Crochet Triangle Shawl Free Pattern + Video

Unlike with my children, I definitely play favorites with my makes and this triangle shawl scarf is pretty darn near the very top of my list!

It’s delicate, cozy, adds just enough warmth as a wrap in spring, and makes the perfect scarf companion to a coat in winter. It has also become my daughter’s favorite scarf to steal from my closet and her go to finishing touch to all her blanket forts.

I figured it was about time I make her own triangle scarf… and why not make a video tutorial while I’m at it! You know, feed two birds with one scone.

I even had a little hiccup in filming, so I had to film the beginning twice which left me with a teeny tiny scarf that was the perfect size for her teddy bear. Can you handle the cuteness?

That is what I love about this pattern though. Regardless of what size you are making, you start it the same exact way. Then you add as many rows as you want until it’s the size you want.

MATERIALS

• K/10.5 or 6.5 mm hook
• Yarn needle and scissors
• About 650 yards of Category 3/DK weight for the adult size*

*I used Loops & Threads Snuggly Wuggly acrylic yarn in soft gray. It washes up great, doesn’t pill, and is surprisingly durable. My scarf has had seen a lot of love for almost a year and you can’t see hardly any difference between it and my daughter’s newer scarf.

ABBREVIATIONS

• ch = chain
• dc = double crochet

GAUGE

4 x 4 inch square = 11 dc x 6 rows

VIDEO TUTORIAL

ROW CHART

As I mentioned in the video, after the first few rows, the pattern rotates between three repeating stitch styles. I have created a printable chart to illustrate that below. It also tells you when to work in the third loops from the front or the back and gives you a quick glance of the stitch counts for each row.

You can print it up and highlight each row as you go to take out any guesswork.

Note: I have improved upon the original pattern a little bit, so there is less pressure on one chain and so the corners are more even.
