Crochet Pattern: Triangle Shawl “COLOR PLAY” – Also for Beginners




(Click the image to purchase/download)

Cheerfully colorful—in your choice of colors (you can even use up leftover yarn)—this triangle shawl can be quickly crocheted in just a few evenings—very relaxing… and a wonderful gift for all kinds of occasions.

• NO gauge required
• for any yarn of your choice, any color—you can also use up leftover yarn
• shawl size as desired; dimensions of the shawl shown: approx. 200 cm x 100 cm
• Illustrated PDF pattern including a printable summary (no crochet chart)

These basic crochet skills are enough:
chain stitches, single crochet, and slip stitches (all explained with illustrations)


Materials:
Basically, you can use any yarn of your choice with the appropriate hook size, especially suitable for thin yarns, lace yarns, and gradient yarns (e.g. Bobbel).

For the size crocheted here, I used: a total of approx. 350 g of Limone/Catania cotton yarn, 100% cotton, 50 g – 125 m, any color choice; here, 8 colors (partly using up leftover yarn); according to the label, for hook sizes 2.5 – 3.5; used here: 3.5 crochet hook. We also need: a yarn needle for weaving in ends, scissors. A stitch marker is helpful for beginners, plus pins for blocking.

This stole looks especially beautiful in yarns with long color gradients. It is knitted in brioche stitch—that makes it wonderfully soft and cozy—and is a very relaxing knitting project.

You can read more about it here.

This scarf is very well suited for sock yarns with color gradients. It is knitted diagonally, which gives it a clever effect, starts and ends with just a few stitches, and can be knitted in any width. You can also use the pattern to knit a wider shawl.
