Moss Stitch (or Seed Stitch) can be worked over either an odd or even number of stithes and you simply repeat the same two stitches to achieve the look.
If working over an odd number of stitches:
Knit 1 stitch, Purl 1 stitch and repeat this across the row for every row
This will create a "broken rib".
If working over even stitches however you must alternate the rows to achieve the same look.
Row 1: Knit 1 Stitch, Purl 1 Stitch across the row
Row 2: Purl 1 Stitch, Knit 1 Stitch across the row
You will repeat these two rows in order to get the same look as if you were working on an off number of stitches.

∙ 13y agoThe moss stitch is created using alternating knits and purls. Cast on an even number of stitches. On the first row, alternate between one knit and one purl. On the next row, alternate again only this time starting on the purl stitch. Every odd row will start on a knit stitch, and every even row will start on a purl stitch. You can even cast off following this pattern!

∙ 9y agoSeed stitch is a common stitch that is a good way to get familiar with knitting and purling that gives a very pretty finish.
To work seed stitch, cast on even number of stitches.
First row: (knit one, purl one) to end.
Second row (purl one, knit one) to end.
Repeat two rows until desired garment size and you have yourself some lovely seed stitch fabric.

Why does my stockinette stitch look like a basic stitch?
Are you knitting? If by basic stitch, you mean garter stitch, it is because you are knitting on both sides of the work. It may also mean your working yarn is in the wrong place when you attempt to pearl a stitch. A stockinette stitch is achieved by knitting on one side of the work and pearling on the other. When knitting, the working yarn should be at the back of the work, away from you. When pearling, the working yarn should be pulled between the needle and the work,( closest to you) and then work the stitch the same as a knit stitch. This should fix your problem, but if not, please ask more questions.
