How to Crochet a Stunning Triangle Shawl – Quick & Easy Tutorial

Hello everyone and welcome back to my channel. Today I'm going to show you how to crochet this super easy triangle scarf. It's a two row repeat and the border right here we will crochet right with it. It's so much fun once you figure out the two row repeat and it works up really really fast. I love the yarn that I use. It has this beautiful color change but of course you can use any yarn you would like and here you can see the stitches even better. It's really a super nice and easy project and now I will show you what we need and how to crochet this triangle scarf. Today I'm using a five millimeter crochet hook. You will also need a pair of scissors, a darning needle and your selected yarn. The yarn I'm using today has those beautiful colors. I really really love the colors and this is the papataya batik yarn. Of course you can use any yarn you would like. This one has 393 yards and it recommends a three millimeter crochet hook but I like working with a larger hook. This is totally up to you and now let's get started. We will start with a slip knot. Of course you could also start with a magic ring but for beginners the chain four is a lot easier but like I said this is totally up to you. Now grab the yarn, pull through and chain four. Just like that into the very first stitch you will insert your hook, grab the yarn and pull through with a slip stitch just like this and into the circle right here we will be working. So now we will start with a chain three which counts as our first double crochet. Now we will yarn over, insert the hook into the middle just like this, grab the yarn, pull up. You have three loops on the hook. Now grab the yarn, pull through two, grab the yarn and pull through two. We will do one more double crochet. So yarn over, insert again in the middle, grab the yarn, pull through and finish your double crochet. And the chain two counts as our first double crochet and we have a total of three. Now chain two, yarn over and we will do exactly the same thing again. Into the middle, work your first double crochet, yarn over, again in the middle, work your second double crochet and your third double crochet. Chain two and repeat. Yarn over, insert into the stitch and work three double crochets. So one, two and three and now one more time a chain two and three double crochets. One, two and three. So we have three double crochets, chain two, three double crochets, chain two, the total of four. Just like that. For row two you will chain one, turn your work around and now in the next four stitches we will be working a slip stitch. So go into the first stitch, grab the yarn, work a slip stitch. Go into the second double crochet, grab the yarn, make a slip stitch, go into the third double crochet and make a slip stitch. And we will do one more just that we get into the first chain two space. So a total of four slip stitches. Now we will chain three, this counts as our first double crochet, yarn over, insert into the chain two space right here, grab the yarn, pull through and pull through. This is our, the chain three counts as our first double crochet. Now chain two, yarn over and work two more double crochets. Just like that. So we have to chain three, a double crochet, chain two, two double crochets. Now we will chain four. Into the next chain two space we will insert, grab the yarn and work a single crochet. Just like that. And again chain four. One, two, three, four. Into the last chain two space right here we will yarn over and work two double crochets. One and two. A chain two and two more double crochets. One and two. And this is how we finish row two. For row three, and we will always start the same way, this is how we're gonna make the nice border. So chain one, turn your work around and now we will do three slip stitches. So go into the first double crochet, work a slip stitch, go into the second, make a slip stitch and now go into the chain two space and make a slip stitch. Now we will chain three, which counts as our first double crochet, yarn over, work a second double crochet. Now we will chain two, yarn over, insert again into the same chain two space and work two more double crochets. And this is how we create our border. This is always the same in each row. Now we will chain four and into the space right here we will insert, grab the yarn and work a single crochet. Into the single crochet from the previous row right here we will yarn over and work five double crochets all into this single crochet. So one, two, all into the same single crochet until you have a total of five. Four and five. This is the shell. And now we will insert into the next space from the previous row right here make a single crochet, chain four, into the last chain two space which is our border you will yarn over, insert into the space here and work two double crochets, a chain two and again two double crochets. Just like that. And those will be the two rows we will be repeating. So we always start with a chain one for the border, turn your work around and now three slip stitches. So you go into the very first double crochet, work a slip stitch, go into the second double crochet, work a slip stitch and into the chain two space right here. Now chain three which counts as our first double crochet, yarn over, work another double crochet into the same space, chain two and two more double crochets. Just like that. And like you can see here in this row we had in the previous row we had one shell stitch. And you will see in every row we will be getting more shells. So now we had one and in the next we're gonna have two. So we will prepare for that. So once you're done with your two double crochets, chain four, go into the chain space right here, work a single crochet. Now chain four again, go into the middle, so the third double crochet right here. One, two, three, into the stitch right here you will insert, make another single crochet. Again chain four, go into the next chain space, work a single crochet and now again a chain four and our border stitch which is yarn over, insert into the chain two space, two double crochets, chain two, yarn over and two more double crochets. So in this row with the chain four and single crochets we are preparing for the next row which will be with the shells. And here we have one and in the next row we will have two shell stitches. So this will be the two rows you have to repeat. And into the two single crochets this is where we build the shells. So chain one, turn your work around and again three slip stitches, one, go to the next, two and into the chain two space, the third slip stitch. The border stays the same, so chain three, yarn over, work your double crochet, chain two, yarn over and two more double crochets. Now we will chain four, go into the chain space right here and work a single crochet. Now we will work the shells. Like I showed you, we have here one and in this row we will have two shell stitches. So yarn over, insert into the single crochet and work five double crochets. So one, two, three, four and five. Now into the chain space right here secure with a single crochet. Now chain four, go into the next space right here and again a single crochet. And here in this single crochet we will work our shell stitch. So insert into the single crochet and work five double crochets. One, two, three, four and five. And into the next chain space right here you will secure with a single crochet, just like this. And here you can see how this pattern builds up. Now chain four and we will do the border. So yarn over and again two double crochets, two chains and two more double crochets. And this is how the row looks like. So you can see first we had one shell then and now we have two. And this is the two row we repeat. You have to repeat all the way along but I will show you one more time. So for the next row you will chain one, turn your work around and again three slip stitches until you get into the chain two space. Chain three, a double crochet, a chain two and two more double crochets. In this row we will be preparing for the row with the shells again. So first we have to chain four, insert into the first chain space, secure with a single crochet. Chain four, go again into the third double crochet which is the middle. One, two, three, insert, work a single crochet, excuse me, again chain four, go into the next chain space, secure with a single crochet, chain four, again into the middle which is the third double crochet you will insert and work a single crochet, chain four and again into the next chain space a single crochet. Again chain four and our border which is two double crochets, chain two and two double crochets. So this row it's just chains and single crochets just like that. And now when you look at the work you will see in the places where we have our single crochets this will be where we will play we're placing the new shells in the next row. So once you get the hang out of it it's really super super easy. You can see we have first one then two and in the next row we will have one, two and three shells. And this is what you have to repeat those two rows until you get the desired height and length you want. So I will show you one more time. So again chain one, turn your work around and do the border which is three slip stitches, a chain three, one, two, three, a double crochet, a chain two and two more double crochets. Now is the row where we will actually be creating the shells. So chain four, go into the first chain space right here, work a single crochet. Now into the single crochet from the previous row we will be working our shell stitch. So right here, so yarn over, insert and work five double crochets, two, three, four and five. Now again go into the next chain space and secure with a single crochet. Chain four, go into the next chain space, work a single crochet and now we will be working the next shell in between those two from the previous row. So yarn over, go into the single crochet and work five double crochets. So one, two, three, four and five. Now secure it with a single crochet into the next chain space. Chain four, go into the next chain space right here, again a single crochet and here we will be placing our last shell for this row. So yarn over and into the single crochet five double crochets. One, two, three, four and five. Now again secure into the next chain space with a single crochet. Chain four and now work the border. So again yarn over, insert into the chain two space, work two double crochets, chain two and two more double crochets. Just like that. And now chain one, turn your work around and we will be preparing in this row for the next row of shells. So again work your border, three slip stitches, chain three, one more double crochet, chain two and two more double crochets. In this row we will be just working chains and single crochets. So chain four, single crochet into the next space, chain four, single crochet into the third double crochet, just like this. Chain four, single crochet into the next chain space right here, chain four, single crochet into the third double crochet, chain four, single crochet into the next chain space, chain four and again into the third double crochet, a single crochet and again chain four and do a single crochet into the last chain two space, into the last chain space. Now chain four, now into the chain two space you will work your border. So two double crochets, a chain two and two more double crochets. And those are the two rows you have to repeat. So like you can see here we prepared again for the next row for our shells and this is all you have to do. And you will see once you get the hang out of it, it's so much fun and it works up really, really fast. I will keep crocheting those two rows and I will show you in just a moment how my shawl looks like. And this is what my shawl looks like. You can see the pattern even better now. Like I said, it's just the two rows you have to repeat in every row. We add one shell and yeah, I really, really love working with this yarn. You can see the colors are just so pretty. If you want to finish off your shawl when you have the desired length you want, I only crocheted the row with the single crochets and chains and this is where I'm going to finish off. So all you have to do is just work like we always did, finish your border. So chain two, double crochets, chain two, two double crochets, cut the yarn and now chain one, pull the yarn all the way through and pull tight. Now our work is secure with this knot and it's not going to open up and the only thing left now is just sew in the yarn ends which is here and where we just finished off. So now we will grab our darning needle, pull the yarn through and I will go right here, pull it a little bit tighter. This is where we did our chain four. Even if you have a magic ring, just pull it nice and tight and now go through some stitches, just like that. Then I will go in the opposite direction, through some stitches, just like this, pull tight and again until you have the feeling that the yarn is sewn in all nice and secure. And now we can cut the yarn and you will do exactly the same on the other side. And we are done! Thank you so so much for watching, have a great time crocheting and I hope to see you back soon. Bye!
