Crochet Triangle Shawl
Materials:
- Sport Weight Yarn (approximately 400 yards total):
- 150 yards white
- 150 yards peach
- 100 yards cream
- Size G (4.0 mm) crochet hook
- Scissors
- Tapestry needle for weaving ends
Gauge:
Gauge is not critical for this project, but if you wish to achieve a similar look, aim for 16 dc x 8 rows = 4 inches square.
Abbreviations:
- ch = chain
- dc = double crochet
- sk = skip
- st = stitch
- sl st = slip stitch
Instructions:
This shawl is worked in rows, starting at the point and increasing to create a triangle shape.
- Start with a slip knot on your hook using the white yarn.
- Chain 4. Join with a sl st to form a ring.
- Row 1: Ch 3 (counts as first dc), then make 2 dc in the ring. Turn your work.
- Row 2: Ch 3, 2 dc in the same st as the ch 3, then 1 dc in the next 2 sts (you will have 5 dc at the end of this row). Turn your work.
- Row 3: Ch 3, *2 dc in the next st, 1 dc in the next 3 sts* repeat from * to * once more. You should have 7 dc at the end of this row. Turn your work.
- Continue in this way, increasing 2 dc on every other row until you reach 50 dc (approximately Row 13), alternating colors:
- For Rows 4 & 5, use peach yarn.
- For Rows 6 to 9, use white yarn.
- For Rows 10 & 11, use cream yarn.
- Repeat alternating colors until reaching desired size.
- Once you reach the desired width, finish with 3 rows of white, adding a decorative scalloped edge:
- Row 1: Ch 1, sc in each st across. Turn.
- Row 2: Ch 3, *sk 1, 5 dc in next st (5-dc cluster), sk 1* across to end. Turn.
- Row 3: Repeat Row 1 for a clean edge. Fasten off and weave in all ends.
Finishing Tips:
- After weaving in the ends, gently block your shawl to shape it and enhance the pattern.
- Use a steam iron with caution or lay it flat and pin it in place until dry.
Optional Variations:
- Experiment with different color combinations as per your preference.
- Add fringe to the ends for a fun touch.
