I really love seed stitch, but depending on the yarn, sometimes it can be a bit much. I wanted a dotted look, but less compressed... Now, I have been playing around with patterns quite a bit, and after doing the striped cup cozy I thought I would apply the same method with dots.
What I came up with were two Swiss dot inspired patterns:
"Swiss Dot" No. 1 is a bit of a closer dot and works well for smaller items, like cozies.
"Swiss Dot" No.2 is a bit more spread out and subtle, and good for scarves or blankets.
Below are both "diagram" patters, as well as written patters, for each.
