Today we\u2019ve got a quirky<\/span><\/strong>, and unknown to many, stitch for you. <\/span>The Seed stitch<\/span><\/strong>! A stitch whose flat texture makes it <\/span>perfect for those who want to make<\/span><\/strong> a light and loose garment. The pattern that you get, really reminds us of neatly plowed and sown field. In fact, we love it because it makes us feel like we\u2019ve stepped into the farming world of our grandparents\u2019 in our wonderful Tuscany.<\/span><\/p>

To create an interesting contrast, we decided to combine this country styled stitch with <\/span>Hokusai<\/span><\/strong>, our stylish alpaca and viscose yarn. What can we make with this stitch and this yarn together, you ask? Well, we think it\u2019s <\/span>perfect for a maxi blanket<\/span><\/strong> to have handy on the sofa for those long afternoons or cool evenings.<\/span><\/p>
