The following makes an almost perfect triangle from the top down: To Begin: Ch 2, 2 sc in 2nd ch from hook, ch 1 turn *Pull on starting tail to make the top point* Row 1: 2 sc in 1st sc, sc in next sc, ch 1 turn Row 2: 2 sc in 1st sc, sc in next 2 sc, ch 1 turn Row 3: 2 sc in 1st sc, sc in next 3 sc, ch 1 turn Row 4: 2 sc in 1st sc, sc in next 4 sc, ch 1 turn Row 5: 2 sc in 1st sc, sc in next 5 sc, ch 1 turn Repeat row 5 for desired length having 1 more sc in each row, you are increasing one sc per row. This one isn\u2019t perfect but a triangle just the same made from the bottom up. When making this type of triangle, it is best to start with a odd number of stitches and since it is worked from the bottom up, it requires a little planning ahead. I did not count the ch 2 as a dc<br>Dc Decrease: (yo insert hook in next space, yo pull through 2 loops on hook) twice yo pull through all 3 loops on hook. To Begin: ch 11, dc in 3rd ch from hook, dc in next 6 ch, dc decrease in last 2 ch, ch 2 turn Row 1: dc in top of decrease stitch, dc in next 5 dc, dc dec , ch 2 turn. Row 2: dc in top of decrease stitch, dc in next 4 dc, dc dec , ch 2 turn. Row 3: dc in top of decrease stitch, dc in next 3 dc, dc dec , ch 2 turn. Row 4: dc in top of decrease stitch, dc in next 2 dc, dc dec , ch 2 turn. Row 5: dc dec, end off Why do you need triangles, hmm well we need them for insertions for maybe a skirt and a nicely made triangle can be made into a bikini bra or ? Stop by the forum and let me know what other uses you can think of for triangles. Next week we will learn 2 more ways to make a triangle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00a9 CrochetQueen Do not copy or distribute in any form without consent<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Believe it or not there are many ways to make a triangle in crochet and [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[25],"tags":[21,22,39],"class_list":["post-861","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-crochet-techniques","tag-crochet","tag-lessons","tag-techniques"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/crochetqueen.co\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/861","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/crochetqueen.co\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/crochetqueen.co\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crochetqueen.co\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crochetqueen.co\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=861"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/crochetqueen.co\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/861\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":862,"href":"https:\/\/crochetqueen.co\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/861\/revisions\/862"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/crochetqueen.co\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=861"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crochetqueen.co\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=861"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crochetqueen.co\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=861"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
