How to Knit the Andalusian Stitch Pattern

The Andalusian stitch pattern is very pretty and simple to knit. It creates a nice texture and is still simple enough to use instead of a plain Stockinette stitch pattern plus it spices things up a little.

Like garter stitch, seed stitch lies flat, making it a good edging for a sweater border and cuffs.
