17 Crochet Diamond Pattern Ideas You Won’t Want to Miss!
Hello everyone! Today I have a list of 17 Crochet Diamond Pattern Ideas that you’re not going to want to miss!
I’ve noticed after searching for crochet diamond patterns online, there’s not a whole lot of lists on crochet diamond shapes. There’s a lot of information on diamond stitches, but that’s not what this list will include today.
So if you’ve been searching for a crochet diamond shape or a pattern for whatever your next project is, I have quite the list for you!
These are all of the best crochet diamonds that I could find on Pinterest. I’ve done my best to find the original source of these pins as well, but for some, they are quite a mystery!
I’ve crocheted all of these diamond shapes myself, so I have gone through and I’m listing the best ones (in my opinion). I hope you enjoy these too!

What to do with crochet diamond shapes?
Crochet diamonds are great if you like working with motifs to create a larger project or fabric.
For example, there’s a pattern in this list for a blanket called the Ubuntu Crochet Diamond Motif. In that pattern you crochet many diamonds and half diamonds, and then join them together to make a blanket.
Diamond shapes are also great for amigurumi projects that require those shapes for eyes or to decorate.
What do I need to crochet these diamond shapes?
Any yarn and corresponding crochet hook will suffice!
I’ve chosen to crochet all of these diamonds with size 10 crochet thread and a 1.65 crochet hook. Those are super tiny (because I love making lace), but you can use whatever you have on hand or whatever you feel comfortable with.
I’m using a variety of crochet thread from Red Heart Super Saver and Hobby Lobby’s Artiste line.
For some of these patterns, you’ll need to be comfortable reading a crochet diagram, as written instructions may or may not be available.
Of course you’ll need scissors to cut off your yarn and a tapestry needle to sew your ends in.

Alright here we go, your ultimate list of 17 Crochet Diamond Pattern Ideas below!
#1 Single Crochet Diamond Pattern
This simple, Crochet Diamond Pattern is brought to you by Craftsy! You’ll be working this diamond from the bottom, up. In general, you’ll be increasing your single crochets by 1 each row until you’re happy with the size of the bottom of the diamond shape, then you’ll reduce by 1 single crochet until the tip.
#2 Crochet Diamond Motif Pattern
The Crochet Diamond Motif Pattern, by Atty’s, is a crochet diamond shape where you work from the center, out. What’s neat about this pattern, is that not only is a whole diamond pattern offered, but a half diamond pattern and a top/bottom pattern is too! This is great if you’re using this motif to create a straight edged fabric and need a way to fill in the gaps between diamonds.
#3 Spicy Diamond Blanket Pattern
The Spicy Diamond Blanket Pattern consists of many crochet diamond shapes. These shapes are then connected to form a crochet blanket. There are also patterns to make half/top/bottom diamonds as well. What’s really cool about this diamond pattern is the airy, openwork stitches that are displayed in the center and as an outline for the shape.
#4 Crochet Diamond Granny Square
This is a granny square pattern turned diamond! Instead of all corners growing out equally, two of the corners are shorted to create a classic crochet diamond shape. You’ll find the pattern to this diamond very last on the page. There’s a diagram available and written instructions, however they are in French, so you might need to use Google translate to help read it. You can grow this diamond to be as big or little as you want! I’ve grown my granny square diamond a few rows larger and it’s worked out well!

This is a textured crochet diamond pattern created by Michael Sellick from the Crochet Crowd. This is a large diamond shape that is meant to be sewn together with other diamonds to make a blanket. Not pictured is the half diamond shape you’ll need if you want a square blanket. This was a fun and interesting crochet diamond to make. I’ve made this one with crochet thread, so it’s much smaller than what it should be, but I love it. It would make for a great diamond shaped doily decoration.
#6 Ubuntu Crochet Diamond Motif
The Ubuntu Crochet Diamond Motif is another large diamond pattern. It’s similar to #5 in this list, as it has a variety of various textures. This is a diagram only pattern, with a whopping 17 rows. You’ll be crocheting popcorn stitches, puff stitches, front post and back post double crochets.
#7 Crochet Lace Diamond Pattern
This diagram of a beautiful, lacy, crochet diamond works up quickly. In this pattern, you’ll crochet an outline of treble crochet clusters, with a lace interior consisting of 2 treble crochets together. I would pay close attention when you start to decrease at row 10, as it’s easy to skip or put extra treble crochets. This is indeed a very pretty crochet diamond pattern, plus I love lace, so it’s a bonus!
#8 Crochet Diamond Scheme 106
The Crochet Diamond Scheme 106 is an eight row diamond pattern embedded with double and treble crochet clusters. The clusters make the diamond look like it has leaves or flowers throughout.
#9 Crochet Raw Diamond Pattern
The Crochet Raw Diamond Pattern, by Hiroko Furuya is a gorgeous crochet lace diamond pattern published in the magazine, Decorative Crochet, Nov 1999, #72 and 1000 Mailles, #213 Jun 1999. This links to a page out of one of these magazines. There are instructions to help get you started, but then it references the diagram for the rest of the rows. The diagram is a little blurry, but I was able to manage and I’m sure you will too.
#10 Crochet Diamond Motif #133
How about a short and sweet diamond pattern? The Crochet Diamond Motif #133 is only 5 rounds long. I opted to use only one color yarn throughout, but it does suggest to use 3.
#11 Dandelion Diamond
The Dandelion Diamond is a floral crochet diamond pattern where you’ll be using a combination of treble crochets and treble crochets together to make a “dandelion” motif. Starting the pattern, you’ll chain 27, work back into it, and then you’ll leave behind a number of chains when you move onto row 2. It might feel weird at first, but it’ll make sense later on. There is also a diagram to reference to which is nice.
#12 Olympus Emmy Grande Crochet Diamond

This is a beautiful, 19 round diamond pattern. I can only find the diagram for this one, so no written pattern this time. I thoroughly enjoyed making this one, it’s big and lacy, with a nice floral edging. You’ll be crocheting alternate rounds of solid double crochets, then mesh stitches.
#13 Japanese Crochet Diamond Motif
A 7 round crochet diamond motif, this Japanese pattern is short, but packs an interesting punch. Start with a chain 6 and close to make a loop, make 20 double crochet into the center, then follow the rest of the diagram to finish. This is a lovely, lacy diamond.
#14 Irish Diamond Pattern
This crochet diamond is from the book, 75 Floral Blocks to Crochet by Betty Barnden. Unfortunately this book is out of print, but it looks like someone was able to share a few patterns from the book on Pinterest. I love these lacy diamond patterns, but I found the instructions a little confusing at first, but that’s because you’re supposed to count the beginning chain 1s in each round as a stitch!
#15 Geometric Crochet Diamond
This is a pattern where you’re supposed to make three diamonds of various colors and then sew them together to create a repeating abstract motif. The diamonds sewn together make it appear as a shaded cube, a pattern I’m sure you’ve seen before!
#16 Kingcup Diamond
Another pattern from Betty Barnden’s book, 75 Floral Blocks to Crochet! The Kingcup Diamond is a lacy diamond that boasts an eight petaled flower right in the center.
#17 Cross Diamond Motif
This is a diagram only pattern of a diamond motif with a cross in the middle. The pattern suggests using three different colors to make the cross part pop.
That concludes our list of 17 Crochet Diamond Pattern Ideas that you won’t want to miss!
Hopefully some of these will suit your needs, as there were a variety of sizes and stitch layouts.
