Some days ago, a good friend asked me for help making a crochet triangle she wants to use for a bikini top, doll size.
I made 2 different options for her, and I wanted to share them with you in case you need small crochet triangles :3 (of course you can make them bigger if you need, following the same steps)
Of course, there are a lot more methods to make triangles, but I think in general we can divide them into 2 general:
1. Working flat method
2. Working in the round method.
Let's see how to make both of them, these are the basic patterns, you can always modify them to get bigger or smaller triangles by making more or fewer rows, as you need, following the same formulas.
METHOD No. 1 Flat triangle
Diagram / Graphic explanation
I started from the bottom up, and i alternate the place of the increases, one row at the beginning, next row at the end and so on.
If you are more of the written patterns kind, here it is: 😊
~ Ch 1
~ 2 sc in chain, turn
~ 1 sc, 1 inc, turn
~ 1 inc, 2 sc, turn
~ 3 sc, 1 inc, turn
~ 1 inc, 4 sc, turn
~ 5 sc, 1 inc, turn
~ 1 inc, 6 sc
~ And so on...
When you get the desired size, pull the yarn and weave in. This triangle is made with single crochet but it will work too with HDC, not sure about DC.
METHOD No. 1 Flat triangle

As the tittle said, this method is working in the round so start with a Magic Ring, here the complete written instructions:
~ Magin Ring
Row 1:
~ Ch 1, (3HDC, ch2)x3, Join with sl st to the first HDC
Close the magic ring, it will form a small triangle.
Row 2:
~ Ch 1, 3 HDC, *(2 HDC, ch 2, 2 HDC)-in the chains space from the previous row*, Repeat from * 2 times more.
Join with sl st to the first HDC of the row. Pull the yarn, weave in.
If you want a bigger triangle, continue making as many rows as you need, following the same formula, 1 HDC in every HDC from the previous row, and (2 HDC, ch 2, 2 HDC) in every chains space from the previous row.
Voilá 💓
Happy stitches 🙌
