Sometimes stitch patterns created with simple knits and purls carefully placed are exactly what your knitting needs to shine. The beautiful Diamond Brocade Stitch is one such pattern, featuring a clear right and wrong side. As usual with my knitting stitch videos, I think this timeless stitch would be right at home on a vintage inspired sweater or a lovely set of knit accessories. In this post, I’ll walk you through how to knit this stitch in an easy-to-follow video tutorial with written stitch instructions. 😊
Diamond Brocade Stitch – Video Tutorial
Below is the video itself – you can also check this out on YouTube and subscribe for even more tutorials every 1-2 weeks. This is my first video of the new year, and I’m so glad I took that break I keep talking about here on the blog. I used my break to get a little bit ahead on videos, so I’m excited to finally hit a momentum point with video.
As always, if you’ve got any questions or suggestions for future videos, holler in the comments!

I’m a beginner knitter (VERY beginner) but this pattern looks pretty simple, actually! I tend to stick with crochet because it’s so much easier, but this pattern is a good motivator because it looks fancy without a lot of fuss!
My biggest problem with knitting is dropping stitches and then not knowing how to fix them. And, I also don’t know how to properly frog my knitting so I can fix a mistake in a pattern. Will you eventually make a video about either of these?
Sure thing! I might need a few weeks, but I’m here for this. I guarantee you’re not the only one who would be interested in a fixing dropped sts tutorial. 👍🏻
