I took pages of scribbled notes and I'm about to try this in sport weight baby yarn for a boy. Wish me luck! Your instructions are perfect, thank you for the inspiration!

[@maggielo738]

A million thanks for your video and written tutorial. I had a written tutorial for a diamond lace wrap but the pattern writer left out crucial directions. I was very disappointed as I love this pattern. I am now able to make this into a wrap-scarf thanks to you. Again, you're a doll for taking the time with your videos and writing your tutorials out. New fan and subscriber!

[@Meladora1]

Thanks Maggie! So glad I could help.

I've always wanted to make this blanket but I could never figure out the pattern. Thanks for making it so easy to follow!

This will be my first attempt to make this stitch. You make it look so easy to fallow.

I already bought the yarn for this. A beautiful emerald green and can’t wait to start. Just have to finish a blanket I started a few days ago. Thank you.

Thank you. Great pattern!

I didn't think I could do a pattern like this, until I saw your tutorial. Now I think I can. I'll try, anyway. Thanks.

This is great and you explain very well. Thank You!

[@susanstewart1402]

Thank you for the clear instructions Meladora. There is a terrific scarf on Ravelry done using the diamond lace stitch on the diagonal in Katia Soft Lino gradient yarn. It was posted by a Chinese blogger and there is no pattern, only the photos. I should be able to figure it out from here.

[@Meladora1]

Wonderful! So glad I could help, I wish you the best with you scarf, I hope it comes out just like you hoped it would 😊

[@Kowthy06]

I can’t wait to try this. Love the way you explain this video

[@user-on7zd8yi8g]

Thank you for your clear instructions. Beautiful stitch!

[@annekaltschmidt135]

Very cool technique. And you could do that with more single crochet - bigger diamonds. Or use double crochet and longer chains to get a looser, drapier textile... I see a shawl coming

[@Meladora1]

I think you're on to something. This is what I would try as well if I was you and desired more of a lacier shawl. I wish you the best of luck! :D

A very pretty pattern. Thank you

[@tinigenie34]

Hey Miss Meladora. I must say that this pattern is just beautiful. I love crocheting and knitting so much. I finally started a website. Lol I have no idea where to start, but I am going to start, darn it. I would like to thank you for inspiring me. I watch KZbin tutorial after tutorial and I finally decided to go for it. So thanks for being my inspiration. Love you Stitch Sister.

Great tutorial! Thanks for sharing!

[@gabrielladanpic8381]

Very nice pattern. I would love to make this in a V shaped shall, Can you alter the shape to be in a V? If so, do you have the time to make a video to help us out?

[@jennyplowman1471]

delightful pattern. Instructions clear and concise. thank you.

[@Meladora1]

Thank you Jenny! And again sorry the auto wasn't as high quality as it usually is. Glad everything can still be understood :D

[@kerrynfelling1576]

Thank you for a brilliant video. I have followed it easily. How would you put a border around this for a blanket? Thank you

[@Meladora1]

Glad it was helpful! Most of the time when I want a border I start with making a row of single crochets all the way around putting 3 single crochets on the corner, then I just experiment and even out my stitches as needed then I find an easy border pattern I like and try to add it to see if it fits. :D

[@littlesed5742]

just found out your amazing video and I love it. I plan to make a cardigan out of this pattern but I don't have any clue on how to decrease this pattern ? If someone has any idea to help I'd be sooo gratefull !!

[@Meladora1]

Sounds wonderful. Given the way the pattern is worked, the only way would be to change the pattern on the ends where you plan on decreasing. Start a few rows before you actually intend to decrease so it looks more natural

[@elizabethrivera1767]

lovely work

[@Zamandla18]

Beautiful stitch.....will definitely try it.

[@Meladora1]

Good luck! Please excuse the audio on this one.

[@kimquinn7728]

I love the width you are making in the video. Can you please post how many inches wide it is and what # of chains you made? Would be so grateful.

[@Meladora1]

It's been so long since this video, I don't have a piece to measure. Best to go by the multiples until it's about the size you need.

[@jillianfollis1461]

So how many chains did you do all together to begin with? Also, are you counting the very last one as a stitch?

[@Meladora1]

This was just a sample piece, but I can tell you every multiple of 9 chains a diamond. Make it as wide as you want in multiples of 9, once you reach your desired size then you'll add the + 7 then you're ready to begin row 1. And yes I am counting the very last one as a stitch. The first and last stitch is very important in this pattern design.

[@amritbawa164]

Awesome....thank you for share this video

[@auntviolet]

Thank you so much Meladora! I really like your tutorials, I think I learned how to crochet mostly with you as well as Happy Berry. My favorite teachers! Have you ever met the other crochet teachers on KZbin? Also how do you suggest blocking this? My yarn is too bumpy. Thank you!!!

[@Meladora1]

Awesome to know i'm one of your favorites! I've never met any other teachers on KZbin because I moved to Israel before starting my business. Wish I could help you with blocking, but I have only done blocking once and didn't really see the point of it, so never tried it again. I'm not saying blocking is bad or wrong, only that I personally never had a use for it.

[@auntviolet]

@@Meladora1 It's so funny, because you have a kind of midwest-southern accent I always pictured you in Kentucky or Tennessee, with a bunch of kids playing outside! Israel is about the last place I thought you might be recording these (well, maybe not China...) How did you wind up in Israel? My Uncle Jack became Orthodox about 20 years ago and now lives outside Jerusalem-but he still sounds like he's from New York! BTW I unraveled the first one and am now using plain old Sugar and Cream in various colors. I am thinking of doing some cross-stitching in the diamonds...Thank you!

[@Meladora1]

@@auntviolet it's a long story 😄 I wrote some of it in the "about me" section of my site. You got my accent down, I grew up in Oklahoma City 😄

[@MrGreenLand]

This is such a beautiful pattern! Do you have any tips on colour changes? For example if I wanted to make a baby blanket with 2 colours in this pattern, how many rows do you recommend before I start the second colour? Would it look too busy?

[@Meladora1]

It goes in a diagonal pattern so that you always half half of one square one the side of half the square beside it. So if you wanted to try it I would recommend when you were on a middle row when both diamonds were 1/2 and 1/2 to change colors.

[@vindab06]

I just love this! What type of border do you think would flatter this pattern?

[@Meladora1]

Can't say honestly. Not a edging kinda girl. At least not yet. So got nothing to recommend atm :D

[@Imagoodn]

The patterns you share are versatile and lovely, and your tutorials are so clear. Thank you so much. Your instruction has helped me move up the ladder from beginner to intermediate level in my crocheting. I make items to donate to new babies in hospital, their mothers who have limited resources, family, and friends. What a wonderful, creative, and practical craft. 💗👍🏼🤗

[@susankuncl2195]

Am doing 3rows of single crochet as the border to provide stability and showcase the beauty of the design.

[@jennythomasmathew]

Very pretty! I'm planning to make a table runner with this pattern. I'm a real crochet novice. Ive only done a scarf before this. I'd like to make it fine and lace like. What yarn and hook size would you recommend? Thank you!

[@Meladora1]

I recommend getting some 2 ply cotton yarn and a 2 to 3 mm hook which is a B or C in the US.

[@jennythomasmathew]

Meladora's Creations for Crochet thank you so much!

[@inartina]

I would like to see this in a triangle shape like shawl or something.

[@joanhodge3877]

I have a actual pattern for this but could not follow it tried and ripped it out 16 times thankyou so much for this tutorial I am now sailing through my new grandsons shawl

very nice pattern, thank you for sharing =)

Me gustaría aprender hacerlo pero sería posible poner subtítulos en español Gracias y un saludo desde Palma de Mallorca

[@Meladora1]

I updated the free pattern to make it easier to read. Please go take a look at it, you can google translate the pattern and hopefully it will be enough for you to make this beautiful stitch!

[@susanwayne6582]

Lovely stitch. Your instructions are so clear! and we all appreciate that I'm sure. It appears as if the lower portion of your work (starting chain) pulls in a little. Is that an optical illusion or does it indeed pull in a bit. Is there a way to prevent that from happening? Perhaps a foundation single crochet to start? I'd really like to hear what you have to say. Can't wait to try this one.

[@Meladora1]

Yes a foundation single crochet is the best way to prevent that from happening. You could try going up one hook size just to make the chain, then switch back down to your recommended hook for your project. I find that many of the people who watch me prefer to chain and that's fine with me, but if you're experienced enough to start afghans with the foundation stitches then I think you should always use it instead of chains.

[@susanwayne6582]

Thanks for the guidance.

[@efbellitti9812]

Does anyone know from experience if color changing yarn works with this pattern?

[@carolbaesler3963]

This is pretty but after the row nine I will be lost so unless you do another nine rows I think 🤔 I will give up Very nice 👍

[@Meladora1]

Back up the video and I will take you through it as many times as you need. I show the full repeat of the stitch. I mark each row so you can easily go back to row 2 and continue

[@sarahbenson5337]

Is there a border for this design?

[@Meladora1]

Afraid not. This is a stitch tutorial

[@lillian7007]

Very nice stitch Can you make a hat from this stitch?

[@Meladora1]

You can make a hat out of any stitch. Just need to know the multiples and the size needed.

[@taftissamades]

looks great:)

[@suzytsaab388]

I wanted to know where you got your hook?

[@DenizinElisiGunlugu]

@19:10 in the video… there is no “T” in the word ‘across!’ 😡

[@Meladora1]

Yeah this was a habit I finally broke a few years ago LoL

[@elizabethsmith6562]

Watching the video I feel that row 3 needs to be rewritten. It’s very confusing.

[@Meladora1]

You're right! I just rewrote the whole thing. I hope it's easier to understand now.

[@stacyfletcher7767]

I usually like your tutorials but this went through the pattern to fast and it was to confusing.. 🙁

Going too fast have to keep pausing 😂
