• Scissors: You also will need scissors to cut your yarn.
• Tapestry Needle: This is for weaving in loose ends.
• Measuring Tape: It measures the size of your triangle.

Basic Triangle Crochet Skills

The basic techniques used to crochet a triangle are in the design. Knowing how to do increases and decreases, turning chains, and slip stitches will help you have smooth edges and a well-formed overall triangle crochet project.

• Increments: Increase stitches in certain segments to scale up the triangle’s shape so it can grow evenly. Two common methods are to do two stitches in one space and to make stitches in the edges of rows.
• Decreases: Decreases will strategically cinch the triangle up and shape its edges. These techniques involve skipping stitches, working two stitches together, or using an invisible reduction for a cleaner finish.
• Turning Chains: These chains create height at the new rows, making the stitches even. Depending on your stitch type—single, half-double, double crochet—different numbers of chains help you keep the right shape of your work while closing the edges without making them crooked.
• Slip Stitch: This is a basic stitch for connecting yarn, traversing stitches, or finishing edges cleanly. It holds work without building height, which is crucial for crisp transitions and clean details.

Once you’ve mastered these techniques, you can create everything from decorative motifs to larger triangular pieces for shawls, blankets, or embellishments.

How to Crochet a Triangle in Stitch?

A simple crochet triangle is a step-by-step process using basic stitches. Beginning with a slip knot and foundation chain and consistently increasing stitches in every row, you end up with a nicely shaped triangle. Here is how to crochet a triangle pattern:

Step 1: Make a Slip Knot

This is done by creating a loop with the yarn. Pull the working yarn through to make a knot. Make the loop big enough to slide snugly over your crochet hook but not so big that it won’t hold its shape. This knot will keep the yarn on the hook and create an easier starting place for your triangle.

Step 2: Make a Foundation Chain

Do two chains with your crochet hook. The brief base forms the foundation of the triangle. While the number of chains establishes the base width, covering about two chains is the method that creates a tightly controlled start that lets you easily add stitches as you progress to later rows.

Step 3: Row 1

Insert the hook into the 2nd chain from the hook and make two single crochets in that stitch. This part begins the triangle shape with an increasing stitch count. If you do your turning at the end of your work, you have to work the next row the right way.

Step 4: Row 2

If you need the height for the next row, chain one. Sc across row, 2sc in the last stitch of the row. This Increase also enlarges the triangle. The turn of your work keeps the stitches aligned as you proceed.

Step 5: Repeat the Pattern

You keep chaining one at the beginning of each row, single crocheting all the way across, and adding two single crochet in the last stitch. Repetition of this boost slowly opens the triangle. Repeat this process, working to the triangle point to the size you are comfortable with (e.g., 8-10 inches), always checking that the sides are straight and the triangle is symmetrical.
