diamond smock tutorial

Not sure if this is actually called the diamond smock...but it has diamond shape :) hence I'd say it's the diamond smock :p....correct me if I'm wrong. It is quite easy to do. You just need a piece of polka dot material which you can smock to make a bag or anything you want :). Here's how you do it:

1. This is the diagram of how you should smock it. The needle should come out from 1 after you make a knot at the back, then go in to 2 and come out at 3, go in at 4 and come out at 5, go in at 6 and come out at 7 and go in at 8 and pull it strong and tie at the back


2. Do a couple of rows of this, alternating at the lower rows. Here are some pictures for your reference:
