Skill Level
An advanced beginner stitch as you need to remember to move the yarn back and forward between the knit and purls so not to cause 'holes' in the piece.

The Look
Seed stitch gets its name from the little scattered bumps which look like seeds. This pattern is a nice sturdy pattern which is great for knitting a scarf and finishing row ends to prevent curling.
