For that reason, it's a good idea to learn the crochet diamond stitch in rows first. The complexity of working across multiple rows tends to get even more confusing for most people when projects are worked in the round. Tip: Keep track of your rows with stitch markers and a row counter tool or app. As a result, you really need to know which row you're on. You'll come back up and work single crochets on row four and drop back down to do more post stitches. For example, you might be working across row four but when it comes time to do your post stitches then you'll be dropping down and working around the stitches in row two. The diamond stitch is also unique in that you're often working on more than one row at a time. Practice both of these types of stitches on their own, worked in rows as well as in rounds, to get ready to excel at crocheting the diamond stitch.įor more information, see our tutorial on crochet post stitches.
