Seed stitch and Basketweave stitch

The Knit Purl Repeats 05 is created by combining the Seed stitch (aka Moss stitch) and the Basketweave stitch.

Both stitches are combinations of knit and purl. The Seed stitch creates a textured surface with small bumps, resembling seeds, while the Basketweave stitch forms a pattern that looks like woven baskets.
