Free Pattern – Storm Clouds
Diagonal puff stitch gives this 14″ pillow a soft, plush texture, which works well with the heathered tones of the Lion Brand Heartland yarn. When completed, the 3 blocks of color form diagonal striping patterns that are distinctly different on the front and on the back. The construction also makes it easy to take the pillow form out for washing when needed. …

Tutorial – Diagonal Puff Stitch
Earlier, I showed you how to do the diagonal box stitch. Now here is a fun variation!

It works up quickly with the Red Heart Boutique…

This wildly popular stitch is great for blankets, but can also be used for scarves, sweaters, or just about anything else! Because it’s worked diagonally across the fabric, it creates nice diagonal stripes when used with self striping yarns.…

Lover’s Knots Shawl – Blueberry Hill
You can't possibly be blue wearing (or making) this pretty lover's knots shawl! It's light and airy when draped over bare shoulders and looks great with a shawl pin, or scrunch it up and use it as a scarf. The lacy, open, design works up quickly and uses very little yarn for such a big piece.
