Free Crochet Pattern | How To Make A Granny Triangle

Give your Granny a modern Geometric twist with this step by step tutorial showing you how quick + easy it is to make the Granny Square Triangle.

Everyone loves Grannies! They are still one of my favourite projects to Crochet and so versatile!

You can bust your stash with colourful rounds, mix up the stitch to create filet crochet squares like in my 7 Granny Square Coachella inspired fringed cardigan, or add around intricate mandalas to make a beautiful blanket. 

But here's my latest crochet obsession... 

I've been giving the Granny a geometric twist with the Granny Triangle. 

If you can make a Granny Square you will find this a breeze. They are just the same concept except using 3 clusters instead of 4 every round and an extra few degrees on the corners. 

On Friday I will be showing you an awesome colour pop project to make for your home with these but for today, here's how to make the super cool Granny Triangle.

I'm using a 4.50mm hook and Stylecraft's Special DK yarn I picked up from Wool Zone in Oakham here but if you want bigger chunkier Granny Triangles or delicate lace effect shapes just switch your hook and yarn up or down accordingly. You can also make different sizes by adjusting the number of rounds.

How to make the Granny Triangle step by step

Round One: 

Start with a magic loop and chain 3

3 treble crochet into the loop and chain 3

Repeat twice more. Tighten your loop and join with slip stitch.

Round Two:

Chain 5 (this acts as your first treble plus a ch 2)

3 trebles into the first chain space. 

Chain 3 and follow with another 3 trebles into the same space. There's your first corner!

Chain 2 and make 3 trebles, 3 ch, and another 3 trebles into the same chain space. Second corner made.

Chain 2 and make 3 trebles, 3 ch and 2 more trebles. Join with slip stitch.

Round Three:

Chain 3

Make 2 trebles and chain 2

**Then 3 trebles, 3 ch, and 3 more trebles into the same chain space to make a corner.

Chain 2 and make 3 trebles followed by another 2 ch

Repeat ** until closing with slip stitch. 

Round Four:

Repeat the pattern, each time making 3 trebles, 3 ch and 3 trebles into each corner.

Close with slip stitch and weave in your ends.

To make a multi-colour Granny Triangle, just cast off after each round and change your yarn colour as when crocheting Granny Squares.

And there's how to Crochet the Granny Triangle! 

Just like the traditional Granny Square these Granny Triangles can be used so many ways! Bunting, blankies, 3d cushions... as always with crochet, the possibilities are endless.
