Learn to crochet the pretty Diamond Trellis Stitch by following along with my step-by-step photo tutorial below!

There’s also a VIDEO tutorial for this pattern!

The Diamond Trellis Stitch pink yarn close-up

The crochet diamond trellis stitch has a beautiful raised texture, achieved in part by working front post double crochet stitches throughout the pattern.

The lacy look is extremely attractive and it will suit many crochet projects such as blankets, shawls, scarves and cushions, to name a few.

CROCHET A BABY BLANKET

If you would like to make a baby blanket from this stitch, check out my free crochet pattern for the Bonnie Blanket on the blog.

By mastering the stitch tutorial here first, I’m sure that you’ll be able to go on and tackle the Bonnie Blanket with no problem whatsoever.

Let’s get to it now and find out how to create this gorgeous stitch.

LEVEL

Easy – Intermediate (see details of project levels at the Craft Yarn Council).

SUPPLIES
  • Yarn: #3, light worsted / DK / 8 ply. I used a small amount of Paintbox Yarns Baby DK from 1 ball
  • Hook: Size 7 (4.5mm)
SIZE OF SWATCH

Width – 6.25 inches

Length – 5 inches

STITCHES AND ABBREVIATIONS (US CROCHET TERMS)

beg – beginning

ch(s) – chain(s)

dc – double crochet: Yarn over (yo), insert hook into stitch, yo, pull up a loop, 3 loops remaining on hook. Yo, pull through 2 loops, 2 loops remaining on hook. Yo, pull through remaining 2 loops. 1 double crochet completed.

sk – skip: Do not crochet into these stitches.

sp – space

st(s) – stitch(es)

* to * – Repeat instructions between asterisks as many times as directed.

( ) – Sets of stitches to be worked within one stitch or space.

[ ] – The total number of stitches at the end of a row.

SPECIAL STITCHES

FPdc – front post double crochet: Yarn over (yo), insert hook from front to back to front around the post of the next stitch, yo, pull up a loop, 3 loops remaining on hook. Yo, pull up a loop and pull through 2 loops on hook, 2 loops remaining on hook. Yo, pull up a loop and pull through remaining 2 loops on hook. 1 FPdc completed. See my FPdc Tutorial for helpful step-by-step photos.

V stitch: (1dc, ch3, 1dc) worked in the same stitch

Shell stitch: 5dc in ch3 sp

PATTERN NOTES
  • Written in US crochet terms.
  • 4-row pattern repeat.
  • The pattern uses a multiple of 8 + 5 (add an extra 2 for the foundation chain). For this particular swatch I chained a total of 31 (I chained 24, which is divisible by 8, then I added an extra 5 stitches. I chained a further 2 stitches for the foundation chain).
  • The ch2 made at the beginning of each row counts as the first dc in the row.
  • At the end of rows, your last stitch should be worked into the top of the ch2 from the previous row.
  • Odd numbered rows are right side rows; even numbered rows are wrong side rows.
  • Turn at the end of rows.
  • I have provided full written instructions for each row. These are then followed by photos for greater clarification.
  • In most of the photos below, I show you what your work should look like after you have finished crocheting that particular part of the pattern.
