Step 1: Create a chain
To start, chain with a number of stitches that is divisible by 3. For example, you could start with a chain of 30 stitches.
Step 2: Create a triangle shape
In the second row, make a single crochet (sc) in the second stitch of the chain and in each stitch along the chain. In the last chain, make 2 sc. Then turn your work and crochet 1 sc in the first stitch and in each stitch throughout the work.
Keep repeating this sequence until you’ve created a triangular shape. The number of rows you will need will depend on the size of diamond you want to make. For a bigger diamond, you’ll need more rows.
Step 3: Create a diamond shape
When you have your triangle shape, start creating the rhombus shape of the diamond. To do this, crochet 1 sc in the first stitch and the next 2 stitches. Then make a decrease (dec) and make 1 sc in each of the next 4 stitches. Make another dec and crochet 1 sc in each of the next 4 stitches. Keep repeating this sequence until you’ve reached the top of the diamond.
Step 4: Finish the Diamond
When you get to the top of the diamond crochet 1 sc in each stitch until you reach the first stitch in the row. Then make a decrease and make 1 sc in each of the next 2 stitches. Make another dec and crochet 1 sc in each of the next 2 stitches. Keep repeating this sequence until you have completed the last row. When finished, cut the yarn and leave a tail of approximately 15 cm.

Step 5: Finish the finish
Using a tapestry needle, sew the end of the thread along the opposite side of the diamond. Then sew the two ends together to form the diamond. Be sure to sew carefully so the seams are smooth and wrinkle-free. When finished, tie and cut the thread.
