Tunisian Seed Stitch

The Tunisian Seed Stitch is a combination stitch that creates a lot of texture without adding weight to the design. It requires a 2 row repeat on an even number of stitches with alternating TKS & TRS. It has very little curl.

A Video tutorial is available from CrochetKim

Begin with a Foundation Row: 

Chain any even quantity, beginning in the 2nd chain from the hook, pull up a loop in each chain. Basic return pass.
