3dc in top of the half cluster from previous row. dc in last stitch.

To end your project, finish on "Row 4 "

TIPS:
FAN: 3dc, ch1, 3dc (makes top of diamond)
CLUSTER: 6dc tog (makes bottom of diamond)
Use a stitch marker whenever you begin the 4 row sequence. Simple but such a time saver!
Remember that row 2 and 3 begin with a ch3 and row 4 and 5 begin with a ch1

Hi! This is a beautiful pattern for blankets and scarves. Be sure to check the info in the description box below the video. I've added written details of the 4 row repeat to go along with the video. Hope this helps to memorize this pattern. It's really easy once you get the hang of it. Would love to know what you're working on these days!

[@PlayHookywithMe]

@Cheryl very sImilar but done differently. With the Catherine wheel you’ll get a rounder pattern than this one. You’ll get a more diamond looking stitch with the harlequin . . 👍🏻💕

[@virginia7191]

I was looking for this pattern. I have watched several other videos but, your instructions are by far the easiest to understand! Thank you!

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Oh, good! I’m so glad this helped! 👏🏻👏🏻❤️

[@libbylandscape3560]

What a beautiful pattern, it’s like looking down onto a field of dahlias. Thanks for the easy to follow instructions ❤️

Going to try this stitch hope it ❤is something I can learn

[@denasutera]

Thank you for the “description” area and how you identified each row. Very helpful.

[@garliclovers1416]

Thanks very much. Beautiful pattern. My grandmother used to use this pattern in silk thread to cover wooden coathangers. Now I have seen this I can make some myself. I have silk thread hangers that are a hundred years old in continuous use.

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Oh that sounds utterly gorgeous 🥰

Oh great!! Thank you , Elise! 💕

[@cintiapollock2486]

so so cute love it this way

[@sb4668]

I love your videos, the way you teach is super helpful in understanding the way to effect the stitch. I’m working on your sunburst granny square at the moment. I’m curious about the way you hold your yarn, maybe you could film a quick video about that. Thank you!

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Oh really? Ok I’ll keep that in mind 💕

[@lindajustacrochetsister4659]

Gracias ❤️❤️❤️

[@sharonsaylors2912]

Its the length side i need to know about lol and u totally skiped over it. Wow thank u so much

[@PlayHookywithMe]

The length side? I don’t understand your issue ? What did i skip over?

[@sharonsaylors2912]

Along the side there isnt even stitching like top and bottom

[@PlayHookywithMe]

@@sharonsaylors2912 are you a beginner because I’m not clear what you need from me? Everything to make this stitch was provided in the video. However, this is a classic stitch so I’m sure if this video did not help you , then you’ll find one that can. 💕

[@sharonsaylors2912]

Ill keep looking

[@dawnamendola8690]

Beautiful pattern and great tutorial! I'm using Caron simply soft , if I use an H hook(5) will I get a nice drape ? Or should I use bigger hook ,

[@PlayHookywithMe]

I can’t say for sure since I haven’t worked with that particular yarn but it should be fine. 👍🏻 The best way to know is to try it and see what you think. All yarns behave differently. Hope you enjoy it! 😀🧶💕

[@sagaciouslysage9454]

Excellent video/instructions! New sub, thanks! ~Sage

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Thank you ! 😀❤️

[@godcrochetchatter9234]

Beautiful how do I copy the pattern in the drop down box.

[@PlayHookywithMe]

You might have to Google that because I’m not sure what your are viewing from. If you are on a Mac you should be a able to screen shot it with , control alt 4. On your phone you can screen shot with the power button and volume button pressed at the same time (iPhone) But Google how to screenshot might help most. Keep me posted! 🙌🏻

[@StephRenee812]

How would you decrease or increase on this stitch. I want to make bikini I seen a picture there was no pattern nothing for sale. It started showed in picture 2 circles or whatever they are called then moved up to 5 maybe. Then so on. But the bikini was made from the hip to hip instead of say belly button to down below. If that makes since. I'm new to this stitch. And I wanted something besides sc or dc trying to learn stitches I have trouble on decreasing and increasing anyways. Thank you for your time.. hugs

[@PlayHookywithMe]

I have no idea on how to increase/decrease this stitch. I’d have to study it and figure it out. Sorry , I’m clueless when it comes to making garments! 💕

[@monnysillva7038]

Lindíssimo trabalho.👏👏👏👏🧶

[@masuganut2082]

In your opinion, would this be good for a baby blanket? I’m going to be having baby number three this year and want to make something I have never tried before. Please and thank you ❤️

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Perfect for a baby blanket 👏🏻💕💕 Congratulations on baby number three. Hope the pregnancy goes smoothly 💕

[@masuganut2082]

@@PlayHookywithMe thank you so much!!!! This will be my first summer baby! But our area gets really cold in the winter so I want something warm. Thank you for the quick response! ❤️❤️❤️

[@MargaretSibotean-pb5ln]

That is a Fiesta stitch

[@MargaretSibotean-pb5ln]

Not a harlequin

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Never heard of the fiesta stitch. I’ve only seen this referenced as the harlequin. Share a link to a photo or tutorial so I can see, please.
