Triangle Granny
Granny Square Variation
This triangle granny square variation is a little more challenging than most. It requires the crocheter to know how to do some double and triple clusters. The results are very unique. I am sure you will enjoy making this one!
I like to make blankets with alternating solid and 2 to 4 color triangles for a unique and interesting item. Make sure to read the stitches you need to know in order to complete this granny.
