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.

🔹 Round 1 (center of the triangle)

1. Start with a mag­ic ring (MR).
2. Ch 3 – counts as 1 dc).
3. Work 2 dc into the ring.
4. Ch 3 (this is your cor­ner).
5. 3 dc into the ring, ch 3 → repeat 2 more times. You should have three 3‑dc clus­ters, each sep­a­rat­ed by ch‑3.
6. Tight­en the ring and sl st into the top of the begin­ning ch‑3.
7. Fas­ten off (if chang­ing col­or) or con­tin­ue.

You now have the triangle’s base with 3 cor­ners.

 Round 2

1. Join a new col­or in any ch‑3 cor­ner sp.
2. Ch 2 (counts as dc), 2 dc into the same cor­ner.
3. Ch 3 (cor­ner), 3 dc in same sp.
4. Ch 1, in next cor­ner sp: 3 dc, ch 3, 3 dc → rep this cor­ner pat­tern 2 more times.
5. Ch 1, sl st into the top of begin­ning ch‑2 (or 3).
6. Fas­ten off (if chang­ing col­or).

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

 Round 3

1. Join a new col­or in any cor­ner sp.
2. Ch 2 (counts as dc), 2 dc in the same sp.
3. Ch 3 (cor­ner), 3 dc in same sp.
4. Ch 1, in next ch‑1 sp, 3 dc.
5. Ch 1, in next cor­ner sp: 3 dc, ch 3, 3 dc.
6. Ch 1, 3 dc in next ch‑1 sp.
7. Ch 1, cor­ner: 3 dc, ch 3, 3 dc.
8. Ch 1, sl st to top of begin­ning ch‑2.
9. Fas­ten off if chang­ing col­or.

 Tri­an­gle is grow­ing — now you have 2 side clus­ters between each cor­ner.

 Round 4

1. Join new col­or in a cor­ner sp.
2. Ch 2, 2 dc, ch 3, 3 dc (cor­ner com­plete).
3. Ch 1, 3 dc in next ch‑1 sp, ch 1 → repeat for each ch‑1 sp until next cor­ner.
4. In cor­ner sp: 3 dc, ch 3, 3 dc.
5. Con­tin­ue around fol­low­ing the same pat­tern: ch 1 between clus­ters, cor­ners have 3 dc, ch 3, 3 dc.
6. 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
• Use any col­or com­bi­na­tion you like!
