SCATTERED DIAMONDS knitting stitch pattern

Add a touch of geometric elegance to your next project with theย Scattered Diamondsย stitch. This sophisticated texture uses a simple rhythmic pattern of knits and purls to create a field of delicate, shimmering diamond motifs. Itโ€™s a wonderfully ‘squishy’ and reversible-style fabric that is perfect for modern baby blankets, cozy scarves, or adding a high-end look to your 52SP sampler blocks.
