Sunday Stitch School - Lesson 307: Rhodes Diamond Stitch

You already know that I love Rhodes Stitch. Did you also know that I love diamonds? So you can understand how happy I am to show you the Rhodes Diamond Stitch today!

Check out the instructions at Piecework Magazine.com (scroll down to Figure 4, for the Diamond version).

I made two graphs, one (red) is the same as in the instructions above, 



and the other (blue) is the frugal style where you can save some thread as it has little thread on the back.



Here are my photo tutorials for both stitches:
















On the back, you can easily see the difference in the amount of thread needed.


Homework: Sprinkle some diamonds here.

I have that one stitched in one of my slices. It is an attractive stitch.

It's a lovely stitch. The bigger versions take a lot of counting, but they look great when you've done it!
