Crocheted Triangle Shawl by Susan Mills Knits
What Is Being Made
This is a versatile crocheted triangle shawl designed by Susan Mills and published through Classic Elite Yarns. The finished piece functions as both a shawl and a scarf, offering flexibility in how it can be worn and styled. The sample shown measures approximately 56 inches wide across the top and 28 inches deep at the center point, though the pattern is customizable to any size you prefer.
Construction Method and Design Approach
The Crocheted Triangle is worked from the center top outward, a construction technique that creates a naturally expanding triangular shape as you progress through the pattern. This center-out approach allows for easy customization—you can simply stop working when your shawl reaches your desired dimensions rather than having to calculate exact yardage requirements in advance.
Skill Level and Suitability
This pattern is rated as intermediate or ambitious beginner level, making it accessible to crafters who have some foundational crochet experience but are ready to tackle a larger, more involved project. The pattern encourages creative color work, as notes in the instructions reference changing colors throughout the piece.
Crochet Stitches and Techniques
While the specific stitch pattern details are not fully visible in the provided content, the project employs standard crochet stitches appropriate for creating an open, lacy triangular shawl. The pattern supports flexible gauge work, meaning exact gauge matching is not crucial to the success of the finished piece—a forgiving quality that makes this design beginner-friendly.
