Therefore, don’t be afraid and please enjoy these beautiful, artistic, and fun diamond blanket free crochet patterns.

The Bakewell Blanket
While you can play with colors, even a baby cover in diamonds designed for ombre yarns will work well in monochrome. However, the color gradient here is just fabulous. That said, a little caveat is that this pattern is written in UK terms, so you need to brush up on your translations if you don’t live there.

The diamond stitch is a great technique because it allows the crocheter to make a blanket that has the appearance of being light and airy, but that is still substantial enough to wrap a baby in. With the addition of the colors, this is truly a baby blanket for those with discerning hippy tastes. Moreover, the project is easy and works quickly, so it can even be attempted by those of lesser skill.
