What I love about the crochet granny diamond blanket is the ‘X’ at the center that splits the whole blanket into four triangle with the granny diamond stitch looking like a pyramid. The crochet granny diamond blanket looks great in all colour combinations. The Crochet Granny Diamond Sweater is no exemption.
