I hope you are doing well. I had a fun week planning and writing Christmas in July posts. Today is the last day of celebrating Christmas in July. I might just have to watch a Christmas movie tonight to celebrate. Today I knitted the seed stitch squares stitch and put a twist on it for the Christmas theme. I thought these looked a lot like gift boxes, so I added some white yarn to tie them like bows on top of the gifts.I was thinking this stitch would be great for knitting a scarf for Christmas with the bows at the bottom or all the way along the scarf if you wish. It could also make a cute detail at the bottom of the sweater.

Thank you for visiting my blog today! I had fun knitting this stitch and it required a bit more concentration. I think that there are a lot of possibilities for this stitch on what you can make of it in your projects.
Have a good day!
Very pretty. Stay safe.
