Wall Triangle

Wall Triangle
©2003 by Ambar E. Alcalá

Materials:

Any type of yarn or thread. Appropiate hook. I used worsted weight yarn and a size G hook. [I crochet very loosely.]

Special Note:
*This triangle is worked in rows from the bottom.
*All single crochets are worked in the front loop ONLY.

Instructions:

Chain 2.

Row 1- Single crochet in second chain from hook. Chain 1, TURN.

Row 2- Single crochet in second LOOP from hook {NOT the second stitch} . Single crochet in next stitch. Insert hook in the loop next to the single crochet you just made. (it's really the first chain of the foundation, which belongs to row 1), pull up a loop, chain 1, finish the Single crochet. Chain 1 and TURN.

Row 3&4- Single crochet in second LOOP from hook. Single crochet in every stitch. Insert hook in the back loop of last single crochet of previous row, pull up a loop, chain 1, finish your single crochet. Chain 1 and TURN.

Row 5- Single crochet in second LOOP from hook, *chain1, single crochet in next stitch*. Insert hook in the back loop of last single crochet of previous row,, pull up a loop, chain 1, finish your single crochet. Chain 1 and TURN.

Row 6- Single crochet in second loop from hook, single crochet in every stitch until you reach the end. Insert hook in the back loop of last single crochet of previous row,, pull up a loop, chain 1, finish your single crochet. Chain 1 and TURN.

Repeat rows 5 and 6 until triangle is the size you need. End with a row 6. This triangle is great for shawls and headkerchiefs.

Variation:

Crochet triangle inserting hooks under BOTH loops of stitches instead of the front loop.

Comments:

You're going to be increasing at the beginning and end of each row. The beauty of this method of increasing is that you do not stretch stitches by increasing with two stitches in the previous row's stitch, thereby making holes.
