Melissa,

I don't have information on most of those stitches, but here is info for the
seed stitch.

Seed Stitch

This pattern is made by knitting one peg, then purling the next. For the
next row, purl the
knit pegs, and knit the purl pegs. This alternating of knit and purl
stitches gives a small
patterned texture to the piece, adding interest to large pieces. Both sides
of the piece will
look the same. When knitting in the round, it works best when you use an
even number
of pegs. If your loom has an odd number of pegs, you will need to do two
identical
stitches in a row. Or, you could skip one peg, and pull the knitting to even
out the stitch
spacing when the piece is complete.

Row 1: Knit peg 1, purl peg 2, repeat to end.
Row 2: Purl peg 1, knit peg 2, (purling knit pegs and knitting purled pegs),
repeat to end.
Repeat rows 1-2.
