Today’s diamond crochet cable pattern will be a little more difficult then the previous one’s we have done, but the finished design is ah-MAZE-ing and makes it totally worth the trouble!

Thanks so much for stopping by!
Jerica,
Please show another video beginning with row 2 as if you were just starting the blanket. I’ve watched your video online at you tube, but your swatch up to where you begin the video does not resemble my row 2. Could you please do another video showing from the beginning, row two, after row 1. I had no trouble whatsoever reading the instructions on row 1 and crocheting it, but when I do row 2, it does not look like yours on the video. Please start with as if you were making another one of these blankets and do the actual row 2. Thanks so much!
Hi Lanelle, Please join the YHN Facebook group and ask your question so I can help you in there. It’s a great place to share pics of your work and for me to do informal video tutorials. Here is a link to the group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/YHNstitchsocial/
Does this have a video? I love the look sand hope to try it after my next project. I’m nervous to try the special stitch without watching it be done! Thanks.
Here’s the link!

Did you use the wool ease thick and Quick for this pattern?
yes, I did!
The link for the video seems to be unavailable. Is there another site where it can be viewed? Thank you.
Hi Terri, I’m sorry but, unfortunately, there is not.
In row 2, when you say “tr in CH behind and below single crochet picot” what does that mean exactly. I would like clarity as to what chain you’re talking about. Is it at the base of the single crochet pivot? Please help!
How many should I chain for a throw blanket? I did 123 but that count isn’t working as I’m progressing.
How many do I need to chain at the beginning for a throw blanket?
Hi,
I Love your Diamond Crochet Blanket, I have started it and it is looking good! Unfortunately my wrist is not liking the crochet part (former carpal tunnel injury). I would really like to make the blanket, do you possibly have a similar design in knit pattern. For whatever reason I can knit for longer periods time than I can crochet.
Thank You!
