Two coordinating yarn colors work together to create a layered diamond motif that gives the finished blanket a sophisticated, almost three-dimensional appearance.

Special Stitch: Mosaic Double Crochet
Mosaic Double Crochet (Mosaic Dc): Work a double crochet into the skipped single crochet three rows below, working in front of the chain spaces.
This special stitch is the key to creating the eye-catching diamond pattern. As you work each repeat, the mosaic double crochets form the geometric shapes across the blanket.
Pattern Notes
Before beginning, keep these points in mind:
- Each skipped single crochet has chain spaces worked above it for two rows. These spaces create the opening where the Mosaic Dc is worked later.
- Chain-2 spaces count as one stitch where indicated.
- Always work the Mosaic Dc in front of the chain spaces.
- Carry the unused yarn color loosely along the side of your work.
- The foundation chain is worked in a multiple of 12 + 16 stitches.
- The main design is worked over a repeating 24-row pattern.
Crochet Instructions
Using Color A, chain 160.
Setup Rows
Row 1: Single crochet in the second chain from the hook and in each chain across. You should have 159 sc. Turn.
Row 2: Chain 1, then single crochet in each stitch across. Turn.
Now begin the mosaic diamond pattern.
Mosaic Pattern
The main design is worked using a 24-row repeat. Each pair of rows alternates between Color A and Color B, combining single crochet, chain-2 spaces, and Mosaic Double Crochet stitches to gradually build the diamond motif.
Continue repeating the established 24-row sequence until the blanket measures approximately 62 in. (157.5 cm) from the starting edge.
Finish after Row 24, then fasten off.
Take your time when working the mosaic stitches, especially during the first repeat. Once you can clearly see how the Mosaic Dc is placed in front of the chain spaces, the geometric pattern becomes much easier to follow.
Side Edging
With the right side facing, join Color A with a slip stitch in one corner.
Chain 1, then work single crochet stitches evenly along the side edge, enclosing the carried yarn as you go. Fasten off.
Repeat the same process along the opposite side of the blanket.
Weave in any remaining ends with a tapestry needle and trim the excess yarn.
Color Inspiration
One of the best things about this design is how different color combinations can completely change its appearance. Try one of these palettes or create your own:
- Modern Minimalist: Charcoal gray and cream
- Boho Glow: Mustard and coral pink
- Ocean Mist: Teal and ivory
- Classic Comfort: Beige and navy blue
A self-striping yarn paired with a solid shade creates particularly interesting effects, allowing the diamond motif to develop naturally as you crochet.
