19. Velvet Diamond Diamond Lattice Throw
What This Idea Means
A glamorous, high-end statement piece that combines rich velvet yarn with an embossed diamond lattice pattern that shimmers in the light.
How to Make It
Utilize deep charcoal or midnight navy velvet yarn. Work raised front-post stitches in interlocking diagonal lines to create an embossed diamond grid across the body of the blanket, leaving the inner diamonds in a soft, plush half-double crochet fill.
Tips and Variations
- The light reflection off the velvet pile makes the diamond pattern shift visually from different angles.
- Use a stitch marker at diamond intersection points to keep your grid perfectly aligned.
- Pair with matching velvet throw pillows for a cohesive designer look.
