Diamond Brocade Stitch Video Tutorial

Heidi from Hands Occupied walks you through how to knit the beautiful Diamond Brocade Stitch. This stitch has a clear right side and is worked over 8 rows.

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. 👍🏻

My wardrobe could use another handmade sweater - I’m thinking something simple, seamed and with a decent amount of ease for potentially wearing tucked in with jeans or skirts. 🤔

In knitting, there are a few common knitting styles. Most often you’re going to encounter continental style and English (throwing) style on your knitting journey. I recently had an old video teaching continental style get a lot of views. Based on the comments, it was clear the people wanted to also see a throwing tutorial, so here you go! 🧶
.
Please note that there is a LOT of variation in knitting styles, and one isn’t necessarily better than another. Most often, I’ve found it comes down to two things: how you were taught and whether or not you’re really into colorwork knitting (which can involve a mix of styles). 
.
Longer-term knitters who’ve made it this far: do you prefer one over the other? And why?

I read recently that tiktok and Instagram are being used as search engines more and more. 🤔 I thought since I’m going to all the work of making tutorials on YouTube, I should experiment with making a quick version of them for other platforms. There are obvious teaching limitations to vertical video, short-form content like this, but I think I covered the gist of this cast on in a minute. The YouTube version also covers how to unzip this cast on because there was time for it 👍🏻 L1nk is in my profile. 
.
I’m very much looking for feedback as I continue to make instructional knitting & craft videos. Sometimes good tutorials are hard to find, and (ideally polite) feedback helps me improve.

The post covers what provisional cast ons are & how they differ, and the video covers how to work a one-step provisional cast on using scrap yarn and a crochet hook. (This is a great one to save for future reference.)

I learned several names for this method while researching this video & post. Crochet provisional cast on, one-step cast on, scrap yarn cast on - if you know even more names for this technique, please share!
