Knit Purl Repeats 08: Double Moss st and Double Moss st diamond

The Knit Purl Repeats 08 beautifully showcases the harmonious interplay between the Double Moss stitch and the Double Moss stitch diamond.

The Double Moss stitch diamond is a pattern featuring a diamond-shaped motif with the texture of the Double Moss stitch, framed by the Stockinette stitch for a well-defined contrast.
