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.

Pro Crafter Tip
Moss stitch naturally lies flat without edge curling, making it ideal if you dislike wavy borders.
