We all love a good textured knit. It gives a little interest, and with the right yarn you can add a luxurious feel to a simple scarf or beret. Find a simple coloured yarn to really show off the full affect of utilising knitting and purling in this way through the fabric. You can add a garter stitch border if you like, or go full steam ahead as I do in this demo and moss stitch it up all the way!

Make sure you can tick it off your list... 'yep, I know that one!'
And at the very least make a couple of knitted face cloths with this simple stitch that goes a long way to look impressive. A real bonus that you'll find with moss stitch is that you'll not have any curling (
) or warping as using the knit and purl stitches in moss stitch balances out the weight of each row.
