How to Make a Triad Triangle Shell

Crocheting is a popular and relaxing hobby that allows you to create beautiful and intricate designs using yarn and a crochet hook. In this tutorial, I will show you how to make a triad triangle shell using a simple crochet pattern. This pattern consists of a series of triangles that are stitched together to form a unique and versatile shell. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced crocheter, you can easily follow along and create your own triad triangle shell.

Materials Needed

Before we get started, gather the following materials:

• Yarn: Use a weight three fine yarn in your preferred color.
• Crochet Hook: You'll need a J hook, which is approximately 6 millimeters in size.
• Scissors: To trim the yarn as needed.
• Tapestry Needle: For weaving in the loose ends.
• Stitch Markers: Optional, but helpful for keeping track of your stitches.

Now that you have your materials ready, let's begin creating the triad triangle shell.

Step 1: Creating the Slip Knot

To start, create a slip knot at the end of your yarn. This will serve as your starting point for crocheting. Simply make a loop with the yarn and pull the end through the loop, tightening it to form a secure knot.

Step 2: Making the Triangles

The triad triangle shell consists of a series of triangles that are stitched together to create a unique pattern. To create the triangles, follow these steps:

4.1 Starting the Triangles

Begin by chaining six stitches. This will serve as the foundation for your first triangle. Single crochet in the fourth chain from the hook. Insert your hook, yarn over, and pull the loop through, creating two loops on your hook. Yarn over again and pull the loop through both loops, completing the single crochet stitch. Place a stitch marker on the right side of your first stitch in the chain space.

4.2 Creating the Increase Rows

To switch to the next row and increase the number of triangles, make five extra chains, resulting in a total of eleven chains. This will create a slightly longer foundation for your next row. Repeat the same steps as before, crocheting a double crochet in the next chain and a treble crochet in the following chain. This will form your first triangle.

Continue this pattern of increasing the number of triangles in each row by following the same steps. Place a stitch marker on the right side of the first and last triangles of each row to help you keep track of your progress.

4.3 Continuing with Even Rows

For each even row, continue chaining six stitches, single crocheting in the fourth chain from the hook, and creating additional triangles by crocheting a double crochet and a treble crochet in the next chains. Flip your work after completing each row and make a slip stitch in the chain space where the stitch marker was placed.

4.4 Decreasing in the Last Rows

After reaching the desired number of triangles, you'll start decreasing in the last rows to shape the triangle shell. Repeat rows 32 and 33 until row 59, with each row having the same number of triangles as the previous row.

For row 60, or the last row, chain eleven stitches and create a triangle in each triangle from the previous row. Flip your work and make a slip stitch in the first and last triangles to finish the row.

Step 3: Finishing the Project

Once you've completed the last row, cut the yarn, fasten off, and weave in any loose ends using a tapestry needle. Your triad triangle shell is now complete and ready to be used or displayed. This versatile crochet piece can be used as a decorative element, a table centerpiece, or even a cozy blanket.

• Use stitch markers to help keep track of your stitches and rows.
• Experiment with different yarn colors to create unique patterns and designs.
