Pattern Overview

The pattern for this triangle shawl is worked in rows, starting from the bottom point and gradually increasing to the longest sides. Each row consists of double crochet stitches and chain spaces. Once you understand the basic pattern, it's easy to repeat and create the desired length for your shawl. Now, let's begin by working row 1.

Row 1: Starting the Shawl

To start, create a slip knot and chain 5. In the fifth chain from your hook, work 1 double crochet. The chain 4 at the beginning also counts as a double crochet and a chain 1 space. Chain 1 and double crochet back into the same chain. This completes row 1, and you should have 3 double crochet stitches and 2 chain 1 spaces.

Row 2: Increasing the Shawl

For row 2, chain 4 and turn your work. Double crochet into the first stitch (which is the base of your chain 4). The chain 4 again counts as a double crochet and a chain 1 space. Chain 1 and double crochet into the next double crochet stitch. Repeat this pattern across the row and end with a double crochet in the third chain of the starting chain 4. By the end of row 2, you should have 5 double crochet stitches and 4 chain 1 spaces.

Rows 3-61: Repeating the Pattern

From row 3 onwards, you will repeat the pattern established in row 2. Each row will consist of double crochet stitches and chain spaces. Continue repeating the pattern until you have completed 61 rows. The long edge of your shawl should reach approximately 64-65 inches.

Finishing the Body of the Shawl

Once you have completed 61 rows and achieved the desired length for your shawl, it's time to finish the body. At the end of row 61, chain 1 and turn your work. There's no need to fasten off as we will move on to working the edging.

Working the Edging

To begin the edging, work a half double crochet into each stitch and chain space along the long edge of the shawl. This will create a neat and finished look. When you reach the corner stitch, work 3 half double crochets to turn the corner and continue working along the next side. Repeat this process for all sides of the shawl.

Completing the Shawl

After working the edging, fasten off and weave in any loose ends. Your easy triangle shawl is complete! Admire your beautiful creation and don't forget to share it on social media by tagging us. We hope you enjoyed this tutorial and that your shawl keeps you cozy and stylish. Happy crocheting!
