The moss stitch diamond panel is a simple way to make an interesting pattern. This pattern is done by stitching multiples of eight stitches and one stitch. This versatile stitch can be used to make scarves, quilts, throws, sweaters and stockings. Since it makes a square panel, it can be used to decorate many areas of the home. To knit a moss diamond panel stitch, you will need knowledge of how to cast on, knit, purl and bind off.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Yarn
  • Needles
  1. Step 1

    Knit the first row as a normal row all the way to the end.
