Crochet Diamond Patterns

I recommend crocheting this chart using the filet crochet technique.

I also tried it in tapestry crochet, but didn't like the results; sometime in the future I might create a modified version that would work better for that technique. I think this pattern would also work well for cross stitch on crochet, although I haven't tried it yet to see how it would turn out.

You'll combine crochet and cross stitch to create this afghan square.

This pattern is a variation of the one linked above. There is no cross stitch; instead the diamond motif is worked in single crochet using the tapestry crochet technique. Then surface crochet outlines are added to make the diamond pop out from its background.

This diamond square was worked using the same chart as the diamond design linked above; the difference is that I used the filet crochet technique to crochet this version of the pattern.

This interesting diamond pattern combines color and texture to form a creative striped design. This crochet pattern is by Sandi Marshall.
