Rhombs pattern: the quantity of sts is multiple 28 _ sts before pattern repeat A and C + initial and final sts. Work due to the scheme. Start every row with 3 chain sts increase instead of the 1st double crochet and sts before pattern repeat A, pattern repeat A, B and C, finish with sts after pattern repeat C.
