Free Seed Stitch Knitting Patterns for Baby:

BONUS! Seed Stitch Knitting Tutorial:
The Seed Stitch is a very common stitch you find in knitting. It is great as a second or third stitch you learn as a knitter because it just uses knit and purl stitches. The knit and purl stitches are alternated for a staggered, lightly bumpy texture. It doesn’t roll up like stockinette stitch, so it makes a great edging, especially for a blanket or a scarf!
Seed Stitch Baby Booties: These baby booties are the perfect last minute baby knit project. The seed stitch makes them extra special.
Seed and Eyelet Baby Hat: How sweet will a little baby girl look in this delicate seed stitch hat that is embellished with eyelets?
Checkerboard Seed Stitch Blanket: This Checkerboard Seed Stitch Blanket is going to become baby’s favorite. Trust me.
Girls Seed Stitch Bolero : I have made this sweet bolero twice now. Once for my 2 year old, and again when her best friend kept trying to “borrow” it because she loved it so much. It took no time at all and is still a favorite.
Sweet Seed Stitch Vest : While this isn’t necessarily for baby, the pattern can easily be adjusted to fit a younger child. The construction is just darling and could even be worked up in more masculine colors for a boy.
Cozy Seed Stitch Rug: Baby’s nursery needs a little run to help keep little toes warm. This seed stitch rug really couldn’t be simpler to make.
Double Seed Stitch Dishcloth: One of my favorite gifts to give to a new mom is a stack of hand knit seed stitch dishcloths. The clothes are versatile and feel great on baby’s skin.

Can you knit the baby seed stitch blanket on normal needles and not circular. If so how many stitches would you cast on and what size needles.
Thank you.
