Diamond Wave Crochet Pattern (Tutorial + Video)
Diamond Wave Pattern – Pattern Description
Today I have another wavy crochet pattern tutorial for you called the Diamond Wave Pattern. I have a few wavy pattern tutorials on my blogs like the long wave pattern or the rolling wave stitch but this is my favorite of them all.
The diamond wave crochet pattern, also known as the stained glass stitch, is a wavy stitch that is crocheted in 2 or more colors and uses long single crochet stitches to give the illusion of individual colorful stained glass pieces or diamonds.
Today I will show you how to crochet the diamond wave pattern with step-by-step photos and explanations and a video for those of you who find it easier to learn by watching how is it done.

Special Stitches
Long Single Crochet (long sc) – A long single crochet is made in the same way as regular single crochet, except you insert your hook one or two rows below and draw a longer loop.
Pattern Instructions
- The yarn is carried on the side of the pattern for each color change and you can later on crochet a sc crochet border around it. If you don’t want to do that, cut the yarn at every color change and later on weave in the ends.
- To change colors, complete your stitch, then pull the new color through the loop on your hook.
- Ch1 made at the beginning of rows do not count as stitches, ch3 made at the beginning of rows count as a double crochet.
- The long sc stitches are made 2 rows below into the stitches that you skipped (except for Row 2 where you make them one row below into the chains you skipped on Row 1.
- Mix and match colors for a stained glass effect, but keep in mind that the single crochet rows should be made in one color only so it will look like a frame.
- Row 1 and the Final Row are there to give you a flat seam (useful for blankets)
This pattern requires you to chain multiples of 12 chains + 1 chain. My starting chain is 37 made in brown.
Row 1: continue with brown, dc in 5th ch from hook, hdc, sc, sk2, ch2, *sc, hdc, dc in next 2sts, tr in next 2sts, dc in next 2sts, hdc, sc, sk2, ch2*, repeat from * until you have 4sts left, sc, hdc, dc in next 2sts, turn
Row 2: switch colors to yellow, ch1 (does not count as a stitch), sc in next 4sts, long sc in next 2ch that you skipped one row below, *sc in next 10sts, long sc in the next 2ch one row below*, repeat from * until you have 4sts left, sc in last 4sts, ch1 (does not count as a st), turn
Row 3: continue with yellow, sc in each st across, turn
Row 4: switch colors to brown, ch1 (does not count as a st), sc, hdc, dc in next 2sts, tr in the next 2sts, dc in the next 2sts, hdc, sc, *sk2, ch2, sc, hdc, dc in next 2sts, tr in the next 2sts, dc in the next 2sts, hdc, sc*, repeat from * until the end of the row, turn
Row 5: continue with brown, ch1 (does not count as a st), sc, hdc, dc in next 2sts, tr in the next 2sts, dc in the next 2sts, hdc, sc, *sk2, ch2, sc, hdc, dc in next 2sts, tr in the next 2sts, dc in the next 2sts, hdc, sc*, repeat from * until the end of the row, turn
Row 6: switch colors to yellow, ch1(does not count as a st), sc in next 10sts, * long sc in the stitches you skipped 2 rows below (in row 4), sc in next 10sts*, repeat from * until the end of the row, ch1 (does not count as a st), turn
Row 7: continue with yellow, sc in each st across, turn
Row 8: switch colors to brown, ch3 (counts as a dc), dc in next, hdc, sc, *sk2, ch2, sc, hdc, dc in next 2sts, tr in the next 2sts, dc in the next 2sts, hdc, sc*, sk2, ch2, sc, hdc, dc in the last 2sts, turn
Row 9: continue with brown, ch3 (counts as a dc), dc in next, hdc, sc, *sk2, ch2, sc, hdc, dc in next 2sts, tr in the next 2sts, dc in the next 2sts, hdc, sc*, sk2, ch2, sc, hdc, dc in the last 2sts, turn
Row 10: switch colors to yellow, ch1 (does not count as a st), sc in next 4sts, long sc in the next 2sts (the ones you skipped 2 rows below), *sc in next 10sts, long sc in the next 2sts (the ones you skipped 2 rows below)*, repeat from * until you have 4sts left, sc in last 4sts, ch1 (does not count as a st), turn
Row 11: continue with yellow, sc in each st across, turn
Repeat rows 4 – 11 until you have the required length. This is a picture of the blanket I am working on, it shows you what the pattern looks like in multiple repeats (pattern coming soon!)
The final row is there to give you a flat seam, just like row 1. It also doesn’t skip stitches because you don’t want gaps in your project, instead, just make a sc in each.
Once you have the desired length for your project, make this row.
Final Row: switch colors to brown, ch1 (does not count as a st), sc, hdc, dc in next 2sts, tr in the next 2sts, dc in the next 2sts, hdc, sc, *sc in next 3sts, hdc, dc in next 2sts, tr in the next 2sts, dc in the next 2sts, hdc, sc*, repeat from * until the end of the row, fasten off.
