How to Knit the Russian Diamond Lace from the Longchamp Dupe

[@graceswan4353]

I've been thinking of trying to use this stitch with a silver yarn to make a faux chainmail shirt

[@ChiTownPrincess118]

That sounds like it would be amazing!!! Oh my goodness! I wanna see!

[@sheepandstitch]

That sounds incredible! Please tag me on Ig if you make that a reality 🤩

[@ToddDelaney-z4r]

[@ZaraNMahmood]

That would look incredible!!! You MUST do it! It would look gorgeous!

[@torakfett3351]

Not gonna lie…. I gasped when I read this. That sounds SO COOL!!!! ❤❤❤❤ What a neat idea. I love the fiber arts community we’re all so unique with our own interests and we bring that into the fiber and make our creations so amazingly our own. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Your instructions are always so clear; you make me as a beginner feel courageous enough to push myself and try new things. The Pliage bag is still far too advanced for me, but I tried a little swatch of this stitch just for funsies and I was pretty pleased with the results. Even if I was clumsy with the needles, it was still easy to understand what you were doing step by step and copy you, awkwardness aside. I can’t wait to keep practicing until I am ready to try this bag.

[@emmadaninger6343]

Im so glad you did this more in depth demo. I have been wanting to challenge myself! Not ready to try the bag yet, but maybe something smaller to start.

[@sheepandstitch]

Yes small challenges are great!

[@encendercolores1684]

After Row Three is another row. Row 4 (WS): K1, P1, *Cable Cross, (K1, P1) into YOs; repeat from * to last 2 sts, P1, K1

[@dianeespinoza8647]

I have know patterns to usually have 4 row repeats. Do you have a link to the way this looks with the 4th row. I love it!

[@simplymadebyhand]

That looks like a great stitch for shawls ❤

[@sheepandstitch]

I think so too!

[@macarenajanninck3036]

Or a sweater/gardigan. I love that stitch!

[@cheriestl]

After having made your Market Bag, I can follow this with ease.

[@sheepandstitch]

So happy to hear that! I actually like this lace better than the lace from the market bag. It’s a bit sturdier, but eats up more yarn

[@loririchmond3914]

I absolutely love your tutorials they are so easy to follow! I am wondering if you could post a video on how to do this stitch pattern? Its supposed to be knit 2tog in front, yarn over rhen knit in front and slide off needles...then the next one is knit2tog in back YO then knit in the back.. You're supposed to end up with three extra stitches for those two stitches. My problem is I had seen this on a tutorial but she knits continental and I admit English and it's kind of hard to follow lol

[@deeptikaling1341]

Can u please make a tutorial for sweater

[@trisha6594]

Thank you so much! I really wanted to challenge myself, so this seems like a great opportunity. Just wondering if you could make a slower version, just so it's a little bit easier to keep up? Also, while doing this, Some of my stitches were really tricky to knit the other way. How should I loosen the stitch, so there's more room to put my stick through, and knit it more easily? Thanks again!

[@christineqin955]

glad you did it for us! my friend knows russian but... he won't be very happy.

[@PIXIBOND]

Your videos are so fantastic to follow along! Do you or would you consider making a tutorial for making the badge neckerchief? Pleeeease…? Halp 😩 With straight needles too.

[@ToddDelaney-z4r]

Could you please do a video of how to knit socks

[@ZaraNMahmood]

First of all... THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I've been wanting to try this for a while! I'm just a little bit confused about the original video. Do we have to follow that one first or we go straight onto this video?

[@MasterNorind]

Can you show us how to knit socks? For beginners?

[@claudias.5734]

Wow. You explain clearly! 😮 thanks.

[@jheighten7568]

Hello! This is very beautiful! I don’t know how to knit, is this possible to make with crotchet stitch?

[@sheepandstitch]

I don’t know how to crochet but I’m sure you can find comparable crochet stitches!

[@graceswan4353]

you can try crochet diagonal mesh

[@jassconrad]

As a long time knitter, I love how it looks so complicated when it's so easy. I find knitting lace easy but granny squares in a circle/square is way too complicated. Go figure 😅

[@abigailmwenda2717]

Hi After the 3rd row do you go back to row 1

[@elisabritton802]

Hello! Hope all is well! When will you be posting your next project? Miss you!

[@encendercolores1684]

I need some help. After row 3, I ended up on the wrong side of the work, so I repeat from row 2 or purl all the way through?

[@kmpage333]

A three (3) row repeat? So, that means you do right side (Row 1), then wrong side (Row 2), then right side (Row 3), then back to wrong side (Row 1), etc. RS - row 1 WS - row 2 RS - row 3 WS - row 1 RS - row 2 WS - row 3 (back to top) That means that it should be completely reversible. Great stitch!

[@sheepandstitch]

This is a four row repeat. Please click on the link in the description for the full pattern!

[@encendercolores1684]

​@@sheepandstitch But you left that out in the video. 😅

[@encendercolores1684]

Row 4 (WS): K1, P1, *Cable Cross, (K1, P1) into YOs; repeat from * to last 2 sts, P1, K1

[@ethanmarrow3191]

I cast on with 34, rows 1 and 2 maintain, but row 3 seems to always drop down to 33 stitches. Is there a decrease? Row 4 doesn't seem to increase, so Im not sure if Im missing something.

[@vl9371]

This is a nice video, thank you for sharing it! And maybe it's just me but there's no difference in how you twisted the stitch between the first time and your version. In both cases you slipped to the right purl wise and then slipped it back to the left by going in through the back to the front. I've replayed so many times and visually I don't see any difference. What am I missing? You said your method doesn't involve slipping it to the right at all.

[@tipsycakes_]

Thank you for doing this demo ❤ Just wanted to ask, can the twist stitch also be done by doing a "slip 1 knitwise, slip stitch back to left needle"? I feel like it achieves the same thing without doing the "from back to front" thing with the needles because that often tends to easily confuse me lol. I haven't tried it out yet though and my brain might just be messing with me 😆

[@sheepandstitch]

Yes I think so? Haha I’m just imagining it in my head and I think that works. Basically you just need to twist the stitch before knitting 2 through the back loops. However you twist it is up to you!

[@kmpage333]

yes.

[@tipsycakes_]

Great! Thank you so much 😊

[@ASL_Crochet_Knit_Lover]

Beautiful 🤩

[@RicardoJafar]

Please please make more knitting hacks🙏🙏🙏

[@ToddDelaney-z4r]

Yeah for sure

[@RicardoJafar]

@@ToddDelaney-z4r and what's that soposto mean?

[@amorestperpe]

I think it would take me about a day to get to row 2

[@bhawnavig1650]

Your knitting are very good but sorry to say it's quite difficult for me to do it while looking at the video.

[@Its_Casey_]

I was practicing knitting by knitting a square and I casted on 16 stitches. I was on my 5th row and once I finished the row I had 17 stitches. I have no idea what I did. Does anyone know the answer?

[@robinaodeesh2571]

how many stitches do i need to cast on? i want to make a blanket with this pattern.

[@sheepandstitch]

To keep two selvedge stitches on either side, cast on a multiple or 4+2. If you don’t want the selvedge stitches then get rid of the K1s at the beginning and end of every row and cast on a multiple of 4

[@ozzygirl098]

When you first started, how many mistakes did you make? Was it frustrating at first?

[@sheepandstitch]

I made a ton of mistakes because I was trying to interpret from a video in Russian. Once I got the pattern down then it wasn’t as hard, but I also have a bit of experience knitting lace, so I’m comfortable with some of its quirks 😅

[@amolegere1]

Would this be possible to do in the round?

[@sheepandstitch]

Yes I think so! But I don’t have a pattern for it in the round. If you figure it out, please share with us!

[@deeptikaling1341]

N love ur videos❤ from 🇮🇳

[@holeanta]

I was really curious if it will be knitted Western or Eastern way.😂
