Directions as follows. How to Knit a Mitered Square video. This video uses an even number of stitches, while I use an uneven number and do a triple decrease over the center 3 stitches. A triple decrease is as follows: slip 1, K2tog, psso. Easy peasy. My medium size design calls for a diamond built on 29 stitches and the side triangles are 14 stitches. Always slip the first stitch (knitwise) in each row and end each row with a yarn forward purl. After making diamond #1, do not cut yarn, but pick up 14 stitches along the edge of the diamond, k back and on the front, knit to within 3 stitches of the end of the row, k2tog, yarn forward purl. Advice: make a set of these in one color yarn to learn the technique.
