TRIBHUJA
SCARF
I
love asymmetric triangular scarves because of the way they make the simplest
stitches and patterns look so much more complicated.
This
is my original pattern.
Tribhuja
: ত্রিভুজ means
triangle in Bangla.
With
this scarf, we start at one corner, and then just increase along one edge –
this means that you will get one fixed edge and one ‘growing edge’. The beauty of this pattern is you can make it
as long/wide/large as you want!
Come
along .. Let’s get right to it

Pattern instructions : (Using U.S terminology)
Please note that I start all my rows with a ch 1, turning chain for ease.

Please read through all my notes before you pick up your hook, so you know just where we're heading in our pattern.
In
the last few days, I’ve worked on several pieces of neckwear – and I’m working
with a combination of those ideas to make this triangular scarf.
This is my own pattern.
As
I said before, with our asymmetric scarf, we start with a few stitches and then
keep working, increasing along one side – such that we have one straight side
(that goes around neck) and a growing triangle along the other side that is
fashionably draped around the chest ;)
The
beauty of this pattern is that you can make it as long as you want – just keep
working till you finish your skein.. how easy is that, right?
Our
pattern today is worked in sets of 2-dc with a ch-sp in between.
We
work our 2-dc set in the ch-sps only and get a slowly growing triangle. Got it?
Start Row 1 : with a magic circle.
Work
(2 dc ; ch 1, dc) in that circle.
Pull
lightly to close but do not join – leave as a semi circle. Turn.
Note :
We could work this another way if you are not happy with the magic circle
start. Start with ch 3, and work (to) in
the 3rd ch from hook.
I
just think that the magic circle gives a neater finish.
Row 2 : (2
dc ; ch 1, 2 dc) in the 1st ch-1 sp ;
ch
1, dc in the last dc. Turn.
Row 3 : 2
dc in the 1st ch-1 sp ;
ch
1, (2 dc ; ch 1, 2 dc) in the next ch-1 sp.
Turn.
Row 4 : (2
dc ; ch 1, 2 dc) in the 1st ch-1 sp ;
[ch
1, 2 dc in the next ch-1 sp] ;
ch
1, dc in the last dc. Turn.
Row 5 : 2
dc in the 1st ch-1 sp ;
2
dc in each ch-1 sp till the last ch-1 sp
ch
1, (2 dc ; ch 1, 2 dc) in the last ch-1 sp.
Turn.
Row 6 : (2
dc ; ch 1, 2 dc) in the 1st ch-1 sp ;
[ch
1, 2 dc in the next ch-1 sp] ;
rep
[to] in the each ch-1 sp till the last ch-1 sp ;
ch
1, (sk 2nd last dc), dc in the last dc. Turn.
Easy
enough, right?
Continue
on, repeating Rows 5 and 6 till you have a gorgeous shelled triangular scarf.
Remember
that with each row you will have one more 2-dc set and will always end
with the (2 dc ; ch 1, 2 dc) along the increase edge. It’s that simple.
Another
tweak
will be to work 3 dc in each ch-sp and work the same (2 dc ; ch 1, 2 dc) along
the increase edge. This will give you a
thicker/ chunkier / more full project, which works especially if you are working with a finer
yarn.
Go
ahead, create and make something unique.
Finishing :
If
you have a little yarn left behind, you can make tassels at each end.
Attach one tassel to the first and one to the
last triangles.
