form.

4. Purl the knit stitches

Meaning: Purl the stitches that were knitted in the previous row,transforming them from knit stitches to purl stitches.
