The Diamond Brocade Knit Stitch Pattern.
Hi, Guys! I'm Kristen and thank you for
joining me here at STUDIO KNIT where today we're knitting up this
Diamond Brocade pattern. it's a really elegant design created by a simple series of
knits and purls it's an 8-row repeat and it creates this fashionable
textured graphic it's an easy level project perfect for all of you who
completed my ABSOLUTE BEGINNER KNITTING SERIES and we are just using knits and
purls this is not a reversible pattern because the front the right side and the
wrong side look different however it's a really nice clean look where you can
still see that diamond pattern on the back and I would not mind it being
visible in something like a scarf and for our materials we are going to be
using yarn you can use any size you'd like appropriately sized knitting
needles of course you want to have scissors and a tapestry needle on hand
if you'd like to know the exact materials I'm using in this video I will
link to those in the description for you and if you like this pattern and what I

description below the pattern is written out there for you totally for free I've
also included a knitting chart so if you'd like to start learning how to read
charts then these simple patterns are a great way to start doing that this
pattern is also included in my knit stitch pattern book available for
purchase over on Etsy it's a downloadable PDF that you can print out
you also can have it saved on any mobile device or desktop as well so let's knit
it up we begin with our beloved Slipknot for this pattern we are going to be
casting on our stitches in multiples of eight plus one so we begin by casting on
eight stitches and then you will continue casting on in
multiples of eight until you have the number of stitches that you would like
on your needle it is totally your choice once you have
that it's the plus one it's just one last little stitch to finish up the
casting on just that one right there okay Row one we begin with knit four so
we're knitting four stitches to begin right here on Row one we get that little
tail out of the way and then once we have four stitches we're going to be
knitting between those asterisks and that means we're repeating the pattern
all the way down so we begin with P 1 that is purl one stitch and then this
repeat is k7 so we're knitting 7 stitches and we continue this pattern of
p1k 7 all the way down the row until we have 5 stitches remaining on our needle
and once we get to that point it is P 1 so we're going to bring our yarn to the
front purl 1 stitch and then finish up row 1 right here with 4 knit stitches so
we'll just do it right here 1 & 2 3 & 4
p3 is how we start out Row 2 here so there's 3 purl stitches 1 2 and 3 and
then we're going to take our yarn to the back to knit and you'll see the
asterisks it's k1 p1 k1 p5 so we're knitting one stitch and then we're
bringing our yarn to the front and it is p1 purling one stitch then we are
knitting one stitch and then we are purling five more stitches and this is
the repeat pattern that you do all the way down the row and here on Row 2 we're
going to be doing this repeat until we have 6 stitches remaining on our needle
and at that point it is k1 that's knitting 1 and then we're going to purl
one stitch and then we're going to knit one stitch and then finishing up Row 2
with p3 that is purling three stitches
row three we begin with knitting two stitches so it's one and two and then
the pattern between the asterisks that's the repeat and it's p1k three so we
bring our yarn to the front for one purl stitch that's P one our yarn to the back
and it's knitting three stitches so this P 1 K 3 we are going to keep repeating
that pattern all the way down the row until we have just three stitches
remaining on our needle and then we finish it up with P 1 purling 1 and
knitting 2 stitches here to finish up Row 3 Row 4 we begin with a purl stitch
so you'll have your yarn in the front to begin and then the entire rest of your
row is the repeat so it's K 1 that's knit 1 bringing our yarn around to the
front and we're going to purl 5 stitches 2 3 4 and 5 and then k 1 we're knitting
one stitch and we are purling one stitch and we repeat this all the way down to
the very end of our row and let's see how it is knitting up you can see we're
halfway there we have the little bottom part of the diamond and Row 5 were
purling 1 and then we are knitting a 7 and those are between the asterisks so
that means that we are repeating p1k 7 all the way down the row until we hit
one last little stitches remaining and that will be a purl stitch purl one now
our diamond pattern is tapering back up so row 6 is actually exactly the same as
row for so you start with the purl one and
then you do the stitch pattern between the asterisks right there row seven is
identical to what we did in Row three so again we just start with two stitches
and then we have the repeat of purl one knit three until you get to the last
three stitches and then it's just purl one and it to our last row row eight of
our eighth row repeat we are doing exactly what we did on Row two so you
just follow the pattern all the way until you finish up row eight and here
is how the eight rows our little diamond pattern turns out it looks really pretty
and you just continue repeating those eight rows until your piece is the
length that you desire and I hope you are inspired to knit up this diamond
brocade knit stitch pattern I think it would look stunning if you used it to
knit up a pillow or blanket and even with just one yarn color it would look
really impressive with this texture as part of your home decor please check out
