18. Double Diamond

"Double Diamond" is a variation of a previous pattern, 6. Torchon Edge. In this version

• there is only one knit stitch instead of two after the yarn over at the end of each right side row
  
• the yarn overs are purled on the next row
  
• and, as the name suggests, the top of the solid diamonds are framed with two rows of eyelets instead of one
  

The garter stitch edging begins with a stitch count of 9, increases one stitch every right side row to 12, and then steadily decreases to the original number in the course of the 12-row repeat.
