For this tutorial you will need your selected yarn I'm using a six millimeter
crochet hook you will need some scissors and a darning needle to start this
tutorial create your slipknot and insert your hook I'm using a six millimeter but
you can use whatever size you like usually for this yarn they recommend
five and a half millimeter you want to begin by chaining three so yarn over
pull through yarn over pull through yarn over pull through
so that's your chain three you then want to chain one more and then yarn over
insert your hook into the first chain space yarn over pull through yarn over
pull through two and yarn over pull through your last two that is a treble
crochet in the UK and it's classed as a double in the US so you then want to
chain three one two three turn your work and then we're going to work away back
across here this section here so this V is the point of your diamond we are
going to be working into the chain spaces rather than the actual gap so you
want to yarn over insert your hook into the top of the stitch underneath yarn
over pull through yarn over pull through two yarn over pull through two so that
is a cluster of two trebles werel then going to do another cluster of two
trebles in the top of this and stitch down here so you want to insert your
hook into the top of this treble here so yarn over insert your hook
into the top of that treble
yarn over pull through yarn over pull through two yarn over pull through two
and once more yarn over insert yarn over pull through yarn over pull through two
yarn over pull through two so this first row that we did has got
two stitches in and then the second row has got four stitches in we then chain
three one two three turn your work and we are then going to do another cluster
of two trebles in this first stitch so yarn over and
then you're going to insert your hook into the top of the that stitch yarn
over pull through yarn over pull through two yarn over pull through two so this
is a cluster of two we're then going to work one stitch into each of the next
two stitches so it's yarn over insert yarn over pull through yarn over pull
through two yarn over pull through two and again yarn over insert yarn over
pull through yarn over pull through two yarn over pull through two and then this
is the last stitch here and we're going to work two trebles into that last
stitch so it's yarn over insert into the top space of the last stitch from the
previous row yarn over pull through yarn over pull through two yarn over pull
through two and then once more yarn over insert into the same space yarn over
pull through yarn over pull through two and yarn over pull through two
we now have a cluster of two trebles on the outer edge and then two single
trebles in the middle and that's the way we're going to work up this diamond
so on the outer edges you'll have a cluster of two and then in the center
you'll just have single stitches so on the third row we now have one two three
four five six stitches so it goes to four six
so our next row should actually work out that we have eight stitches in total so
you're going to chain three turn your work and then do another treble in this
first space here so yarn over and insert yarn over pull through yarn over
pull through two yarn over pull through two and then we're going to do our next
four stitches in these spaces here so 1 2 3 4 so yarn over insert yarn over
pull through yarn over pull through two yarn over pull through 2 so that's 1
then we do our next one
and our third one
and the fourth one
we then do our last two stitches into the top or the third chain from the
bottom just here so we're going to do two stitches in this last chain space
so that's one treble yarn over insert into the same chain space yarn
over pull through yarn over pull through two yarn over pull through two so that's
now eight stitches in that row our next row will have ten stitches so chain
three turn your work do another treble in this first chain space and then we're
going to work along the next six stitches
inserting one treble into each stitch so if you want to go ahead and
do that and pause and then we'll meet back when we do the last two of this row
so we'll do our last two trebles in this last chain space
so we've now done five rows you want to chain three turn your work and for the
sixth row we're going to be working 12 stitches so again start with your treble
so that's classed as two we're then going to be doing eight single stitches all the
way along and then two in the end so if you want to pause the video here and
then press play once you've done this row so for the next round you want to
chain three which I've already done and turn and this row is going to consist of
14 stitches so we've got one here and we will do our next one in the first stitch
that's two stitches we'd have 10 single stitches all the way across and then two
stitches in the end so now for the next round you want to chain three turn do
your cluster of two in the first stitch and this row is going to be a total of
sixteen stitches so two here twelve single stitches and your cluster of two
on the end for your next row turn as you've been doing before start with your
cluster of two
do 14 stitches single stitches all the way along and another cluster of two at
the end so that is 18 stitches all together this next row will consist of a
cluster of two at the beginning 16 single stitches all the way across and
then two at the end so that's 20 stitches all together now at this point
you've created half of your diamond and you can tie off your yarn here if you're
using this half diamond or your triangle shape as part of the top or the base of
the blanket so that you have the straight edge if you are not using it
for this you would carry on and we're going to start decreasing the shape of
the diamond so now we're going to begin to decrease the next rows to create
diamond shape so what you want to do now is chain two turn your work now instead
of working into this same chain space we're going to be working into the next
one so it's yarn over insert your hook into not the first but the second chain
space yarn over pull through yarn over pull through two yarn over pull through
two you're then going to work 16 stitches single stitches into the
next 16 spaces and then meet me back when we get to the end you should
end up with this chain space left and obviously the top of the last chain
space so work your way along until you've worked 16 treble crochets
into the next 16 spaces so now you should be left with one space here and
your chain 3 from the last row so what you want to do here we're
we're going to treble crochet these two together insert your hook
into the next space yarn over pull through
yarn over pull through two and you're left with two loops on the hook now
we're just going to go straight into the next treble so yarn over insert your
hook into the top space of the chain three below yarn over pull through
yarn over pull through two and then yarn over pull through all three and that
connects those last two together you want to chain two turn your work and then
we're going to skip this first space and work into the next space so yarn over
insert yarn over pull through yarn over pull through two yarn over pull through
two and now we've connected those two chains together you're now going to work
14 stitches all the way along and meet me back and we'll decrease this row at
the end once you're at the end of this row it will look like you have a long
way to go till the end but you actually haven't and you want to yarn over insert
your hook into the next space yarn over pull through yarn over pull through two
I'm going to leave these two on the hook yarn over insert your hook into the top
of that last stitch here so insert yarn over pull through yarn over pull through
two and then yarn over pull through all the loops on your hook and again we have
trouble crocheted them together chain two turn your work
yarn over miss the first space and work into the next space
yarn over pull through yarn over pull through two yarn over pull through two
and you're now going to work 12 stitches all the way along and we are going to
treble crochet the last two stitches together and meet me back so we're going
to repeat the same procedure as in the previous rounds so yarn over insert yarn
over pull through yarn over pull through two leave these two stitches on the hook
yarn over insert into the last stitch yarn over pull through yarn over pull
through two and then yarn over pull through all three chain two turn your
work yarn over and miss one stitch into the next one do your treble crochet and
now we're going to work ten stitches all the way along I shall meet you back at
the end so at the end yarn over insert yarn over pull through
yarn over and pull through two leave those two loops on the hook and yarn
over insert into the last stitch yarn over pull through yarn over pull through
two and yarn over pull through all three chain two repeat the same thing
so yarn over miss one stitch working to the next one yarn over pull through yarn
over pull through two yarn over pull through two you're then going to do
eight stitches all the way along and a treble crochet your last two stitches as
before so now at the end of this row we again chain two turn our work treble
crochet into the second space along six treble crochets into the next six spaces
and then treble crochet the last two together so I've now chained to again
I'm turning my work repeating the same thing from the last few rounds and then
this time you have four trebles and then you treble crochet your last
two together chain two again turn your work put your next treble into the
second space and then this time you're just going to do two stitches you then
want to chain two turn your work and what we want to do now is yarn over insert
into the next space yarn over pull through yarn over pull through two yarn
over pull through two and we're just going to go straight into treble crochet
in these last two together so yarn over insert yarn over pull through yarn over
pull through two yarn over insert yarn over pull through yarn over pull through
two yarn over pull through two so that we have four stitches here
and then the last this is the very last two stitches now so were going to chain two
turn your work yarn over insert into the second chain which will
actually be the last chain yarn over pull through yarn over pull through two
yarn over pull through two and what you're going to do here is yarn over and
pull through again grab your scissors snip off pull out your yarn and pull
nice and tight and there you have your diamond so most of your diamonds will be
full diamonds as I said during the tutorial you might end up doing some
half diamonds and in that case you just work up to the center row it will
consist of 20 rows in total 10 which will be increasing and 10 which will be
decreasing another shape you will need is your half diamond which will go down
the edges of your blanket I will do another video showing you how to do this
half diamond so please check the description box below for that video
