Cozy up with this easy Diamond Ridge Throw Blanket Free Crochet Pattern. This throw crochets up with a section of front post ridges followed by a section of bobble diamonds. You then repeat those sections a few times, allowing you to get into a relaxing flow that has enough going on to keep your interest. And you can take that to the bank, because it’s coming from someone who gets bored super easily and has a hard time committing to big crochet projects (like blankets)! The final result is comfortingly cozy and beautiful to display!
I’ve been keeping my eye on this gorgeous Hue + Me Yarn by Lion Brand because I’m obsessed with all the soft colors. The colors just make me feel all zen and cozy when I look at them so it felt perfect to make a blanket out of one of them. They recently added to the color pallet as well, so I guess I’ll have to come up with another excuse to try out more of them! For the Diamond Ridge Throw Blanket Free Crochet Pattern, I landed on Agave, but any of the lovely colors (or a combination of them) will turn out beautifully when making this throw. Major bonus – this yarn is washable + dryable!
WIN-WIN-WIN!

Size:
This blanket turns out to be approximately 42″ x 40″. It’s a great size to cozy up under – definitely bigger than a lap blanket! Also, don’t worry about gauge. I’m definitely of the belief that gauge doesn’t always matter – and blankets are one of those times. Just find the tension that feels good and let it flow!

The Pattern
Blanket notes:
- This pattern uses three “special” stitches – front post single crochet (fpsc), front post double crochet (fpdc) and the double crochet bobble stitch (DcBo). I include detailed instructions for each of these stitches in the ad-free printable version of the pattern that can be accessed through the resources library here
- The turning chain always counts as a stitch, so don’t forget to make a stitch into the top of the double crochet turning chain as you go along
- Turn your work at the end of each row (For clarity, I mention the number of chains in your turning chain for each row since we’re alternating between sc and dc rows, but I don’t explicitly say “turn” on each row… but do it!)
- The bobbles and the ridges should always be raised on the same side as each other

Border:
Continuing straight away, down the left side of the throw, make a border of single crochet, placing 1 single crochet in the end of each of the single crochet rows (for example, rows 2, 4, 6, 7 & 8) and placing 2 single crochets into the ends of each of the double crochet rows. Place 2 single crochets into each corner of the blanket, before proceeding down the next side, to prevent curling corners. Repeat all the way around, creating a border.
Fasten off. Weave in ends.
