This morning I finished the 2nd section of stitches on my stitch sampler throw while I watched the F1 race on tv. The second section has a diamond lattice stitch that creates a really cool texture with knit and purl stitches. This section did give me a little bit of a challenge because there was a few times where I’d get to the end of the row and be off by stitches because I messed up a knit or purl stitch earlier in the row. I would have to knit back and fix that stitch and then reknit the rest of the row.
I ended up knitting 37 rows in this section and that gave it a length of 6″. Between section 1 and 2 I knitted 4 rows to act as a border between the 2 sections. Here is the pattern for this section.
Divider Rows between section 1 and 2:
