About This EZ Diamond Lattice Blanket Pattern

This EZ Diamond Lattice Blanket pattern showcases an impressive textured design that looks complex but follows a logical six-row repeat once you get started. The pattern uses Bernat Alize Blanket-EZ yarn, which features pre-made loops that you work through rather than traditional crochet stitches. The crossing techniques create raised diamond shapes that add incredible dimension and visual interest to your finished blanket.

Working with 68 stitches across and alternating between right-to-left and left-to-right rows without turning creates a unique rhythm. The finished blanket measures approximately 56" wide by 60" long, making it perfect for sofas, beds, or cozy movie nights.

Why You'll Love This EZ Diamond Lattice Blanket Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it creates such a dramatic textured effect that looks incredibly professional and complex, yet once you understand the repeat pattern, it becomes meditative and rhythmic. The chunky Blanket-EZ yarn means this project works up much faster than you'd expect for such a large blanket, and the raised diamond lattice creates beautiful shadows and depth that photographs beautifully. I also appreciate how this pattern teaches advanced techniques like strategic loop crossing and directional working that you can apply to future projects. The no-turn method keeps your work consistent and creates cleaner edges than traditional back-and-forth crochet.

Switch Things Up

I love experimenting with this diamond lattice pattern to create different effects and personalized touches. One of my favorite variations is using multiple colors of Blanket-EZ yarn and switching colors every two rows to create bold striped diamonds that really pop against each other.

You could also try making a smaller version as a lap blanket or baby blanket by starting with 40 loops instead of 68, which maintains the pattern repeat while creating a more manageable project size. For an ultra-luxurious feel, I sometimes work two strands of the Blanket-EZ yarn together for an even chunkier, more dramatic texture.

Another fun variation is adding a simple border around your finished blanket by picking up loops along all four edges and working a few rows of basic stitches in a contrasting color. This frames the diamond lattice beautifully and adds extra stability to the edges.

If you want to challenge yourself further, try incorporating different crossing patterns within some of the diamonds to create a more complex, irregular lattice effect. You could even plan out a specific design on graph paper before starting to create intentional pattern variations throughout the blanket.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Losing track of your position in the pattern repeat - use stitch markers at key points to mark pattern sections and row numbers ✗ Crossing loops in the wrong direction creating twisted or uneven diamonds - always double-check if you're crossing to the right or left as specified ✗ Working too tightly when pulling loops through which makes subsequent rows difficult - maintain consistent tension and give yourself working room with each loop ✗ Forgetting which direction you're working since you don't turn the work - mark your starting edge or keep notes of odd/even rows

— Pattern Repeat:

Info:

Repeat 5th to 10th rows for pattern. Work in pattern until Blanket measures approximately 60 inches (152.5 cm), ending on a 5th row

— Bind Off Row:

Step 1:

Working in same direction as last row, pull 2nd stitch through 1st stitch. Pull 3rd stitch through 2nd stitch. Pull 4th stitch through 3rd stitch

Step 2:

Continue in this manner to end of row. Cut thread at base of loop (thread used to create the loop) to create a yarn tail. Tie to secure and weave in end

Assembly Instructions

  • This blanket requires no assembly as it's worked as one continuous piece from start to finish.
  • Once you complete the final bind-off row, secure your final loop by cutting the thread at its base to create a tail.
  • Tie off the yarn tail securely with a double knot to prevent unraveling.
  • Use a tapestry needle to weave the yarn tail invisibly through several stitches along the edge.
  • Check all edges for any loose loops and secure them if needed before using your blanket.

Important Notes

  • 💡The right side of the project faces you at all times throughout the entire pattern - never turn your work
  • 💡The working yarn is always held behind your stitches as you pull new loops through
  • 💡Keep track of whether you're working right-to-left or left-to-right as this alternates with each row
  • 💡Use stitch markers liberally especially when learning the pattern to mark your place in the repeat
  • 💡The pattern repeat is rows 5-10, so once you master these six rows the rest flows naturally
  • 💡Maintain even tension throughout to ensure your diamond lattice shapes are uniform and well-defined

FAQs

Do I need a crochet hook for this pattern?

No, this pattern uses Bernat Alize Blanket-EZ yarn which has pre-made loops that you work with your fingers rather than a hook. It's a unique finger-knitting style technique.

Why don't I turn my work between rows?

This pattern uses a special no-turn technique where you alternate working right-to-left and left-to-right. This creates cleaner edges and helps maintain the diamond lattice pattern integrity.

How do I keep track of which direction I'm working?

Mark your starting edge with a stitch marker or safety pin, and keep notes of odd and even row numbers. Odd rows typically work right-to-left while even rows work left-to-right.

What if my diamonds look uneven or twisted?

This usually happens when loops are crossed in the wrong direction. Double-check each instruction to see if you should cross to the right or left, and maintain consistent tension throughout.

Can I make this blanket larger or smaller?

Yes, but you'll need to adjust your foundation loop count in multiples of 8 to maintain the diamond pattern repeat. Calculate additional yarn needed based on your size change.
