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

Versitile Seed stitch Caron Tank Top / Vest

Video on the Seed Stitch alone go HERE

Download Tank top / Vest pattern HERE

This is a Crocheted Tank Top  / Vest that I made for Knit-A-Square. 've never ventured into socks. You can knit or crochet items.

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. 

.

It consists of 2 rectangles and straps. The instructions are below but you can also download the instructions at the link below this.

For the video on the seed stitch alone go HERE

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 1^st 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

Repeat row 2

I made yet another blanket for myself. I really like warm colors. These yarns really work well together. 

I used Crochet's Seed Stitch to create this blanket. I used Impeccible Loops and Threads yarn, along with some Caron yarn, to make this blanket. 

 I really love making blankets. They're so warm and comfortable.

Repeat row 2

FINISHING - Pic below:
Again, I have an invisible sewing video to help describe the instructions below. click here

Weave all ends on the wrong side of your work. 

I sewed the columns side by side. I do this because I don't like making them in 1 piece because it can get heavy.

To start I take 2 of the "columns" and put them face down. Thread your yarn needle and put it through the topside of your finished column, on the edge, and go through to the other column. Just "skim off the top" when you insert the yarn like your weaving the ends in. You don't want it to be seen on the other side.

Wait several inches before you pull the yarn tight. It's okay to have it loose at first. When I pull the yarn tight I put my palm down hard on  the areas that you've sewn then pull it tight. If you don't it will cinch up.

Also, it's a nice technique in case you use multiple yarns in your blanket. You won't be able to see the yarn you're sewing with. It will be invisible on both sides.
