Five Diamonds Granny Square

A lacy crocheted square for shawls, throws, pillow overlays, curtains, or afghans. This pattern is called “Five Diamonds" because, no matter which way it is turned, there are five diamonds (or squares), one within another, in the center of the square. Each square in the pictured sample measures 25.4 cm x 25.4 cm (10" x 10"), when blocked. Approximately 34g (1.2 oz/63 yds) worsted weight yarn (10-ply or #4) for each square. Sample shown uses Red Heart Super Saver in Soft White. Skill level is intermediate, but an advanced beginner would be able to complete the project using the addendum for round six. Addendum includes expanded, line-by-line instructions and detailed photos. Pattern is written in US english with UK/AU/NZ equivalents in parentheses and detailed instructions for US stitches.
