Simple Seed Stitch Sweater – 1990s Knitting Pattern: Instant PDF Download
Size: XS, S, M, L, XL (38½”–55½” finished bust)
There’s a lot to love about a good seed stitch sweater — the nubbly, reversible texture, the relaxed drape, and the fact that it looks far more complicated than it actually is. This 1990s V-neck sweater pattern is worked entirely in Double Seed Stitch, a simple four-row repeat of knits and purls that builds an even, pebbled fabric with excellent stitch definition. Knit in a soft llama-and-wool blend on straight needles with a circular needle for the neckband, it’s an approachable Intermediate knitting pattern well suited to anyone who wants a substantial, textured pullover and enjoys watching a simple stitch pattern do all the visual work.
