1. Materials Needed
- Yarn: Use any yarn type, depending on your preference. The video uses DK (double knit) cotton yarn for demonstration.
- Hook: 4mm crochet hook.
- Optional: Stitch marker (for marking rows when needed).
Step-by-Step Details
2. Starting the Shawl – Base Row
- Create a slip knot and place it on the hook.
- Chain 4 (this forms the center circle). The 4th chain (the furthest from your hook) is the space where stitches will be worked.
- Work 3 treble crochets (UK) into the 4th chain (remember the 3 chains count as the first stitch).
- Chain 2 (this forms the center peak of the triangle).
- Work another 3 treble crochets into the same chain.
- Pull the tail to tighten the center, forming your triangle’s base row.
3. Building the Second Row
- Chain 3 (counts as the first stitch of the row) and turn your work.
- Work 2 treble crochets beneath the chain space. This completes the first cluster of 3.
- Move to the center chain space (from the previous row) and work:
- 3 treble crochets, then chain 2, then 3 treble crochets.
- Complete the row by working 3 treble crochets into the top of the chain-3 from the previous row.
4. Repeating Rows – Pattern Continuation
- Start each new row by chaining 3 and turning your work.
- Begin with 2 treble crochets into the space directly below the chain.
- Work groups of 3 treble crochets into each space along the row, until reaching the center chain space.
- In the center chain space, always work:
- 3 treble crochets, chain 2, and 3 treble crochets (this creates the peak of the triangle).
- Finish the row by working 3 treble crochets into the top of the chain-3 from the previous row.
5. Adding New Rows (Optional Stitch Marker Tip)
To make locating the final top chain stitch easier, you can insert a stitch marker into the chain-3 at the beginning of each row. This ensures smooth progress during finishing steps.
6. Changing Colors (Optional)
- After completing a row, cut the working yarn and pull it through to secure.
- Add a new yarn color:
- Create a slip knot and place it on the hook.
- Yarn over as if working a treble crochet. Insert the hook into the top stitch of the last cluster from the previous row, attach the yarn, and pull through loops.
- Continue the row as usual, working 3 treble crochets into each space and forming peaks at the center.
Conclusion
The Granny Triangle Shawl pattern is ideal for cozy evenings or relaxing crocheting sessions. With its repetitive nature, it’s a perfect project for multitasking while watching TV or unwinding after a busy day. You can customize the shawl with different yarn weights and color combinations to make it truly unique and personal.
