Woven Diamond Lace Stitch Free Pattern. The Woven Diamond Lace Stitch, a distinctive pattern that brings a compelling blend of texture and visual interest to your knitting projects. This stitch features an interplay of knits, purls, and strategic decreases that create a fabric with defined diagonal lines and a subtle, almost basket-weave effect.
Ideal for pieces where you want a noticeable texture without overwhelming complexity, the Woven Diamond Lace Stitch lends itself well to a variety of applications. Consider it for throws, cushion covers, or as a feature panel in garments like cardigans and vests. Its structured yet flexible nature provides good drape and a pleasing hand feel.
While the chart indicates some more intricate maneuvers, the repeat is systematic, offering an engaging knitting experience for those comfortable with basic lace techniques and prepared for a focused approach to cable-like decreases. The resulting fabric is robust and visually dynamic, making it a great choice for projects that benefit from a strong, textured presence.
If you’re looking for a pattern that delivers unique texture and a sophisticated finished look, the Woven Diamond Lace Stitch is an excellent option to explore.
Legend:
- R = motivo da ripetere = Repeat pattern
- ☐ = 1 m. dir. = 1 knit stitch
- — = 1 m. rov. = 1 purl stitch
- U = 1 gettato = 1 yarn over (YO)
- ∩ = passare 1 m. sul ferro destro senza lavorarla come se si dovesse lavorare al rov., con il filo dietro al lavoro e lasciando cadere il filo avvolto = Slip 1 stitch purlwise to the right needle with yarn in back, letting the wrapped strand drop. (This likely refers to working with a wrapped stitch from a previous row, where the wrap is dropped.)
- S = passare 1 m. sul ferro destro senza lavorarla come se si dovesse lavorare al rov. e con il filo davanti al lavoro = Slip 1 stitch purlwise to the right needle with yarn in front.
- 2 = 1 m. rov. avvolgendo 2 volte il filo attorno al ferro = Purl 1 stitch, wrapping the yarn twice around the needle. (This creates an elongated stitch or a basis for a dropped wrap later.)
- ✓ = (si lavora su 3 m.) passare 1 m. sul ferro destro senza lavorarla come se si dovesse lavorare al rov., con il filo dietro al lavoro, passare sul ferro destro le 2 m. successive prendendole insieme e senza lavorarle, estrarre le 2 m. dal ferro e con il ferro sinistro prendere la 2ª m. da dietro, poi prendere la 1ª m., passare di nuovo la 1ª m. dalle m. passate dal ferro destro al ferro sinistro e lavorare 2 m. insieme a dir, 1 m. dir. = (Worked over 3 stitches) Slip 1 stitch purlwise to the right needle with yarn in back, slip the next 2 stitches together from the left needle to the right needle without working them, take these 2 stitches off the needle, and with the left needle pick up the second stitch from behind, then pick up the first stitch, slip the first slipped stitch from the right needle back to the left needle, and knit 2 together, knit 1. (This is a complex cable-like decrease/twist, often referred to as a “left cross over 3 stitches” or similar, where a stitch is swapped with two others).
- Z = (si lavora su 3 m.) passare 2 m. senza lavorarle come se si dovesse lavorare al rov. con il filo dietro al lavoro, estrarre le 2 m. dal ferro, prendere la 2ª m. con il ferro sinistro da davanti e poi prendere la 1ª m., lavorare 1 m. dir. e 1 accavallata semplice. = (Worked over 3 stitches) Slip 2 stitches purlwise with yarn in back, take these 2 stitches off the needle, and with the left needle pick up the second stitch from the front, then pick up the first stitch, knit 1, and ssk (slip, slip, knit). (This is another complex cable-like decrease/twist, often referred to as a “right cross over 3 stitches” or similar).
- X = nei 2 gettati lavorare nel 1° gettato 1 m. a rov. e nel 2° gettato 1 m. a rov. ritorto. = In the 2 yarn overs (from a previous row), work 1 purl stitch into the first yarn over and 1 twisted purl stitch (purl through back loop) into the second yarn over.
