🧶 31 Days of Squares: Day 6 – Diamonds in the Round

Day 6 Crochet Square - Diamonds in the Round

We’re switching things up for a few days and diving into Ravelry territory. I’ve bookmarked some promising squares, and today’s pick had me both excited and slightly frazzled. 😅

The square? Diamonds in the Round by Beverly Button. It’s a bold, eye-catching square—and it makes a statement. But friends, this one is not for the faint of hook.

🧶 Pattern Thoughts: Proceed with Caution

You can find the pattern here: Diamonds in the Round – 8-inch Square.

Let me be honest: this pattern is not beginner-friendly. It looks approachable at first glance, but once you dive in, it demands a high level of stitch awareness and adaptability. If you enjoy frogging… you’ll love this. 😬

I was hoping to feature easier patterns during the early part of this challenge, but this one snuck in with its beautiful center ring and crisp geometry. My finished square actually turned out great, but it took more effort than expected.

🧵 Notes & Materials

✂️ Don’t Forget Your Ends

You already know what I’m going to say: weave those ends in before you toss the square into your “done” pile. Especially with this center ring design, it helps to give it a little shaping and tug while you’re at it too.
