Diamond Blanket Crochet Pattern & Video Tutorials

Slip into the mindful flow of making these textural stitches.

The Diamond Blanket looks great draped over your lounge or on the end of a bed, and even feels amazing underfoot as a floor rug.

The name of this blanket came from the shape of the blanket, but the diamond stone is a symbol of love, and holds energetic properties that help with self-worth and self-love. I hope making this blanket is joyful for you, and that it continues to wrap you in love (or whoever you’re making it for), for many, many years.

how it’s made

You’ll start at the bottom point of the diamond and each row increases outwards until you reach halfway, and then the rows decrease inwards until you reach the top point of the diamond. A border is crocheted inline as part of the blanket, and the centre panel is constructed of linen stitch.

This blanket is diamond shaped, which means even though the sides are the same length, it is wider across the middle than the central height of the blanket.
