DIAMOND BABY is just masses of rows and rows of garter st; triangular, seamless and encompassing. Love to cuddle-up the baby or your shoulders in this super soft utterly simple yet elegant and practical wrap-me-up. Fasten with a shawl-pin to hold in place. Two choices of edging; a plain simple no-hole edge, or a lacy (dare I call it that?!) edge with a simple hole to accent the border. Perhaps you would like to try this design in much chunkier yarn to make a sofa throw.

This design can be worked in any yarn that can be divided into two equally parts. Cast on three stitches to begin, then increase, increase and increase… until you reach half way, then decrease, decrease until you have three stitches remaining, cast off. Simple.

To wrap up baby or to swish around your shoulders on one of those blustery days. Enjoy… onwards
