The Pyramid Stitch is also known as the raised stitch. Although it is similar to the eye stitch and the star stitch, it is more closely associated with the double
leviathan stitch. The difference between the pyramid stitch and the double leviathan stitch exists in the size of the finished stitch. The double leviathan stitch is generally worked using shorter diagonal stitches, thus making the overall double leviathan stitch smaller. The pyramid stitch consists of diagonal stitches that cross each other in the center. The stitch becomes more dimensional (3-D) as more diagonal stitches are added. It forms a 3-D square pattern, but you may also work it so that it forms a 3-D diamond pattern. In order to make the diagrams easier to follow, two colors have been used to illustrate these stitches. Three diagrams have been used to demonstrate this stitch. (Two diagrams for the square pyramid stitch plus one diagram for the diamond pyramid stitch.)
