After my great success at the basket weave stitch, I decided to learn some more stitches that are similar. So I decided to learn the American Moss stitch or commonly known as the Moss Stitch. The moss stitch looks like this:
To create this moss stitch, all I had to do was follow the following steps:
1. Cast on an even number of stitches.
2. Knit one stitch, purl one stitch and repeat until the end of the row.
3. Repeat the sequence in row one for the second row.
4. Purl one stitch, knit one stitch and repeat this sequence until you get to the end of the row.
5. Repeat the sequence in row three to get the fourth row.
6. Repeat steps two through five until the desired length is reached.
7. Cast off using a moss stitch.
Now that I have learned the knit stitch and the purl stitch, all of this learning is coming very fast to me. I was very frustrated during the beginning of this assignment when I was learning these two stitches. I have learned that these stitches were the foundation of all knitting and it was expected for me to be frustrated.
My confidence level has dramatically increased and I actually feel that no matter how confusing the stitch is, I can learn it.
Next week, I will be increasing the intensity and complication of my learnings…
