Mexican Diamonds Blanket Crochet Kit

Mexican Diamonds Blanket Crochet Kit - Janie Crow

Crochet a real eye-catcher with the Mexican Diamonds Blanket Crochet Kit by Jane Crowfoot, known as Janie Crow. The design is inspired by traditional Mexican textile art, which combines geometric shapes, woven fabrics, and colorful embroidery. The result is a richly detailed blanket full of diamond shapes, flowers, and bold color contrasts.

At the center of each diamond motif is a flower built up layer by layer. Surrounding it are contrasting bands that form the characteristic diamond shape. The flowers also appear along the edges of the Blanket. It is precisely this combination of geometric shapes and floral details that gives Mexican Diamonds its unique look.

Please note: the digital pattern for Mexican Diamonds is available exclusively in English and uses British crochet terminology (UK crochet terms). Please keep this in mind before ordering the kit.

A unique design by Jane Crowfoot

The blanket is constructed from separate motifs. You’ll crochet 31 full diamond motifs, supplemented with half diamond motifs for the top, bottom, and sides. Then, all the pieces are crocheted together according to the accompanying diagram to form a single piece.

The pattern combines various crochet techniques. The flowers are built up in multiple layers and finished with surface stitches, among other techniques, giving them extra depth. The process of joining the motifs and the unique edge finish also make this a varied project for Haakster们 who enjoy more elaborate projects.

For the Mexican Diamonds Blanket, you’ll use a carefully curated combination of Stylecraft Life DK and Stylecraft Special DK. The color scheme is tailored to Jane Crowfoot’s design, ensuring that the flowers, diamond shapes, and contrasting borders stand out beautifully.
