A grannies triangular shawl
Hello my friend! I am very happy to see you here today. The grannies shawl is easy to crochet. It is made of different joined squares and half squares for the upper part of the triangle shawl. Let’s have a look at a simple drawing to show you the look of the final shawl. As you probably guessed, the final shawl is made of more squares than in the drawing below. This is just a symbolic picture to show you the construction of the shawl starting with the squares 1, 2, 3 etc and finishing with the half squares in the upper part of the shawl (to have a straight upper edge). I will add pictures of the final shawl when I finish crocheting it.
So, let’s start with the chart of the square.
The last round (in black in the pic above) is for the joining. I am crocheting it in cream. (pic below)
And this is the chart of the half grannies. The triangles that we will use to give a straight upper edge to the shawl. This half square is not worked in rounds. After each row you have to cut the yarn and close the row. And start a new row without turning your work. The last row (in black) is actually a round. The round for the joining part.
Now I will show you how to join. After crocheting square 1, you crochet square 2 and join it to square 1 with its last round (round 5 in black)
After the square 2 joined to the square 1, you join the square 3 to square 1 like in the pic below:
Now that the first 3 squares are joined, you have to join square 4 to the others. Please note that square 4 is joined to square 1 in its corner. See the pic below.
Do not hesitate to ask questions in the comments section or on social medias, I will be happy to help as much as I can. Sorry again for not making a written pattern. I still can’t do that.
Thank you for reading.
Love.
Angie
Because I spin my own Jan I’m going to use the one colour this one is made up of alpaca wool fresh from the animal. I live in New Zealand. I have never done at SEW along for knitting or crochet however, I have done one for Patchwork and quilting I’m looking forward to joining everybody with this. We are selling our own property here in New Zealand and travelling the country in our large house bus specially built I think the shawl will be very handy during the winter months
Hi there would you like me to spend some time and write out the Pattern squares for you? Remember I am in New Zealand so American descriptions equal different stitches let me know thank you
Thank you so much for proposing this!! But I guess it is ok right now. Will get back to you if someone asks for a written pattern. Thanks a lot! Angie
Angie this looks beautiful. Question about the joining- are the slip stitches each toes off?? Would you post a photo or two showing the joining so we can see what that looks like. Thank you 😊
Would you mind showing how you join with a few photos? It’s not clear to me if each slip stitch is tied off individually. Thank you
Hello, I will try to show pictures of the joining once I finish the first 14 squares. Meanwhile, if you like, you can watch my latest youtube video. It is the same joining technique as for this shawl. My youtube channel is: Le monde de Sucrette. Thanks a lot! Angie
This is so beautiful! I can’t wait to make my own with scrap yarn! I like how this pattern is custom sized, how many squares are you making for your shawl (what size will it be)? Thank you for sharing this pattern! 💕
Thank you so much! I don’t know how many squares I will make. It will be a big shawl. Will keep you updated as soon as it is clearer for me 🙂
So much fun to do this. Thank you again ❣️❣️❣️
