How do you knit or crochet the houndstooth stitch?

Question

How do you knit or crochet the houndstooth stitch?

Answer 1

I think there are a couple of patterns for houndstooth both in knit and crochet on http://www.knittingdaily.com. This is a free site with downloads in pdf formatting. Must sign in to download.

Crochet patterns are in there, just hard to get to. I am hoping enough people sign up to make them hurry up with the crochetdaily thingy to go with the knittingdaily.

Answer 2

I couldn't really find instructions on how to do this, but most patterns should include instructions on how to do special stitches.

Here are the instructions for crochet:

Here are some patterns:

http://crochetnmore.com/061504.htm (You have to scroll down quite a ways to find the section about houndstooth.  It has a couple of links.)

That one has one knitting and one crochet pattern.
