Every Saturday I will share with you a new stitch.
Today's stitch is: Moss Stitch Diamonds.
Embossed moss stitch diamonds and single knit ribs in a checkered pattern. Always reminds me of trees, great on a throw, pillow etc. You need a stitch number multiple of 14 + 1 + 2 edge stitches. Repeat the pattern between the * as many times as you like.
