So, this pic isn't the best. However, what it does show is that I can do a combination of different patterns and really enjoy it. I had gotten about half way through this and thought I had made a mistake on row 8 . . . went back and reviewed and reviewed the pattern and then read it all the way through to discover that I hadn't. For whatever reason (and it may be that it is designed to be part of an afghan), the first row after the border is knit across. You do the same thing on the last row before the top border.
The only thing that I would have done differently would have been to split the last pattern between the top and the bottom. In order to get a 12" square, there is three full repeats of the center diamond and then you only do 13 rows of the next repeat. I would either split the repeat to have the "top" and/or "bottom" points of the diamond at the top and bottom OR not do the diamond at all but leave the six/seven rows at the top and bottom without any diamond pattern.
The yarn was
Plymouth Encore worsted.
