Knit this diamond pattern afghan; a bright and colourful accessory which was designed by Amy Butler.
This striking diamond afghan brings together bold geometry and rich colorwork to create a modern heirloom blanket with a handcrafted feel. Worked in Belle Organic Aran, the design uses five harmonious shades that shift in sequence, giving each motif a layered, faceted look. The blanket is built from multiple shaped pieces—diamonds, large triangles, and small triangles—that are individually knitted and then joined into a dramatic patchwork layout. The shaping creates crisp angles and clean lines without complex stitches, making the project approachable for knitters who enjoy relaxing, rhythmic rows with purposeful construction. Once assembled, the borders frame the entire piece, giving the finished afghan a polished, architectural finish. The generous size makes it a standout throw for the living room or bedroom, and the color-blocked sections offer endless room for personal palette choices. This project is ideal for knitters who love modular knitting, enjoy playing with color, and want to create a statement blanket with texture, warmth, and visual impact.
