Defined Diamonds Stitch
About This Stitch Pattern
The Defined Diamonds stitch is a beautiful allover texture pattern. Using a unique cabling technique, long, raised, diagonal stripes form a network of interlocking lattice. What’s left in-between are diamond pockets, giving the fabric a 3D effect, and a bold geometric design. This is a great stitch that can be used in large projects like blankets or scarves, and can even be adapted into a hat.
