Hi there!

After a few round designs, I was longing for something different. So here’s a design that’s geometrically different to everything I’ve done before… a triangle made of triangles!

This is not a beginners’ pattern, but I’ve tried to add as much detail as possible and step-by-step pictures for every row.
Keeping the stitch count is really important with this kind of project, so I’ve added the stitch count to every row as well.

Yarn & Hook size: For the step-by-step pictures I used Hobbii Rainbow 8/4 cotton with a 3mm hook, but you can use whatever yarn & hook size you like, as long as they match and you are happy with the resulting tension
