Crochet Flower Triangle Shawl
The Crochet Flower Triangle Shawl is more than just a piece of clothing. It's a celebration of craftsmanship and the joy of making something with your own two hands.
Creating the Base of the Shawl:
- Begin with a slip knot.
- Chain (ch) six and connect the chain into a circle with a slip stitch into the first chain.
- Ch three (this counts as a double crochet [dc]).
- Inside the ring, make two more dc.
- Ch two, and then add three dc into the ring.
- Repeat the process of ch two and three more dc into the ring.
Advancing the Shawl:
- The pattern begins with a ch three, then turn your work.
- In the ch two space, make three dc, ch two, and three more dc. This creates the triangular shape.
- Turn your work and repeat the steps in the ch two space, building up the rows.
Creating the Puff Stitch Flowers:
- After completing the border, you create your first flower by chaining two, then making a dc.
- For the puff stitch, pull up yarn, yarn over, insert your hook into the specified loops and pull through four times to create one petal.
- Create four such petals.
- After the petals, secure with a ch one, then create a normal dc on top of a previous dc to transition back to creating the base pattern.
- Continue with the border by adding groups of three dc in the ch two spaces and then adding a dc on top of the previous round's dc.
Completing the Shawl:
- Keep building the pattern out with additional rows of puff stitch flowers interspersed with the triangle mesh design.
- The video guides through several rounds, which you would continue until the shawl reaches the desired size.
- Finish off the final round neatly, ensuring all the stitches are consistent and secured.
- Weave in any loose ends from the tail created at the beginning.
Additional Notes:
- Make sure every new flower set starts off with a dc then a ch one before beginning the puff stitches.
- To maintain the triangle shape, ensure you are adding the border pattern (three dc, ch two, three dc) at the beginning and end of every row.
- The pattern is a repeat, so once you've got the hang of the initial flowers and border setups, continue the pattern for the size of the shawl you desire.
