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. 👍🏻

Since it won’t be clean for long, swipe to see w Since it won’t be clean for long, swipe to see what my home studio looks like these days. Nothing will ever quite be like the old Hands Occupied Studio, but I’m pretty pleased with how I shoehorned everything in this space. Function over form + a layer of yarn cuteness-meets-chaos is how I’d describe my creative space needs. 😆 When I was still renting the studio, those needs included “doesn’t rain suspicious brown water from a crack in the ceiling for a year,” so this is an improvement! 😆
.
For a time lapse of the studio organizing and tszuj-ing process, scroll down a couple posts on my feed. (There’s also a video or two featuring the old studio if you’re curious.) Happy June, friends!

Finally organizing & putting the finishing touches Finally organizing & putting the finishing touches on my home studio. After losing my studio space last fall, it’s feels really great to *occupy* this new space all the way. 😉
.
I started by removing general clutter & returning straggler supplies from various WIPs, videos & design deadlines to their homes. Next, I hung a third peg board in the space - this one is mostly for display and less for organizing tools or projects. For the first time ever, I’m displaying projects from my book, plus a couple other faves. (The best thing about designing more yarn crafts besides knit & crochet is that I have some really fun -and delightfully pettable 😆- samples around.) I finished by adding a square dowel to my small supply storage tower to keep it from tipping over, plus re-arranging and de-cluttering the closet. 
.
This cleaner space already has me feeling so much more creative and less overwhelmed. Now to find a safe spot in the basement for the tower of project samples in Rubbermaid tubs I liberated from my WIPs closet. Also why are there five?! 
.
Here’s to keeping it clean for a few weeks! 🧶
