🧵 How to Crochet the Diamond Waffle Stitch – Step-by-Step

🔸 Foundation Row

▪️ Start with a chain in multiples of 4 + 3 extra chains.

▪️ Add 1 additional chain to begin the first row.

▪️ Work SC across the row.

▪️ Chain 1 and turn.

🔸 Row 1: Double Crochet Row

▪️ Work DC stitches across the entire row.

▪️ Chain 1 and turn.

🔸 Row 2: Begin Diamond Texture

▪️ SC into the first stitch.

▪️ FPTR: Skip 3 SC from the foundation row, then yarn over twice and insert your hook into the 4th stitch of that row. Pull through and complete the treble crochet.

▪️ Insert it into the stitch, yarn over again, and pull through. Then, complete the front post treble crochet. 

▪️ Skip 1 stitch, SC into next, then work 2 more SC.

▪️ FPTR again: Insert your hook into the same stitch as the previous FPTR. Don’t finish it yet.(leave 2 loops on your hook).

▪️ Start another FPTR: Skip 3 SC of the first row and insert into the 4th stitch. Now you’ll have 5 loops on your hook.

▪️ Complete as usual. When 3 loops are left, skip 1 stitch in the current row, SC into the next stitch, and pull through all 3 loops.

▪️ Repeat this pattern across the row.

🔸 Row 3: DC Row

▪️ Chain 2, turn your work

▪️ DC across the row.

🔸 Row 4: Continue Diamond Pattern

▪️  Make 3 SC.

▪️ FPTR into the FPTR from the previous row (not into the SC of the foundation row anymore).

▪️ Keep repeating the same method—link FPTR stitches with those from the previous FPTR row.

▪️ This builds the Diamond texture as you go.
