Project Overview & Aesthetic Design

A tactile, checkerboard-like texture created by alternating knit and purl stitches within the same row, producing a modern grid finish that resists edge curling.

Step-by-Step DIY Execution Guide

  • Cast on an even number of stitches (e.g., 26 stitches) using sage-green jumbo chenille.

  • Row 1: Alternate pulling 1 loop back-to-front (knit), then pushing 1 loop front-to-back (purl) across the row.

  • Row 2: Reverse the pattern—purl over the knits and knit over the purls.

  • Repeat this alternating sequence to build a dense, non-curling moss-stitch grid.

  • Bind off loosely once you reach 60 inches of length.
