When I do the seed stitch I like to use more then 1 yarn so you can see the design it creates. But if you want it a solid color it will still look great! All you need to be able to do is a single crochet and double crochet.
.
Stitches Used: Single and Double Crochet
Front and Back, width = 13.5 inches x 17 inches (before straps)
Straps = 3.25 wide x 8 inches tall Completed Rows: 42 rows = 17 inches high
Worsted Weight Yarn: Caron 1 Pound, Blue and Tan or any soft yarn
Gauge: 3.05 stitches per inches and 2.5 rows per inch
Hook Size: I / 5.5 mm
Chain 41 for front and back
The basic seed stitch pattern calls for an odd number of stitches.
Pattern:
Row 1: do 1 SC in second chain from hook,* 1 DC in next chain, 1 SC in the next chain* Repeat across the row
Row 2: chain 1, turn… skip 1st stitch (normally you don't but for this pattern you have an unused stitch every other stitch), *1SC and 1DC in next stitch, skip 1 stitch* repeat across the row.
When you have 2 stitches left skip 1 and 1sc and 1dc in the last stitch
When you have 2 stitches left skip 1 and 1sc and 1dc in the last stitch
