Today’s free knitting stitch pattern is a combination of two classic patterns, feather and fan stitch and diamond lace.
Published in The Knitted Lace Pattern Book in the 1870’s, the original version of this pattern had a few inconsistencies common with patterns from that era. I’ve balanced the pattern with feather and fan at both sides, matched the decreases on the diamonds, modernised the language and included a chart.
I hope the Diamond and Feather Knitting Pattern remains a favourite for another 150 years!
