Playing around with lace I created this pretty diamond, tree like lace stitch, I quite like how it came out, I included the pattern and chart below!
Abbreviations:
k = knit
p = purl
k2tog = knit 2 stitches together.
ssk = slip, slip, knit. Slip two stitches knitwise one at a time onto the right needle, stick point of left needle in two slipped stitches in front of the right needle and knit.
yo = yarn over
Multiples of 11
Row 1 (RS): k3, k2tog, yo, k1, yo, ssk, k3
Row 2 and all even rows: Purl
Row 3: k2, k2tog, yo, k3, yo, ssk, k2
Row 5: k1, (k2tog, yo) x 2, k1, (yo, ssk) x 2, k1
Row 7: (k2tog, yo) x2, k3, (yo, ssk) x 2
Row 9: k1, (ssk, yo) x 2, k1, (yo, k2tog) x2, k1
Row 11: k2, ssk, yo, k3, yo, k2tog, k2
Row 13: k3, ssk, yo, k1, yo, k2tog, k3
Knitting Chart: please excuse my hand written chart, but it conveys the message for all you visual knitters out there!
It will make an awesome afghan!
Thanks! that sounds great!
does this pattern take the multiples down from 11 to different numbers by the end of the rows?? I am CO multiples of 11 and then losing stitches…..how do I deal with the loss of stitches during the progression of the blanket I am making??
