Diamonds and Columns Infinity Scarf
A simple stitch sequence forms this light diamond scarf pattern. The alternating columns of diagonals and straight stitches creates an interesting texture. 
I used about 2/3s of a skein on Simply Soft in Blue Mint with an I hook. 
The diamond shaped stitch pattern makes for a great simple project. My scarf is about 72" x 7". 
Xoxo, Alyssa

Hi, having trouble with the turning ch, my 1st row ends with a block diag, then ch 3 turn, Row 3 says doub in next 2 stiches, but w/the turn ch it makes 3, looking at the other end, there is only 1 doub and a turning ch.
ReplyDeleteI love this pattern and I want to get it right.
thanks :)
Your first row should end with three double crochet stitches. I think if you can fix that, that should fix the problem of having one stitch on the one side. Also, the ch 3 turning chain counts as a double crochet stitch. Maybe you weren't counting it as one?
DeleteI hope that helps, but feel free to comment again if it doesn't.
Thank you Alyssa, I will try again :)
ReplyDeletethank you alyssa, it took me a few minuted the get the pattern in my head, but am enjoying the process. I love the color.

It is a wonderful, mindless pattern once you get used to it. Enjoy it!
DeleteLove this pattern (and the color you chose) ! I'm definitely going to make this scarf, but this stitch would be so pretty in other items. I have visions of a lapghan in soft sage . . . Thank you so much for the gorgeous pattern!
ReplyDeleteIt would make a beautiful lapghan, I'm sure.
DeleteThank you for your kinds words!
I wanted to know if this scarf could be made with caron yarn instead of red heart yarn. You have such talent and thank you for showing us your Art.
ReplyDeleteSimply Soft is by Caron, so I would say definitely! You can use whatever yarn you want.
DeleteI don't understand what you mean by "3 dc around last dc worked.
ReplyDeleteInstead of making the next dc into the next stitch, dc around the stitch you just worked three times. It's also called working around the post sometimes.
DeleteHello, I had the same problem as Anonymous of July 1, in that one end was a block diagonal, & the other end was 2 dc. After four tries & much frustration, I realized that in row 1, after dc in fourth chain, we need one more dc before starting the pattern. So, chain 29, then dc in 4th & 5th chain. This makes 3 dc on both ends as it should be. Hope this helps. It really is a beautiful pattern, can't wait to finish!
ReplyDeleteYou're right, you do need to have three dc sts on either side. I'm surprised this got past me for so long!
DeleteThe cowl is beautiful! Do you have a gauge so I can tell that I'm not too loose or too tight? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI never gauge my work actually, since I figure it's a scarf not an actual garment (I do gauge those!) but with the pattern here, I can't tell you what a four inch square would be. The block of three dc is 3/4" wide and 1" tall, if that helps.
DeleteNice scarf! I like the stitch it looks lovely ! :)

Thanks!
DeleteIs the "3rd ch of the diagonal block" meaning of the "chain 3's" the 3rd one going back or the actual 3rd one done??
ReplyDeleteThe 3rd ch of the diagonal block is referring to the ch 3, which then has 3 dc worked around it.
DeleteI guess I don't understand how to "work around it". I looked up Diagonal block and it looked to me like you went into each of the loops of the double crochet????
ReplyDeleteIf you pretend that the dc is a stitch, you have to ch3, and then work 3dc around that dc. Basically, you cover it up with the 3dc.
