How to crochet a beautiful triangle shawl or wrap - Free crochet pattern

A few months back I got an email with an invitation to teach at the Crochet Summit organised by Rebecca Page. After giving it some thought I decided I wanted to share a triangle shawl / wrap pattern with you! With combination of color and texture in interesting ways this shawl pattern keeps it interesting row after row.

My class on the Crochet Summit was live on Friday the 9th of April 2021. The Crochet Summit 2021 is still accessible with an VIP all access pass where you can see all the classes for the summit for 365 days.

About

The triangle scarf is worked from the centre out beginning with a magic circle. It can be made using any fibre of choice to match the current season. The wrap in the picture is made using alpaca but it would also work great in wool or cotton.

Gauge is not as important as for a garment. You can easily make it larger by adding more rows and smaller by skipping rows.

This pattern is written using US terminology.

Chains do not count as stitches, except for Ch 2 in the beginning of the row which counts as 1 hdc.

Only change color when implied to do so. Most of the rows uses color 1 and if not mentioned, assume it is color 1 to use.

Gauge (10x10cm / 4x4”): 16 hdc across 14 rows of hdc

Ch - Chain
St(s) - Stitch(es)
Dc - Double Crochet
Hdc - Half Double Crochet
V-st - V-stitch
Sk - Skip
Sl st - Slip stitch
Yo - Yarn over

Stitches

V-stitch (V-st)

Is made in the ch 1 space from previous row. 1 hdc, ch 1, hdc in the same stitch as first hdc (2sts).

Alternating color 1 (c1) and color 2 (c2)

When alternating c1 and c2 you begin the stitch with one of the colors and before you pull through the 3 loops on the hook in the end of the hdc you do that with the second color.

Make sure that the color not currently in use lies in the middle of you stitch so that you crochet around it and carry it with you inside the row.
