<div dir="auto">Hello, Erica,</div>
<div dir="auto">Cast on an odd number of stitches. Then knit one, purl one to the end </div>
<div dir="auto">of the row. Then do it the same way until your blanket is long enough. </div>
<div dir="auto">Seed stitch doesn't roll the way stockinette stitch does because over </div>
<div dir="auto">every knit stitch there is a purl stitch and vice versa. But don't </div>
<div dir="auto">think about that while you're knitting or you might mess up. What you </div>
<div dir="auto">can do to get a good edge is to slip the first stitch in every row but </div>
<div dir="auto">the first one and then purl the last stitch in every row, whether the </div>
<div dir="auto">pattern of knit one, purl one indicates that this last stitch in the </div>
<div dir="auto">row should be knitted or purled. Happy knitting!</div>
