Triangle Blanket Crochet Pattern
Welcome to Yarn Inspirations Patterns, where we transform beautiful yarns into cherished heirlooms. Today, Iโm excited to share with you a truly special project: the Triangle Blanket Crochet Pattern. This is not just a blanket; itโs a piece of art that youโll treasure for years to come. Whether youโre looking for a long-term project to enjoy during quiet moments or a meaningful gift to pass down through generations, this blanket is the perfect choice.
Why This Blanket is Special
This triangle blanket is designed with both simplicity and elegance in mind. While each triangle motif follows the same pattern, the variety of colors in the center of each triangle adds a vibrant, unique touch. This makes it an ideal project to pick up and put down whenever you have time, allowing you to savor the process.
I used my favorite silk blend yarn for this blanket, which adds a luxurious feel to the final piece. If you prefer to use a different yarn, I recommend sticking to something no thicker than a double knit (DK) to maintain the blanketโs delicate texture.
Techniques Used
This pattern incorporates a variety of crochet stitches to keep things interesting. Hereโs a quick rundown of the stitches and techniques youโll need:
- Stitches: Double Crochet (dc), Trebles (tr), Double Trebles (dtr), Triple Trebles (trtr)
- Special Techniques:
- dc/rf (raised double crochet round front): Insert the hook from the front, work 1 dc around the post of the stitch.
- 3trtrCL (3-triple treble cluster): This creates a lovely cluster effect that adds dimension to each motif.
