Crocheting diamonds

With this basic tutorial you learn to crochet diamonds/harlequins/triangles with clear lines - and can for example make a diamond bunting if you like. The pattern is available in Finnish and English.

For this basic pattern you can use many yarns, but when crocheting tapestry crochet mercerized cotton is a good choice since it doesn't split. Choose also a smaller hook size than normally (2,5 instead of 3). You can find this information in the pattern as well and some suggestion for yarns. Finished measurement is counted for Schachenmayr Catania.

In the pictures, you see some of the projects I have made with this tapestry crochet technique so far.
