Diamonds with cable cross modified

A modified version of this pattern. I've used central double decreases and a one over two cable to make the pattern smoother. This cable is easy to knit without a cable needle.

This reverse side of this (and the original pattern) is quite attractive.

Shown with a cast-on count of 30 stitches.   Getting chart...
