The Ultimate Granny Triangle Crochet Pattern
Granny Triangle Crochet Pattern
This granny triangle is a fun and versatile crochet motif that you can grow as big as you want by simply repeating rounds. It’s perfect for bunting, shawls, corner decorations, or even blankets if joined together. You’ll start with a traditional magic ring and grow the triangle by working in clusters of 3 dc (double crochets) separated by ch‑3 corners and ch‑1 spaces.

- Ch 3 – counts as 1 dc).
- Work 2 dc into the ring.
- Ch 3 (this is your corner).
- 3 dc into the ring, ch 3 → repeat 2 more times. You should have three 3‑dc clusters, each separated by ch‑3.
- Tighten the ring and sl st into the top of the beginning ch‑3.
- Fasten off (if changing color) or continue.
You now have the triangle’s base with 3 corners.
Round 2

- Ch 2 (counts as dc), 2 dc into the same corner.
- Ch 3 (corner), 3 dc in same sp.

Now you have 3 corners separated by 1 dc cluster each.

- Ch 2 (counts as dc), 2 dc in the same sp.

- Ch 2, 2 dc, ch 3, 3 dc (corner complete).
- Ch 1, 3 dc in next ch‑1 sp, ch 1 → repeat for each ch‑1 sp until next corner.
- In corner sp: 3 dc, ch 3, 3 dc.
- Continue around following the same pattern: ch 1 between clusters, corners have 3 dc, ch 3, 3 dc.
- End with ch 1, sl st to beginning ch.
You should now have 3 side clusters per side.
You can now continue building your granny triangle by repeating Round 4:
- Corners = 3 dc, ch 3, 3 dc
- Between corners = 3 dc in each ch‑1 sp, separated by ch 1
