Free Triangle Scarf Pattern

I've been meaning to create a blog and update it for a while, and lets be honest, blogging seems like a gigantic task if you're a Pinterest addict like I am. Reading and looking at other blogs can make it feel like youre a mouse about to begin a marathon, but I am determined to give it a go!
As I am a HUGE fan of jumping in the deep end, I have decided that as well as starting this blog, I am going to publish my first crochet pattern at the same time. EEK!
This pattern is my version of a basic triangle granny shawl / scarf that any newcomer to crochet can complete, and I am hoping that I can inspire you and get you as hooked on hooking as this hooker *points at self*. I had a ball of Caron Cakes in my stash that I had no idea what to do with, so this seemed a perfect way to use it up. As it is self-striping, I didn't have to worry about colour combinations and worry about when to end and begin a new colour. It's been quite blissful to be perfectly honest.
I'm in the UK, and up until recently, we had no access to the glory of Caron Cakes unless you wanted or had the means to pay extortionate amounts to get them imported from the US, and being Mum to one with another on the way, money is very tight!
There is no set gauge for this pattern, you can use any yarn, and hook size, and I feel it would be an ideal stash busting project for all those little balls of yarn that have no use. I mean, what do they think they're doing? Just sat in my stash box looking all lonely.
For this tutorial, I had some James C Brett Party Time Chunky lying about, so grabbed it for these images and I HAVE to make a shawl from this once I have finished the Caron one above.
If you would like the pattern without the images, please feel free to scroll down to the bottom of this post for a shorter version.
Abbreviations:
ch. Chain
dc. Double Crochet
rpt. Repeat
mr. Magic Ring
sl st. Slip Stitch
Notes:
First ch2 counts as first dc
Although I am in the UK, I use US terms as this is how I learnt. It should be pretty easy to change it to UK terms though.
Materials:
James C Brett Party Time chunky in PT4
6mm crochet hook (or whichever size your yarn dictates)
Darning needle
Scissors
Row 1: Make a magic ring as shown below
A) Wrap the yarn around your fingers twice, holding the tail in place
B) Insert your hook into the first loop on your fingers, catching the yarn connected to the ball with your hook, pulling the yarn through.
C) Create a single crochet to secure the yarn in a loop.
D) Remove y0ur fingers from the loop and you have created your magic ring! I'll be the first to admit, these suckers are a nightmare to get right, so I recommend practice. If the magic ring isn't for you, then you can replace it with 5 chains with a join to the first chain. As long as you have a loop, you can make this shawl.
Chain three, create 2 dc into the loop, chain 2, then 3 dc into the loop.
Chain 2 then turn.
Row 2: Make 2dc in the first stitch of the previous row.
Then 3dc in the next chain space, ch2, 3dc in the same chain space, then 3dc in the last chain space.
This pattern is then repeated for as big as you would like your triangle to be.
So next, we would ch2, 2dc into the first stitch, 3dc in the chain space, 3dc in the middle chain space, ch2, 3dc in the same chain space, 3dc in the next chain space, 3dc in the final chain space.
As long as you make chains of two at the start and in the middle, your triangle will keep its gorgeous shape.
And here is the pattern without the images:
Row 1: Mr, ch3, (2dc, ch2, 3dc), ch2, turn
Row 2: 2dc in 1st st, (3dc, ch2, 3dc) in next ch sp, 3dc in last ch sp, ch2, turn
Row 3: 2dc in 1st st, 3dc in next ch sp, (3dc, ch2, 3dc) in next ch sp, 3dc in next ch sp, 3dc in next ch sp, ch2, turn.
Repeat until your triangle is the desired length and width.
I hope this pattern is detailed and clear enough for you to follow, please let me know if any of it doesn't make sense. I feel I have made a good attempt for a first timer!
Have a lovely week my fellow hookers,
Ker
