Irish Moss Stitch
by Pat Harste
Known in the U.S. as simply moss stitch, in Ireland this stitch is also called Carrageen Stitch. Carrageen is edible seaweed that was once an important form of nourishment and was believed to have medicinal properties. Today it is made into a delicately flavored soup and a pudding called blanc-mange, and is now regarded as a delicacy. This stitch represents wealth.
