Diamond Flower Free Lace Knitting Stitch

Diamond Flower Free Lace Knitting Stitch by Knitting Bee.

I love flowers and much as hearts in knitting themes, here is another stitch I came up with featuring a pretty diamond shape with a pattern that looks a bit like a flower.

Abbreviations:

k= knit
p= purl
yo = yarn over
k2tog = knit 2 stitches together
ssk = slip, slip, knit slipped stitches tog. Creates a decrease.

Note: Please refer to “lace stitches” for a deeper explanation of the stitches mentioned above.

Please repeat the pattern between the asterisk’s *
