Knotted diamond stitch tutorial

Here's a fun new sewing lesson!

Knitted stitches are often used for borders and have a large and "lace" look.

Personally, I think it's especially nice when you mark the points and make them symmetrical. However, when marking the piece, it should be taken into account that the lock seam in the original form is open from above and below.

In my case, you can see the pencil mark. And if you're using a waterproof marker, fine, if it's permanent, make sure you mark the dots only for the top points, or add a few horizontal dots at the end to complete the border (see example here).

Instructions for sewing with knotted diamonds:

1). First, if you want to reflect the contours, do not forget to mark the dots on one of the two horizontal lines, placing them at equal distances from each other. Then go to the point at the bottom of the fabric and make a vertical stitch and insert the needle into the top line.

2). Bring candy to the previous point.

3). Pass the candy under the first stitch and place it on the thread. The working thread should be wrapped around the needle so that it is knotted when it is pulled. If you can't tie a knot, pull the string down after attaching it to the needle .

4). Pull the needle.

5). After pulling, you will get a knot.

6). Now slide the continuation under the first stitch, place the thread on the continuation and slide it into the ditch if necessary.

7). Pull the needle to tie a knot.

8). And again by inserting the needle into the next point.

9). Now move the continuation along the bottom horizontal line and slide the needle under the last "bridge". Put the rope back on the handle and pull it under the stick if necessary (this time you will see that the direction of the rope under the set will be different).

on). Slowly pull the rope until it forms a knot in the center of the "bridge".

11). Then insert the candies into the point of the top horizontal line, opposite the last time the needles were lifted.

12). Now tie a knot like steps 3-8, slide the confetti under the previous stitch and place the yarn on it.

13). And then slide the candies under the seam and place them on top of the string.

14). And the anchor of the knot.

In principle, this is a complete routine. Repeat the steps while working outside.

I think that in addition to carefully measuring the distances between points, more "success factors" would be a good line drawing. In my case, it wasn't perfect: D, but it comes with experience!

At this point, you can also try this "vertical" way:

If you want to complete the top and bottom edge, keep the seams straight between the top seams.

That's all! I hope you enjoy :)
