Shell = 3 double crochet in space indicated.
Corner = Shell, chain 2, shell in Chain-2 space.
Directions:
Chain 4.
Slip stitch in first chain to form a circle.
ROUND 1- Chain 3, make 3 double crochet in the ring, chain 2, then four more double crochet. CHAIN 3 and turn.
ROUND 2- Make 3 double crochet IN BETWEEN the first and second double crochet of the previous row. Skip three double crochet, work in your chain 2 space the following: (Shell, chain 2, Shell), SKIP NEXT 3 double crochet, make 4 double crochet in the space BETWEEN the 3rd AND 4TH double crochet. Chain 3 and turn.
[Add a shell right
where the pen is, between the 1st and 2nd
double crochet.]
ROUND 3- Make 3 double crochet in space between first and second stitches,
skip 3 double crochet, make a shell in the space between double crochets,
skip 3 more double crochet, and work in your Chain-2 space the following: (Shell,
chain 2, Shell). Skip next 3 double crochet, shell in space between double
crochet,, skip next 3 double crochet, shell + 1 double crochet in same
space. Chain 3 and turn.
ROUND 4- Skipping 1st double crochet, shell in space between double
crochets. Work (*skip next shell, make shell in next space between shells*)
until you reach the Chain-2 space, then repeat from * to * until you get
to the lastshell+1 group. Skip first 3 double crochet, then shell in between
this and the last double crochet. Skip next 3 double crochet, shell +
1 double crochet in same space. Chain 3 and turn.
You will now notice a pattern forming, where the
beginning of each round starts with a group of 4 double crochet, and you
make your familiar groups of 3 dc as in a basic granny square.
Continue working in established pattern until you
finish the triangle you want. You can make a shawl if you use about 14
ounces of worsted weight yarn, including fringe. Or make a pretty edge
to it. Anyway, you now know how to make a granny triangle! :o)
