Patience Triangle Shawl Pattern Inspiration

I don’t make triangle shawls that much.  That is to say, if I were having some fun crochet time and making someone else’s design I would probably choose a triangle shawl pattern but I haven’t designed that many myself.  I struggle to remember them all now that I write this and there’s only maybe 3.  

Anyway, I digress, the more I think about the fact that I haven’t designed many I want to, but I avoid crochet triangle shawl patterns essentially because of the counting.  So I decided to get my big girl knickers on and design a few, the first of which being this free beginner triangle shawl crochet pattern, Patience.

Why Patience?  As I was working on this design the name came to me and I had to keep it.  I wanted this crochet triangle shawl pattern to be simple, easy, beginner.  Something that you could make if you are a new crocheter, or new to shawls or like me don’t want to count through your whole project!  All of those things require patience to be successful.  

It’s the thing I say in groups when people are frustrated with their first attempts or it’s not looking ‘perfect’ or they want to be quick.  It’s not a race, keep going, be patient and enjoy the process, it’s supposed to be fun.  Calm, quiet, steady and comforting – a triangular crochet hug from me to you.

Easy Triangle Shawl yarn & materials 

To make my Patience crochet triangle shawl, I used a new to me yarn – Wheel of Alpaca from Hobbii.  I am currently working on my book It’s a Wrap and looking for new yarns to try and this is one of the ones that fell into my basket.  

Wheel of Alpaca is 250g, 80% Acrylic/20% Alpaca, 940m/1026yd DK or 3 weight gradient cake from Hobbii.   I am a huge fan of the cakes from Hobbii and have previously reviewed Twister and Twister Solid, so when I saw this appear on my Facebook feed I managed to contain myself for maybe a week before I bought some.  

To find out all the specific details on this yarn, check out the review post here.

For alternatives – this beginner crochet triangle shawl pattern is essentially a one skein shawl pattern and so will work for any of my usual options – Twister, Sultan, Sultan Deluxe and a 4mm hook.
