Day 18: How to Knit Diamond Brocade (Easy Level)

Welcome to Day 18! We’re talking diamond brocade stitch pattern today. Brocade is typically a type of fabric that has a raised, almost embroidered looking diamond pattern knitted into the fabric. Its a little bit more difficult than some of the others we’ve done so far, but definitely not advanced, maybe more like an intermediate/easy on the difficulty scale.

Yes, I know we usually stick to beginner and easy level patterns and stitches, but I wanted to include something for everyone! I hope you’ll forgive me and stick around anyway!
