Embossed Diamond Stitch Knitting Chart
Here’s a chart to help you visualize the diamond moss stitch. It is worked over a 10 stitch and 10 row repeat. Note that when reading the chart when you’re working flat, you should always start working from right to left on the odd rows and from left to right on the even rows. When you’re working the Diamond Moss Stitch in the round, you should always work from right to left.
