Hi, today\u2019s lesson is about openwork stitches<\/b>, in other words, that wide selection of knit stitches that are characterised by gaps that make the outer surface look spongy and light as a feather. We\u2019re going to learn how to do the openwork diamonds stitch to be precise.<\/span><\/p>

<\/span>We\u2019ve chosen our mohair silk <\/span>Fluffy yarn<\/span><\/strong> as its texture adds a lovely cloudy affect to the stitch! Here it is in the Honey colour but there are loads of colours to choose from on the shop.<\/span><\/p>


<\/p>

<\/b><\/span>The stitch is done on a multiple of 8 + 9.<\/span><\/p>

The stockinette stitches on the sides of the design aren\u2019t shown on the pattern or stated in the explanation.<\/span><\/p>

<\/span>row 2:<\/span><\/strong> knit 1, *knit 2, knit 2 together, yarn over 1, knit 4*, always repeat from * to *
<\/span>row 4<\/span><\/b>:<\/span><\/strong> knit 1, *knit 2, yarn over 1, knit 3 together, yarn over 1, knit 3*
<\/span>row 6:<\/span><\/strong> knit 1, *knit 1, yarn over 1, pass 1, knit 1, knit 2 together, yarn over 1, knit 2*
<\/span>r<\/b><\/span>ow 7:<\/span><\/strong> *purl 3, yarn over 1, purl 3 together, yarn over 1, purl 2*, purl 1 to finish off
<\/span>row 8:<\/span><\/strong> knit
<\/span>row 9:<\/span><\/strong> *purl 1, yarn over 1, purl 2 together, purl 3, purl 2 together into back, 1 yarn over*, purl 1 to finish off
<\/span>row 10:<\/span><\/strong> work as the 6<\/span>th<\/span><\/sup> row
<\/span>row 11:<\/span><\/strong> work as the 7<\/span>th<\/span><\/sup> row
<\/span>row 12:<\/span><\/strong> knit
<\/span>row 13:<\/span><\/strong> *purl 1, purl 2 together into back, 1 yarn over, purl 2 together*, purl 1 to finish off
<\/span>row 14:<\/span><\/strong> knit 2 together, *1 yarn over, knit 5*, yarn over 1 to finish off, knit 5, yarn over 1, pass 1
<\/span>row 15:<\/span><\/strong> repeat from the 1<\/span>st<\/span><\/sup> row.<\/span><\/p>


<\/p>

<\/p>

Start with the stitches that come before the first asterisk, repeat from * to * for all the row and finish off with the stitches that come after the 2nd asterisk.<\/span><\/p>

<\/p>

If you like out of the ordinary stitches then you might like the <\/span>Drop Stitch Garter<\/span><\/a><\/strong> too!<\/span><\/p>
