Step 1: Create a foundation chain

To begin crocheting a triangle, we need to create a foundation chain. The foundation chain is the starting point for most crochet projects. For this tutorial, we will be making a triangle with a base of 10 chains.

Start by making a slip knot and then chain 10 stitches. To make a chain stitch, yarn over, pull through the loop on the hook. Repeat until you have 10 chains.

After we have created a foundation chain, we need to work our first row of single crochets. This row will create the base of our triangle.

In the second chain from the hook, work a single crochet. Then, work a single crochet in each chain across until you reach the end of the row. You should have 9 single crochets in total.

Step 3: Increase the stitches

To create the triangle shape, we need to increase the number of stitches in each row. For this tutorial, we will increase the stitches by 2 in each row.

To increase the stitches, we will work 2 single crochets into the first stitch of the row. Then, work a single crochet into each stitch across until you reach the end of the row. You should have 11 single crochets in total.

Step 4: Continue increasing the stitches

Continue increasing the stitches in each row until the triangle is the desired size. For this tutorial, we will continue increasing the stitches for 4 more rows.

Making the row

Row 2: Work 2 single crochets into the first stitch, then work a single crochet in each stitch across until you reach the end of the row. You should have 13 single crochets in total.

Row 3: Work 2 single crochets into the first stitch, then work a single crochet in each stitch across until you reach the end of the row. You should have 15 single crochets in total.

Row 4: Work 2 single crochets into the first stitch, then work a single crochet in each stitch across until you reach the end of the row. You should have 17 single crochets in total.

Row 5: Work 2 single crochets into the first stitch, then work a single crochet in each stitch across until you reach the end of the row. You should have 19 single crochets in total.

Step 5: Begin decreasing the stitches

After we have increased the stitches, we need to begin decreasing the stitches to create the triangle shape. To decrease the stitches.

What is the triangle symbol for crochet

The triangle symbol in crochet charts typically represents a chain stitch. In a crochet pattern chart, a triangle symbol is often used to indicate the start of a new row or round. It is usually accompanied by a number indicating how many chain stitches to make at the beginning of the row. This chain stitch serves as the first stitch of the row and provides the necessary height for the subsequent stitches to be worked into.
