First, slip a stitch onto a cable needle, then leave it on hold behind or in front of the work (as indicated on the graph), knit the next stitch, bring back into work the stitch left on hold and work a knit stitch. It’s that easy! Download the pattern to obtain the graph and instructions for making this entertaining stitch.

“I like trying different stitches and textures. Knitting a new stitch like Diamond stitch is ideal for developing agility. As you can see, it’s a stitch that gives results and draws attention wherever you go”.

“My best moment is when I curl up on the sofa and wrap myself up in a blanket to watch films or tv series. And if I have my knitting needles with me, nobody is going to move me!”

Neon Sky Blanket Trips

If you are travelling, the Neon Sky Blanket is your best companion! The knit pattern by @Xamalo85 explains how to knit the cords to hold the blanket roll in place so it can be easily transported. You need to work an i-Cord with two needles to make the cord fastening. Of course, if you want, you can make a crochet cord, use a French knitter or your hands as shown in this video.
