This diamond lace crochet shawl had a very simple working name. I called it Diamond Shawl, because diamonds are what it’s all about.
In Part 1 you built the first diamonds from solid double crochet. Then Row 18 opened them up with long ch-10 loops.
Part 2 is where the lace really grows. Row 22 closes those first lace motifs. After that, the same five rows come back again, a little wider every time.
I love the drape of this shawl, and the lace rows in this part are a big reason why. To make Part 2 easy, Rows 18 to 21 are written out here again, so you don’t have to flip back.

Where Part 2 of the diamond lace crochet shawl picks up
Quick check before you start. Do you have 47 stitches on each side of the corner after Row 21?
If yes, you’re ready. Part 2 starts right on top of the little single crochet groups from the end of Part 1.
If your count is off, fix it now. Lace hides a lot, but it won’t hide a missing stitch for 15 more rows.
Row 22 is the only new row
Everything else in this part is a repeat. Row 22 is the one row you haven’t seen yet.
Here you fill each lace opening. You work 4 dc into a ch-5 space, a dc into each of the 5 sc, then 4 dc into the next ch-5 space.
The open lace turns back into a solid block of double crochet. That block becomes part of the next diamond.
How the repeats work
From here on, the pattern almost runs on autopilot.
Rows 23 to 32 repeat Rows 18 to 22 two more times. Rows 33 to 36 repeat Rows 18 to 21 once more. So Part 2 ends with the lace wide open, ready for Part 3.
Each repeat is wider than the last. After Row 22 you have 78 stitches on each side of the corner. After Row 32 you have 114.
Tips for counting your diamond lace crochet shawl
Long lace rows love to eat stitches. A few habits keep yours safe.
Count each side of the corner on its own. The edge treble counts as a stitch, but chain spaces don’t. That’s why your count drops in Rows 19 to 21, and jumps back up in Row 22.
Move the marker into the new corner ch-5 space on every row. If you use the PDF, there’s a stitch tracker too. You tick a box after every row, and it tells you which written row to work.

Diamond lace crochet shawl FAQ
Do I need Part 1 before I start Part 2?
Yes. Part 2 starts on top of Row 21, so make Part 1 first. You’ll find Rows 18 to 21 here as well, because Part 2 repeats them.
Why does my diamond lace crochet shawl lose stitches in Rows 19 to 21?
Chain spaces don’t count as stitches. The lace rows use long chains, so the count goes down. Row 22 fills those spaces with double crochet, and the count jumps back up.
Where can I find Parts 3 and 4?
They’re free on the blog too. Go to Part 3 and then Part 4, or get the complete ad-free PDF with all the charts in one file.
