GAUGE:

8 sts = 4" [10 cm]. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

STITCH EXPLANATION:

Sl 2 kwise-k1-p2sso Slip 2 stitches together knitwise (as though to knit), knit 1, pass 2 slipped stitches over the knit stitch = centered double decrease.

NOTES:

It is recommended that you use a circular needles to hold all the stitches and work back and forth.

Diamond Knit Shawl Reviewed by yesim baughman on 2009-01-29
I used Romance in the green color to do this for a friend. OMG! It is absolutely beautiful in green and in a mohair setting. Just remember folks in mohair, you can not unravel. you literally have to tear the yarn and re-attach new yarn. also, beware, because of the different size of the yarn, you need to make more than 6 center diamonds. go for it.
