LESSON 239: DIAMOND STITCH. CAÑAMAZO. FANTASY STITCH. DIY

Tutorial for diamond stitch:

Here’s the Tutorial for diamond stitch. Another proposal of fantasy stitch in hemp stitch that we propose you at Bordarycantar.com.

What is it used for?

Diamond-shaped stitch unit; spectacular stitch. Suitable for large and medium areas, and geometric backgrounds and patterns. Works best on single stranded canvas, because all 16 stitches pass through the same central hole.

How do you do that?

It starts at the upper left margin:

Diagram of Fig. A: Here is a sketch of Fig. A, for a better understanding.

Fig. A: Cast off the needle at 1 and slip it into 2, four strands underneath, cast it off at 3 and slip it into 2. Cast off 14 more stitches, casting off the needle from 4 to 17 and always casting it into 2. These 16 stitches form a unit stitch. Bring the needle back out on 18, eight strands to the right of 1 to start the next unit stitch to the right.

Diagram of Fig. B: Here is a sketch of Fig. B, to make it clearer:

Fig. B: Work the next row from right to left, fitting the new diamonds between the diamonds above. The stitches of each unit can be worked counterclockwise in their entirety, or in alternating rows.

Diagram of Fig. C: Here is a sketch of Fig. C, to make it clearer:

Fig. C: If the canvas is visible between the diamonds, work rows of backstitch to cover it, as shown in the image.

And here I show you how it looks once finished:

Embroidery materials Diamond stitch:

• You need a sharp pointed needle. In your trusted haberdashery they can advise you on this.
• Canvas fabric
• Thimble, we know that it is not easy to get used to it, but the earlier you adapt, the better, you will avoid many punctures.
• Special thread for sewing. Or you can also use fine crochet yarn if it is to decorate something
• Frame, there are made of wood, plastic and silicone. Lately I spend the silicone ones because I like them better, but that goes to taste.
• Light, the more the better and to be able to be natural
