18. Diamond Lattice Irish Moss Blanket
What This Idea Means
A classic heritage blanket featuring the rich, pebbly texture of the Irish moss stitch (also known as the granite or trinity stitch) arranged within a grand diamond lattice.
How to Make It
Work with high-grade wool or alpaca yarn in an oatmeal or natural flax color. Combine single crochet and treble crochet stitches worked in alternating sequences to form a dense, bumpy moss-stitch texture framed by raised diagonal diamond cables.
Tips and Variations
- This is an intermediate to advanced stitch pattern that rewards close attention to detail.
- The dense pebbled texture provides incredible warmth and structural weight.
- Add a heavy twisted cord border around the perimeter for a tailored finish.
