Because this is really more of a stitch pattern than a pattern for a specific object, I’ve left all the yarn, needle and gauge sizes blank. Depending on the item, you could use anything from laceweight to kitchen cotton to bulky weight.

NOTE: The little lacy thingies in the alternate diamonds aren’t in the pattern, because I couldn’t remember how I did them.

NOTE 8/10/13: This pattern got chosen for a dishcloth KAL, which motivated me to try to reverse-engineer the openwork inside the diamonds and to make a chart. Here is the Flickr link: http://www.flickr.com/photos/rhymeswithfuchsia/9474163684/

NOTE 11/7/15: It seems that the space where all my patterns lived has been removed, and it’s not clear if it will be coming back. The Flickr link should still work. I will work on restoring the patterns.
