Soft Moss Stitch.  I’m not sure what I love most: the amazing texture of this beautiful stitch or it’s lovely name.

The soft moss stitch is a perfect example of how simple stitches can combine to form something amazing!  In cotton yarn this would make a great dishcloth pattern.  Or maybe a nice, warm sweater fabric on a cold day.  This is a fun stitch swatch to add to your stash.
