Diamond grid
A repeating diamond lattice that covers the grid in an even argyle field, a versatile background for blankets and scarves. The connected diamonds read as a classic, tidy texture. Load it in the editor to enlarge the diamonds, drop a dot into each one, or crop the field to size, then export the pattern or print the full chart for stitching.

Skill level: advanced
A demanding, detailed design. With filet experience and a numbered chart to follow, the intricate shaping comes together into a striking finished piece.
Yarn and hook
Work the diamond grid in cotton thread for a delicate result, or in DK or worsted cotton on a larger hook for a cushion- or blanket-scale version that still holds the mesh open. Mercerised cotton gives a subtle sheen and crisp stitch definition that suits the clean block edges of filet.
Project ideas
Reach for the diamond grid when you want a minimalist accent. It looks at home on a market bag and a modern throw alike. Crop or enlarge it in the editor so it fits your project exactly.
Who it's for
Stitched for a minimalist, the diamond grid suits a sampler beautifully. Frame it with a border to give a plain gift a finished, considered look.
Size, printing, and scaling
At a 4-mesh-per-inch gauge the chart finishes around 7.5 by 7.5 inches; a finer thread shrinks it and a heavier yarn grows it, so check your own gauge first. Send the chart straight to print for a clean numbered grid, or resize and re-crop it in the editor first and export a PDF, PNG, or CSV.
