I is for Inverness Diamonds

So I tried this Inverness Diamonds and I think I needed to repeat the pattern more than just the once. Here is my first attempt with the Acrylic yarn.


I am sure I have said it before, but I don't like this kind. It seemed to stick to it's self and that made the pattern harder for me. However, I do like that you can see the diamonds in the acrylic. I liked working it with the wool better, but as you can see I ended up with a very ragged edge. I am starting to practice the edge stitch so hopefully that will make a neater edge. The pattern also looks more like an X to me in the wool.



I really like the way this pattern looks and plan to use it to make a doll blanket.

Follow your craft,
Michelle

  2. You're right, it does look more like X's. But I guess if you put them one above the other it makes a diamond shape in the middle. Either way, it's a great pattern! Good luck with your blanket :)
