Diamonds really are a girl's best friend

Happy New Year ๐Ÿ˜ƒ ๐ŸŽ‡๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿธ, hope you have all managed to find some time to enjoy some crochet during the Christmas period.





Today I'm sharing my gorgeous Diamond Motif pattern. Diamonds really are a girl’s best friend. 


The pattern is available on both dannycatcrochet.com and on Ravelry


For this pattern, I have continued with my theme of using the treble stitch, with the addition of a central grid pattern to provide interest.





The motif is one of the samples I have been working on for Part 2 of my International Diploma in Crochet.  It was designed to be used as either part of a small throw, cushion or sweater.


The yarn used is Scheepjes 100% acrylic double knitting. This yarn is beautifully soft and anti-piling, and is therefore often used for motifs, clothing or home decor items. The colour is vibrant and has an autumnal feel. It would be well placed with earthy colours (browns, reds, oranges and greens).


The 4 mm hook was recommended on the yarn label. 


Hope you enjoy my diamond motif pattern.

Right-Angled Triangle Pattern


Happy Friday ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Today I'm sharing my gorgeous Right-Angled Triangle Motif. The pattern is available on dannycatcrochet.com and on Ravelry.

For this pattern, treble stitch remains my focus, as it's such a soothing, adaptable stitch, however, in this pattern it is single trebles rather grouped trebles.



The right-angled triangle  motif is the last  of three triangles I have recently been working on  for Part 2 of my International Diploma in Crochet  Again, it was  designed to be used as either part of a small throw or cushion.

The yarn used is Stylecraft 100% acrylic double knitting. The yarn is both durable and safe to put in the washing machine. It is ideal for household items that sustain a lot of use.



The hook size 4 mm chosen was recommended on the yarn label. 

The complementary colours used are Violet and clematis (purple and pink).  Nature provided the inspiration, notably the colour of fuchsias that beautifully adorn many Summer gardens.


Hope you have enjoyed my trilogy of triangles.
