This is a digital download pattern to crochet the Dainty Diamond blanket. The pattern would be easily suited to all abilities who are familiar with the stitches detailed below.
*Please note this is a PDF pattern and not the finished blanket*
The download includes a list of materials needed and full instructions to create your blanket. I used a 4ply gradient yarn but you can use any yarn to make a beautiful blanket and can make it in any size you wish, just remember to use an appropriate hook size for your yarn. Gauge is not necessary for this pattern.
The blanket I made used one yarn cake of 4ply gradient yarn (approx 270g, 1000m) and this made a blanket approximately 28 x 28 inches. The yellow yarn I used is called Cotton Flowers and was purchased from Etsy; the shop is currently unavailable but there are many brands of gradient yarn to choose from if you wish to use a gradient yarn. The purple/blue yarn is from www.crochet-uk.co.uk using their ‘design your own yarn cake’ feature.
This pattern is worked from the centre and uses the following UK crochet terms. (US equivalent in brackets below).
Ch - Chain
Dc - Double Crochet (single crochet)
Tr - Treble Crochet (double crochet)
Ss - Slip stitch
The pattern includes an explanation and photos of each round up until round 9. From round 10 the pattern repeat increases but is easily followed using the pattern notes and diagram.
This pattern was updated on 23rd January 2024 to include an extra diagram and written style.
