Week Nineteen Of The Country Garden Crochet Along

It’s week 19 of the Country Garden crochet along. This week we’re going to make the Diamond stitch again, but this time with 2 colours to really make those beautiful diamonds stand out

If you would like the ad free printable version, it is available either as part of my Lifetime Pattern Pass, or you can purchase it on its own for just £5 from Ravelry

This pattern is written in US terms, but the UK translation are:

yo (yarn over
sc (single crochet) = Double crochet
dc (double crochet) = treble crochet
tr (treble crochet) = Double treble crochet

If you would like to follow my colour scheme in either Paintbox Cotton Aran or Caron Simply Soft, you can find my colours here
