The diamond cross is an intricate lace knitting pattern typically worked over a multiple of 17 stitches plus two edge stitches, requiring 35 rows to complete the full repeat. It relies on a precise sequence of yarn overs and decreases to form openwork diamonds that cross over one another. Knitters use it extensively for shawls, light blankets, and decorative garment panels.
Heard on the job
You lost the pattern on row 15 of the diamond cross, so you'll have to tink back to the last purl row.
Insider tip
Use stitch markers between each 17-stitch repeat to catch mistakes early in the diamond cross, as a single missed yarn over will throw off the entire diagonal line.
