The Diamond Granny Stitch SIMPLIFIED 🧶🤩

In this video, I share how to do the beautiful Diamond Granny Stitch.
The stitch itself is an easy one row repeat but the color changes can be a bit tricky until you get the hang of it.
Until then you can find a color key below to help you remember the sequence.

Granny Stripe sequence
Make a chain that is multiple of 3 and an odd number.
Add 1 more at the end.
R1 Work 2 dc in 4th ch from hook.
*sk 2 chs, 3 dc in 3rd chain. Repeat * across until 3 chs remain.
1 dc in last ch. Ch 3 and turn.
R2 Work 2 dc in sp below chain. Work 3 dc in next sp between clusters from previous row. Repeat across and add 1 dc in last st of the row. ch 3 and turn.
Repeat R2 to completion.

(Cluster: 3 dc in same st)

For color changes, each letter represents 1 color.

3 Color Sequence A B C
R1 A across
R2 Alternate A-B. Begin and end with A
R3 B across
R4 Alternate C-B. Begin and end with C
R5 C across
Repeat R 2-5 to completion

2 Color Sequence A B

R2 Alternate A-B Begin and end with A
R3 B across
R4 Alternate A-B Begin and end with A
R5 A across
Repeat R 2-5 to completion

Hi friends! I hope you enjoy the video. This stitch is a beautiful one. The one row repeat is super easy but the color changing sequence can take some getting used to. Please check the description box to find a color key to have nearby as you work on the stitch. I think it will help. xx

I love this pattern. You style of teaching us crochet patterns is so easy to follow. I have a very short memory, so i play your videos all throughout making my projects. Im so thankful that i came across you a couple years ago ❤️.

Thank you so much for showing me completed sample at the beginning. It is really appreciated.Great video overall. Lovely clear instructions, close videoing. Happy to subscribe.

Very beautiful pattern. I will give it a try this afternoon! I like how you "hid" your strand on the back side of your work. 💖

So I have shyed away from the diamond granny pattern because I can't get passed the floaters and in one tutorial she said when doing color work there's a front and back side but.... doing the color changes the way you do ( the technique) there are no floaters ! You can't see them ! I've tried this pattern quite a few times following other tutorials but just kept putting it down. So my conclusion is that hiding the floating yarn is all in the color changing technique. Thank you Roz !

Hi Roz
This is a gorgeous stitch. It would make a beautiful blanket. As always your tutorials are such a blessing and a delight. I could listen to you for hours especially teaching crocheting. 😊
I sure do appreciate you Roz. Thank you for another fantastic tutorial and teaching me something new. I hope you have a blessed night and week. 😊❤

Roz I now have a new favorite way of changing colors, I like the way the last color ends up at the bottom so it's easier to carry through. I love this pattern, I was practicing while watching the video. Thanks a bunch, I hope you're having a wonderful day.
