cabled diamond within diamond
A pair of 2-stitch ribs shape a vertical diamond (the ribs do not overlap or cross), filled with reverse stockinette enclosing a smaller outline of a diamond filled with stockinette stitch. On even rows, the correct instruction is to knit the stitches as they appear (instead of purling across).
Shown with a cast-on count of 22 stitches.
