Step-by-Step Guide to Knitting Three Base Triangles and Diamonds for Unique Patterns

Start with 18 sts to be worked in three groups of 6, using the knitted cast-on so that stitches are loose enough to work with.

Three Base Triangles

Row 1 (WS): K2, turn
Row 2: K2, turn
Row 3: K3, turn
Row 4: K3, turn
Row 5: K4, turn
Row 6: K4, turn
Row 7: K5, turn
Row 8: K5, turn
Row 9: K6, end of left triangle, do not turn.

End of base triangle one of three - start next base triangle on next stitch.

Repeat rows 1 to 9 two more times to complete all three base triangles.

Tier 1 - 2 Diamonds and 2 Side Triangles

Left Side Triangle

Row 1 (RS): K2, turn
Row 2: K2, turn
Row 3: Kfb, k1, SSK, turn
Row 4: K3, turn
Row 5: Kfb, k1, SSK, turn
Row 6: K4, turn
Row 7: Kfb, k2, SSK, turn
Row 8: K5, turn
Row 9: Kfb, k3, SSK, end of left triangle - do not turn.

Now work the two middle diamonds of Tier 1.

Two Middle Right Slanting Diamonds

With right side facing, pick up and knit 6 sts along the selvedge edge of the next triangle or diamond, turn.
Row 1: K6, turn
Row 2: K5, SSK, turn
Row 3: K6, turn
Row 4: K5, SSK, turn
Row 5: K6, turn
Row 6: K5, SSK, turn
Row 7: K6, turn
Row 8: K5, SSK, turn
Row 9: K6, turn
Row 10: K5, SSK, turn
Row 11: K6, turn
Row 12: K5, SSK - end of Diamond One - do not turn.

Repeat rows 1 to 11 one more time to complete both middle diamonds. Once both diamonds are done, begin working the right side triangle in the next section.

Right Side Triangle

With right side facing, pick up and knit 6 sts along the selvedge edge of the next triangle or diamond, turn.
Row 1: K6, turn
Row 2: K4, SSK, turn
Row 3: K5, turn
Row 4: K3, SSK, turn
Row 5: K4, turn
Row 6: K2, SSK, turn
Row 7: K3, turn
Row 8: K1, SSK, turn
Row 9: K2, turn.
Row 10: SSK, and transfer this stitch to the right needle. The remaining stitch will be counted as the first stitch picked up for the first diamond in Tier 2.

Tier 2 - 3 Diamonds

Three Left Slanting Diamonds

For the first diamond only, the remaining stitch from the last tier counts as 1 picked up stitch.

With wrong side facing, sl 1, pick up and purl 5 sts along the selvedge edge of next triangle or diamond.
Row 1: P6, turn
Row 2: P5, p2tog, turn
Row 3: P6, turn
Row 4: P5, p2tog, turn
Row 5: P6, turn
Row 6: P5, p2tog, turn
Row 7: P6, turn
Row 8: P5, p2tog, turn
Row 9: P6, turn
Row 10: P5, p2tog, turn
Row 11: P6, turn
Row 12: P5, p2tog, end of Diamond One, do not turn.

Pick up and purl 6 sts along the selvedge edge of the next triangle or diamond.

Repeat rows 1 to 12 two more times to complete three middle diamonds. Once the three diamonds are done, you will start Tier One again.
Continue working Tiers 1 and 2 until the desired length is reached.

Bind Off Triangles

Note: Before you begin the bind off triangles, the last tier you work is Tier 1.

With wrong side facing, slip 1 st, pick up and purl 5 sts along the selvedge edge of the next triangle or diamond. For the first triangle only, the stitch remaining counts as the first picked up stitch.
Row 1: P6, turn
Row 2: P2tog, p3, p2tog, turn
Row 3: P5, turn
Row 4: P2tog, p2, p2tog, turn
Row 5: P4, turn
Row 6: P2tog, p1, p2tog, turn
Row 7: P3, turn
Row 8: P2tog, p2tog, turn
Row 9: P2, turn
Row 10: P2tog, p2tog, pass 1 stitch over 2nd, do not turn.

The remaining stitch will count as the first stitch of the next triangle.

When all three triangles have been worked, bind off the last stitch and weave in ends.
