If you can make granny squares, I’m sure you can master granny triangles. This crochet triangle shawl pattern comes with a photo and video tutorial.
Yarn for Scarf
The yarn is a number 1 super fine variegated yarn cake. I love it because the color change throughout just happens as you continue working on your project.
When using thread yarn, the result is a lightweight shawl. However, this can be made in different yarn weights from fingering weight yarn to worsted weight yarn. Note, it will change the size of the shawl and the texture, drape, and feel.
This is one of those crochet classics. Make this in a solid color or different colors for a scrappy granny shawl.

The chain 3 at the beginning of each row counts as a double crochet.
You will always start with the CH 3, 2 DC in the same ST and end with 3 DC in the last ST.

When beginning this pattern, you can use the method outlined in the directions, or use the magic circle. Since I chose to use the thread yarn, using the Chain 4 and joining with a slip stitch method to create your beginning circle seemed to provide more stability.

CH 4 join with ST ST.
Row 1
The row 1 stitches are worked inside the circle. CH 3 (Counts as a DC) 2 DC, CH 1, 3 DC. CH 3. 3 DC, CH 1, 3 DC. Turn
Row 2
Ch 3 (Counts as DC). Work 2 DC in the same ST. CH 1 SK to the CH 1 SP of the previous row work 3 DC, CH 1 skip to the CH 3 SP work (3 DC, CH 3, 3 DC, CH 1). Skip to CH 1 SP work 3 DC, CH 1. SK to the last ST work 3 DC. Turn
Row 3 through 41
To continue adding rows, it is a second row repeat. As you repeat row 2. Keep working the 3 DC and CH 1 in each CH 1 SP. The starting, ending, and middle stitches remain the same.
Finishing
Cut a long tail of yarn about 12-inches. Pull through the last loop. Using your yarn needle, weave in the loose ends 3 to 6 times to secure. Snip off excess yarn.
