How to do the Diamond Eyelet Stitch
The Diamond Eyelet Stitch is technically worked like the Algerian Eyelet Stitch. Only, it works around a diamond outline and carries more spokes (straight stitches) for a filling effect. Again, this can be used wonderfully over even weave cloth to create greatly textured fillings.
I will be working within a diamond-shaped area to illustrate this stitch. This illustration shows working the straight stitches from the outside to the center. You can work the straight stitches from the center too.

| Fig 1: Start by bringing up the needle from a corner of the diamond shape, point A. Take the needle in through the center, that is, point B. Then, bring the needle out from C and again in through B, as shown. | Fig 2: Keep up with this procedure to fill the entire diamond shape. Keep the number of straight stitches even, at least twelve. |
