This is how you knit a domino diamond. Make several for your starting row. Then pick up sts along sides of two diamonds and work another diamond. Always make sure to slip 1st st on each row, and knit the last one, then you will have a nice edge on the diamond to pick up sts in afterwards.
WS rows: knit if you are working in garter, purl if stockinette.
RS rows: knit all sts and work middle 3 sts together to one by slip1, K2 tog, pass slipped st over.
Pull yarn through last st.
Awesome video! Clear and precise demonstration of Domino Knitting as well as other stitches and techniques. Thank you.

A good companion book to this video is "Domino Knitting" by Virginia Hoxboro. You can get the technical instructions from the book and the actual knitting from this video. It looks like she is knitting with bulky weight yarn and probably 10-1/2" size needles (US). This is a great video, but I think you should know something about knitting before trying to follow along.

Love this video .Sound is not necessary if you pay attention, as they knit slowly enough for you to see each movement. Beginers might not be familar with some of the techniques shown such as (slip one, knit 2 together, pass slip stitch over the knit 2 together). This is the center decrease shown. Always slip your 1st stitch purlwise and knit the last stitch on each row. This makes it easier to pick up stitches lator.

No, it would not be better if she spoke the instructions. That would be very distracting for me. The picture is crystal clear, close up and she goes slowly when she's about to do something that might not be easily picked up. She's a very neat knitter and I can see everything that's going on. What a great teacher.

@miraclegal55 there is no audio, she never speaks in her videos due to not everyone watching the video's able to understand english.
