November 2023 s&Z
This month we look at other of Peter Collingwood’s suggested patterns. He noted that it is possible to create a diamond that stands out from the cloth by varying the background by quadrant.
Motif A is a single raised diamond. Motif B is a repeating pattern of a raised diamond. Invitation: Use the repeats in Motif B to make a larger piece for a hat or scarf. |
A note about instructions and charts:
The instructions include a photo of the completed motif, the written shorthand pattern, and a chart with Carol’s notation.
The charts include a possibly higher-resolution version of the chart with Carol’s notation, and a shorthand chart which shows only the S and Z stitches. The shorthand chart is recommended for those who are comfortable with the transitions from S to Z and do not need to know which stitches are on the back threads and which are on the front threads.
