August 2020: I have had several queries about possible errors in this pattern. I’m removing the file until I check them out.

Beginner Instruction for the Hazelnut Stitch pattern surrounded by Seed Stitch border. Detailed instructions, including definitions of stitches used, and how to work them. Detailed instructions on expanding the block, and notes on construction.

This would be a great block for a beginning knitter just learning basic increases and decreases (yo, p3tog, seed stitch, knit, purl) and learning to follow instructions from a pattern (written by a knit instructor.)

April/2013--added short paragraph on crocheting an edge.
