Triangle Crochet Shawl

I am so excited to share this incredibly easy pattern for a triangle crochet shawl that creates a beautiful, lightweight and reversible crochet shawl.

You can wear this crochet triangle shawl around your neck or around your shoulders. It’s a perfect lightweight shawl for summer nights or to wear indoors around your neck.

Crochet Triangle Shawl Pattern

The first few rows of this crochet triangle shawl pattern make the bottom tip of the triangle and then the rest of the pattern is made by repeating the exact same stitch which is a combination of single crochet, chain and double crochet stitches.

This stitch, which is similar to the blanket stitch, is one of my absolute favorite stitches. It’s the same stitch that is used in my Classic Baby Blanket, Easy Cowl and Easy Bandana patterns.

The pattern includes a row by row stitch count with measurements up until row 55, which for me, created a triangle shawl that was 60″ wide and 26″ high. But you can easily customize the size by making less or more rows.

Each row is increased by the one-stitch repeat (made up of 3 stitches), making it a perfectly even triangle. Both the front and the back of the shawl look exactly the same.

For this pattern, you can use any size 2 (fine) yarn. I used and highly recommend Cotton Fair, which is machine washable.

Crochet Shawl Pattern Details

Skill Level

Easy

Size

The pattern creates a triangle shall that is approx. 60ā€ wide and 26ā€ high.

Terminology

This pattern is written for right-handed crochet using standard US terminology. If you’re more familiar with UK terms, hereā€™s my US to UK Conversion Chart.

Gauge

4ā€ x 4ā€ = 15 sts and 9 rows (following the pattern. Only count stitches not chains)

Materials

Yarn: Approx. 632 yds of any size 2 (fine) yarn. I used 2 skeins* of Cotton Fair in the color Bright Peach. This yarn is 52% cotton and 48% acrylic (3.5 oz / 100 g and 317 yds / 290 m). *Note: I used all of the 2 skeins so if you want to be safe, get an extra skein. 

Crochet Hook: H/8 (5.00 mm) 

Other Materials: yarn needle, scissors and measuring tape. Optional: a 5ā€ object (a piece of thick cardboard, a notebook, etc.) to help you cut strands for the tassels. 

Abbreviations

  • ch = chain
  • st = stitch
  • sts = stitches 
  • sl st = slip stitch 
  • sc = single crochet
  • dc = double crochet 
  • ch-2 sp = chain-2 space

Pattern Notes

  • Always work into the 1st st, the st attached to the chain.
  • Chains never count as sts. 
  • Tip: make the tassels first (to ensure straight strands as the end of skeins can sometimes be curly).

Crochet Shawl Triangle

Tassels

You can use your favorite method for making and attaching tassels or follow these directions (the video tutorial for this pattern includes all of these steps).

Making Tassels

Make two tassels.

Take a 5ā€ object (such as a thick piece of cardboard, a notebook or a CD case). Leave a 3ā€ tail and wrap your yarn around the 5ā€ object 20 times. Cut the yarn leaving a 3ā€ tail. 

Cut a 16ā€ strand of yarn from your skein and slip it underneath all the strands of yarn. 

Shimmy it up to the top, with equal lengths on either side. Slide it and the wrapped yarn off the object. 

Tie the 16ā€ strand of yarn in a knot twice around the strands of yarn at the top. 

Cut a 20ā€ strand of yarn. Tie it around the strands of yarn, approx. 1ā€ from the top (with equal lengths on either side) and make two knots. Take one end of this 16ā€ strand and wrap it around the strands 3 times. Take the other end of the strand also also wrap it around the strands 3 times. Put this end in a yarn needle and feed it through the middle of the wrapped yarn. 

Cut through the loops and trim the ends so they are all the same length (I cut mine to be 3.75ā€). You can just use scissors or you can use painterā€™s tape, a cutting mat and rotary cutter to get perfectly straight ends (read more on how to cut your ends perfectly). 

Cutting fringe / tassels

Attaching Tassels

Attach each tassel to widest ends of shawl using the 16ā€ strand of yarn (at the top of the tassel). With your yarn needle, start at the ch-2 sp and weave into a few nearby stitches. Then weave back to the tassel and put your yarn completely through the tassel head. Go back into the shawl body and weave into a few more nearby stitches. Then weave back to the tassel and feed the end through the middle of the wrapped strands and pull all the way through. Trim the end to be the same length as the other tassel strands. Repeat for the other 16ā€ strand end.
