Solid Triangles

Solid Triangles Crochet Pattern by Lullaby Lodge

What is Being Made

Solid Triangles is a crochet pattern designed by Lullaby Lodge that creates individual triangle motifs measuring approximately 4.5 inches (12cm) along the straight edge. These versatile triangular shapes are intended for multiple creative applications including bunting, blankets, and various other crochet projects. The modular design allows crafters to create multiple triangles and combine them into larger finished pieces.

Craft and Technique

This is a crochet project classified as beginner level, making it suitable for those new to crochet or looking for a straightforward, confidence-building pattern. The pattern uses fundamental crochet techniques that form the foundation of the craft. The construction begins with a simple foundation chain that is joined into a ring, establishing the base from which the triangle develops. The pattern employs a repeating round structure, allowing crafters to expand the triangle size by repeating the third round as many times as needed to achieve their desired finished dimensions.

Stitches Used

The Solid Triangles pattern utilizes essential crochet stitches that are fundamental to beginner-level projects:

• Chain (Ch) – used to create the foundation and spacing throughout the pattern
• Double Crochet (dc) – listed in US terms; known as treble crochet in UK terminology, this stitch forms the primary structure of each triangle
• Slip Stitch (sl st) – used to join rounds and create a seamless circular foundation

The pattern also references chain spaces (sp), which are the gaps created between stitches that add texture and structure to the finished triangles.

Materials and Tools

The Solid Triangles pattern calls for Aran / Worsted weight yarn, with approximately 6 grams of yarn required per completed 3-round triangle. The designer used cotton aran and worsted yarn from her personal stash, specifically mentioning Drops Paris and Scheepjes Cahlista as examples of suitable yarns. A 5mm (H) size crochet hook is recommended for the specified yarn weight. However, the pattern notes that crafters may substitute any yarn of their choice, provided they select an appropriate hook size as indicated on the yarn ball band. Gauge is noted as not essential for this particular project, reducing pressure on achieving precise tension.

Pattern Notes

The Solid Triangles pattern is flexible in terms of finished size. While the base pattern creates triangles approximately 4.5 inches along the straight edge, crafters can enlarge their triangles by simply repeating round 3 as many times as desired before finishing. This scalability makes the pattern adaptable to various project requirements, whether creating small bunting triangles or larger blanket components. The beginner-friendly structure and forgiving gauge requirements make this an accessible pattern for crocheters of varying experience levels.
