Double Diamond Stitch for a Quilt
This is prettiest in stripes of about five inches in width, in any two colours.
Cast on any number of stitches that can be divided by three, allowing two over, for a stitch at each end of the row.
First row—plain knitting.
Second row—slip one;(a) bring the wool forward, slip one; knit two together.—Repeat from (a).—Plain knit the last stitch.
Third row—slip one; knit one; the next stitch is a double stitch (that is,—a stitch and a loop)—knit the stitch and slip the loop;—continue to knit the stitch and slip the loop, to the end of the row.
Fourth row—commence again, as at second row.
In every other second row, there will be a double stitch after the first one,—this is to be knitted without bringing the wool forward. All the other stitches are to be knitted the same as before.
N.B. The last stitch of every row is to be knitted plain.
