How to crochet single crochet diamond
There are beautiful geometric shapes which usually look beautiful in any pattern and look prettier in crochet if the right project is chosen.
I have recently crocheted a triangle which I always thought was complicated and had a secret to making a pretty one, until I made it and found it super easy.
I also love the hexagon shape, this though needed more effort than the triangle to recreate in crochet, but once done looks very pretty and attractive, at least to me :)
Apart from the shape, what makes these patterns pretty is the stitch, the single crochet stitch looks so neat and clean in any projects that I love to find different projects to make it.
Today I'm back with a diamond shape, I'll let you decide how pretty it is looking, for me I love it and again it is easy, if you have tried making the triangle, you'll be able to make the diamond.
Materials:
Any cotton mercerized yarn
Crochet hook: 3 MM
Abbreviations:
ch: chain
Sl st: slip stitch
sc: single crochet
st: stitch
Written Pattern
ch2, sc in the 2nd ch from the hook, turn.
Row 1 :Ch1, 2sc in the st.
Row 2 :Ch1,sc in the first st, 2sc in the next st.
Row 3 :Ch1, sc in the 1st st, sc in the next st, 2 sc in the last st.
Row4: Ch1, sc in the 1st st, sc in the next 2 st, 2sc in the last stRow5: ch1, sc in the 1st , sc in every st, 2 sc in the last st.
Repeat row 5 till you obtain the width you want.
For my triangle I did 20 rows.
Decreasing to shape the diamond
from whichever row you reached constructing the triangle,
ch1, decrease( insert the hook in the first st, pull through, insert it in the next st, pull through, pull through all) sc in every st till end of the row.
Repeat the same row till you have only 1 st in your hook, fasten off.
