Seed Stitch Scarves

Posted on | November 18, 2009 | 6 Comments

Last winter, I made hand-knit scarves for my nieces christmas presents. I’m a total beginner and only know how to knit a basic stitch. I came across these pretty scarves by Jill Bent this morning and was pretty envious. I would love to master the seed stitch. It’s one of my favorites. I think I need to learn “purl” first. I noticed over at Jill’s etsy shop she’ll be showing off her wares this Saturday in Boston at the annual Design Salon Holiday Sale. Maybe I should I go?

p.s. jill also makes lovely grain sack pillows too!

Seed stitch is pretty basic, and purl stitch is pretty simple, too. I’m sure you can handle it!

One of my fav resources for knitting is knittinghelp.com: http://www.knittinghelp.com/videos/purl-stitch
They have videos for nearly everything, and it’s free!!

Additionally, have you heard of Ravelry? It’s a great resource for figuring out what to do with the yarn you already have, or just finding new projects, or even like-minded knitting/crocheting individuals.

Oh yes, do go!

Jill’s creations are so lovely (I bought one of her tote bags last summer) and she has the loveliest blog. I’m sure you won’t regret meeting her and seeing her treasures in person.

I’ve always loved seed stitch and it is just so beautiful when it’s knit up big like this! Purl stitch is no sweat, and seed stitch is great to knit. Really repetitive, but in a good way :)

Marblehead has a wonderful yarn shop – A Yarn Over Marblehead. Jean has gorgeous yarns and also offers classes, although I’m sure you can master seed stitch on your own :-)

I wish I wasn’t so chicken and would just learn to knit already. I can do everything else crafty…but no knitting. These scarves are a good incentive.

love see stitch! and loving the scarves!! Sounds like a great Christmas project! If I can do seed stitch I promise you can! Seed stitch is the border of my favorite baby blanket I make.
