LTKA Square 4

Lattice and seed stitch square is an interesting square, the posibilities of making a sweater like this are great, lots of work. Seed stitch is a very pretty stitch. I had to extend myself almost 18 rows to get my gauge. I learned that I need to relax my cast on. A relaxed long tail cast on can be stretchy if you do not make it tight lol!
Thanks for stopping by and we shall see you next week!

Beautiful square, love the color.
 
I've read that some people hold two needles together to make a long-tail cast-on and then remove one of the needles, thereby achieving a "loose" cast-on. Personally, I'm not fond of the method. I've found a way to use my right forefinger to space the cast-on stiches just far enough apart that when they relax they're not too tight and not too loose--usually.
