Welcome to Day 15 of the 21 Days of Beginner Knit Stitches Series:
Broken Diagonal Seed Knit Stitch

:) Materials used:

• Black scissors
• Darning Needle
• Size US 11 needles {Large HiyaHiya Circular Knitting Needle Set}
• Yarn: Pacific Bulky by Cascade Yarns

:) Pattern, Knit Flat:

• CO in multiples of 8
• This is not a reversible stitch, see the photos below
• Row 1 = Right side/Front
• For my swatch I CO 24 STS
• Row 0: *P*
• Row 1: *K3, P1, K4*
• Row 2: *P3, K1, P4*
• Row 3: *K5, P1, K2*
• Row 4: *P1, K1, P6*
• Row 5: *K7, P1*

• Repeat rows 1-6 until desired length.
• If you’re not adding a border, to BO I recommend ending on a row 5 and BO in the row 6 pattern.
• The beginning and ending edges have a tendency to curl, as well as the edges, so I definitely recommend a border on your finished project :)
