this is a new pattern to me, diamonds in crochet. never tried doing them, i know various ways to do them in knitting. got this pattern from herrscheners it was in a packet of yarn from local senior center. thought i'd make up this afghan for them to sell at their annual Christmas bazaar to raise money for the center and trips, etc.
i will have to rip this apart as the gauge is off but i wanted to see what the pattern would become. it's 9 rounds in total and another square will abutt the next one forming a diamond using popcorns. says it's to be 8' square and to make 48 of them. not sure if there's enough yarn for that but will make what i can.
starts out with popcorns and uses clusters for corners. while also making popcorns in the form of a diamond for the other ends of the square.
takes about 1 1/2 hours to do the full 9 rounds for one square.

Do you still have the pattern? My mother came across hers, but one line from round 2 can't be read because of where the paper was creased.
Hi not sure I still have it but it should be on the net as it's widely known form of granny square.

it is an older pattern. haven't found it on the net but if you have row 1 and row 3 it should not be hard to figure out? let me know what you have. i can not even find my pattern, looked for several hours tonight. think by looking at square if i can get a good enough pic i can figure out center?
Thank you. I believe my mother did figure it out.
