Crochet Video: How to do this Fibonacchi Seed Stitch


Video Crochet Pattern: The Seed Stitch


I have a new video on Youtube called the seed stitch. I have made many items using it. It's one of my favorites especially when changing colors. You can really see the design better. 


I'm using the Fibonacci Sequence to create stripes in this scarf. The section of the sequence I am using is 1, 1, 2, 3, 5 then I go in reverse...5, 3, 2, 1, 1. The entire sequence is below. I am using the lighter yarn for those rows. I'm doing 8 rows in between each of those “sequences” in Dark Brown.


If your not familiar with the Fibonacci Sequence this is how it goes. The first two Fibonacci numbers are 0 and 1, the next number is the sum of the previous two. So 0+1=1 which is why there is a 2nd "1". Then 1+1=2 etc... and so on.  The sequence is 0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21, 34,55,89,144 etc....

Need an ODD number of stitches. Chain 21
Gauge: 2.75 stitches per inch
Scarf: 7.5 inches wide by 62 inches long...or as long, or as short, as you need it.
Hook: K

8 rows – Dark Brown
1 row – Light Yarn (Fibonacci)
8 rows – Dark Brown
1 row – Light Yarn  (Fibonacci)
8 rows – Dark Brown
2 row – Light Yarn   (Fibonacci)
8 rows – Dark Brown
3 row – Light Yarn  (Fibonacci)
8 rows – Dark Brown
5 row – Light Yarn  (Fibonacci)
8 rows – Dark Brown
5 row – Light Yarn  (Fibonacci)
8 rows – Dark Brown
3 row – Light Yarn  (Fibonacci)
8 rows – Dark Brown
2 row – Light Yarn  (Fibonacci)
8 rows – Dark Brown
1 row – Light Yarn  (Fibonacci)
8 rows – Dark Brown
1 row – Light Yarn  (Fibonacci)


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 (which is the base of the ch1), *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

Repeat row 2



Thanks for stopping by!

  1. Hi Heather, I'm a beginner and I'm confused. In row two the last instruction before the * is "skip 1 stitch." I watched the video and you ended the row with 1 SC and 1 DC in the last stitch of the row. Should the row end with a "skipped" stitch or a 1 SC and 1 DC in the last stitch?

    1. Hi,
      You keep repeating the instructions in between the * and end with a SC and Dc in the last stitch.
      If you need anything else let me know.

  3. Hi, it looks like there was a missing section of rows which are 66-73. The colors go in the same order Topaz, green and tan and this falls in the green (leaf) shade. The lin back to that specific scarf is http://crochetpatterns09.blogspot.com/2010/12/impeccible-seed-stitch-scarf.html

    Thanks for letting me know!!
    Sorry for the confusion.
