Irish Moss Stitch is the British version of the American Seed Stitch. Also called Moss Stitch, British Moss Stitch, Rice Stitch.

The cast on and the number of rows is variable depending on the size of pattern you're knitting, making it an excellent stitch for beginners.

Makes a very pretty non-curling fabric.
