moss stitch

Moss Stitch is a variation on the seed stitch pattern.

'Oh, once in a while, like in this moss stitch, an irregularity won' t be too noticeable.

'Moss stitch is best for ties otherwise they tend to curl up at the edges and look like a drain pipe.'

The stitching style used for creating the chenille look is called a moss stitch, while the outlining sew down is called a chain stitch.

Inspired by Al Hirschfeld's hidden "Ninas," Ms. Moss stitched her husband's name - "Lloyd" - twice in a wave behind three jumping fish.

For example, a whole range of plain and purl patterns, moss stitch and rib formations are possible with the KG89 Garter Carriage - The KH864 features a built-in rail to accommodate this popular attachment.

In some Bergin sweaters, textural interest stems from frequent variations in stitches - rib stitch giving giving way to chain stitch, to moss stitch, to what Ms. Bergin calls the trinity stitch (three stitches knit together) - and from combinations of tight and loose knit.
