Diamond Brocade Knit Stitch

Let’s closely examine how we combine knits and purls to create the elegant Diamond Brocade Knit Stitch Pattern.

Create a stylish textured graphic by knitting up this 8-Row Repeat Knit Stitch Pattern. I envision it as a stunning knitted pillow or blanket.

Note that this pattern is not reversible; the Right and Wrong Sides differ. However, the wrong side displays a clean look that I wouldn’t mind being visible.
