Checkered Diamond Patterns in Filet Crochet

The crochet designs featured in this image gallery are all based on a checkered diamond pattern which repeats seamlessly.

I've included two different charts of this design. One chart shows a single repeat; the other shows a bit more than three repeats.

I've worked a couple samples of this design using different crochet techniques. First I crocheted this design using thread and the filet crochet technique. I really like the results. Next, I crocheted the design using tapestry crochet; I wasn't happy with the results and didn't bother working more than a few rows. You could also use this design for cross stitch on crochet.
