Here is the second installment of the 'add a border to your knitting' series. This time it is Seed Stitch, which is probably my favorite.
Like the Garter Stitch Border, this is super easy. All you need to do is work as many rows as you like in seed stitch before beginning the main pattern, reserve some stitches on the sides, and work in seed stitch before binding off for the same number of rows as you did at the bottom.
Seed Stitch is two rows, *K1, P1* or *P1, K1*, and then the opposite on Row 2. You really don't have to keep track of what row you are you, just purl the knits and knit the purls (the opposite of Knit the Knits and Purl the Purls).
My sample was just done with stocking stitch, but you can apply this to any stitch pattern.
Here is the video. Happy Knitting!
