Need help making a seemless pattern brush

Question

I am at my wits end on this.. I have created a brush 21 x 21 pixels to create a baseball stitch.. My pattern contains two ends and two middle sections totalling 84 pixels long and 21 pixels high as shown in the attached.

My goal is to make a seemless pattern but I always get a small and annoying white space as shown in the second picture.

I am using Illustrator 25.2.1 (64 bit) on a Windows 64 platform.

Any advice to resolve this challenge would be appreciated.

In your second image it looks as though the brush is constructed from a jpg image which has extra pixels beyond the end of the seam which need to be cropped off before making the brush.

As an alternative, you might want to consider building a stitch from scratch and turning that into a pattern brush.
