🧩 Triangle Motif – With Chart Explanation
🔰 Chart Overview:
The chart shows a symmetrical triangle built from the center out, with increases at three corners on every round. It uses:
- Double crochets (dc) for most of the work
- Chains (ch) to create corner spaces and shaping
- A magic ring to begin in the center
🔹 Foundation Round (Center of Triangle)
Start with a magic ring:
- (Ch 3, dc, ch 2) – first triangle corner
- (2 dc, ch 2) – repeat two more times
- Slip stitch to top of ch-3 to close round
🧮 You now have:
- 3 sets of 2 dc
- 3 ch-2 corner spaces
These form the triangle’s three corners.
🔹 Round 2
In each ch-2 corner space:
- Work (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc)
Between corners: - 1 dc in each dc from the previous round
🧮 This expands each side and maintains the triangle shape.
🔹 Round 3 and Beyond
Keep working in the same pattern:
- In each corner: (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc)
- In side stitches: 1 dc in each dc
Every round adds 4 stitches per side (2 on each side of the corner).
🔺 Triangle Growth Chart Breakdown (visually mapped):
Here’s how each round builds out, referencing the chart:
| Round | Corner (Each) | Side Between Corners | Total DC per Side |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2 dc, ch 2 (x3) | None | 2 |
| 2 | (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) | 2 dc | 6 |
| 3 | (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) | 6 dc | 10 |
| 4 | (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) | 10 dc | 14 |
| 5 | … | 14 dc | 18 |
🔁 Keep repeating until the triangle reaches your desired size.
🧶 Final Notes:
This method ensures perfect symmetry for modular assembly into blankets or shawls.
Each corner space should always be a ch-2.
Always work (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) into each corner space.
📏 Blocking Tips
Steam or wet block each triangle before joining to ensure clean edges and uniform size. Use pins to shape the triangles precisely.
🛠 Example Usage:
These triangle motifs can be:
- Whip stitched together to form a honeycomb blanket
- Used as building blocks for bags or wraps
- Made in contrasting colors for a 3D effect
🎨 Customization Ideas
- Use gradient or ombre yarn for a color-fade effect.
- Make a cushion cover, wall hanging, or table runner using the same triangle motif.
- Vary the yarn weight and hook size for different textures.
🧼 Care Tips
- Hand wash gently in cold water.
- Lay flat to dry.
- Avoid wringing or tumble drying to maintain shape.
