About the Chevron Seed Stitch
The zigzags of the purls on a stockinette canvas create the Chevron pattern.
- Stitch Techniques: A series of easy knits and purls create the raised zigzag pattern.
- Row Repeat: Knit up the Chevron Seed Stitch in a simple 4-row repeat.
- Reversible: This is not a reversible pattern because the right side of the work displays the design, but the wrong (back) side does not.
- Project Ideas: This is a great choice for knitting projects like simple blankets and scarves since it adds a subtle bit of intriguing texture.
