Knitting: Simple Seed Stitch, Box Stitch, Fishtail Stitch

1. Simple Seed Stitch

This is mostly a stockinette stitch with the occasional purl thrown in to make a small bump in the fabric. It's an eight row repeat on 1 (mod 4) stitches.

1. purl 1, (knit 3, purl 1)*
2. purl
3. knit
4. purl
5. knit 2, purl 1 (knit 3 purl 2)* knit 2
6. purl
7. knit
8. purl

2. Box Stitch

This is a flat stitch which is the same back and front. It consists of four rows on 2 (mod 4) stitches.

1. (knit 2, purl 2)*, knit last 2
2. (purl 2, knit 2)* purl last 2
3. (purl 2, knit 2)* purl last 2
4. (knit 2, purl 2)*, knit last 2

3. Fishtail Stitch

Fishtail stitch consists of six rows on 1 (mod 8) stitches. The edge is scalloped and would make a pretty folded back lacy cuff.

There is a repeated stitch in the middle, which I'm going to call "special": [slip 1, knit 2 together, pass slip stitch over knit] as I kept losing my place in the pattern.

1. knit 1, (yarn over, knit 2, special , knit 2, yarn over, knit 1)*
2. purl
3. knit 2, (yarn over, knit 1, special, knit 1, yarn over, knit 3)* The final repeat with end with knit 2 instead of 3.
4. purl
5. knit 3, (yarn over, special, yarn over, knit 5)* The final repeat with end with knit 3 instead of 5.
6. purl
