by the end of this tutorial you should be able to make section 10 the cozy triangle strip of the
0:12
serenity blanket cowl okay before we get started let's talk about the materials we're going to need
0:16
i have some worsted weight yarn here this is big twist value in mustard color i have my h8
0:26
or 5mm hook and I have a few place markers, stitch markers here you can use if you want
0:34
I will talk you through where we can put them but they're not necessary. The cozy triangles pattern
0:42
is made using multiples of 12 stitches plus one if you're going to do a foundation chain
0:49
and then a long row of double crochets to start. Or if you're making this for the Serenity Throw crochet along
0:58
there are 192 stitches in the blanket itself. So following that pattern
1:04
you'll already have a foundation of 192 stitches. And for this tutorial
1:09
I'm going to make a repeat of three sections of the triangles
1:15
So we'll talk through that as we go along. And here I've already done row one of the pattern. It's just double crochets in every stitch to the end of the row. And we're ready for row two. So I'm going to chain one and turn my work
1:34
and I'm going to single crochet 11 so in the very first stitch that's where I'm
1:44
going to put my first single crochet okay I've got eleven single crochets the next stitch is going to be a single
2:06
crochet in the front loop only so the front loop is the loop that is on the
2:12
top v's it's the loop that is closest to me so I'm going to do one single crochet there and that's
2:20
where you want to place a stitch marker into that stitch if you want to use stitch markers that will
2:27
just help you identify the center of those going forward and we're going to repeat that to the end
2:33
of the row single crochet 11 followed by one single crochet in the front loop
2:43
only okay and then the last stitch of the row you're gonna put a single crochet
2:51
into the front loop only that's the end of row two okay for row three we're
3:00
gonna turn our work and chain two this counts as the first stitch in this row so we're not going
3:11
to do any stitches into the very first stitch you're going to count that as the first stitch so
3:17
after that we're going to do a combination of stitches the first one is going to be
3:23
a front post treble crochet so let's talk through that treble crochet is to yarn over twice around
3:34
your hook and you're going to do this around the double crochet of the row of the first row so
3:44
the next stitch here where you would normally do a stitch you're going to find the double crochet
3:49
right below it and that's where you're going to do your treble crochet insert your hook behind the
3:57
post of the stitch and then you're going to yarn over and finish out a treble crochet so yarn over
4:04
bring up a loop yarn over pull through two loops yarn over pull through two loops again yarn over
4:11
pull through the last two loops on your hook so that treble crochet is going to stick out
4:17
it's gonna be like the texture on your fabric you're not going to do anything
4:25
into the stitch behind it it's gonna just sit there from the single crochet in
4:30
the row two and now you're going to double crochet as usual into the next
4:36
stitch of row two so double crochet here and then you're gonna repeat these two
4:46
stitches the front post treble crochet and a double crochet you're gonna repeat
4:50
that to the end of the row so we'll do the front post treble crochet again into
4:56
row one so you're gonna go two rows down every time you do a front post treble
5:02
crochet it's going to be around the double crochet row not the single
5:06
crochet row so yarn over twice insert your hook behind the post from the front
5:15
side of your work yarn over pull up a loop yarn over pull through two yarn over pull through two
5:22
yarn over pull through the last two loops double crochet okay continue this another front post treble crochet
5:39
and a double crochet stitch okay you see how that texture is working up see the front post treble crochets stand out nicely
5:53
and the double crochets are just flush with your work on the back side there's nothing
5:59
really noticeable with the texture but continue this all the way down
6:04
when you get to a stitch marker you can take the stitch marker out for a second
6:12
make your double crochet into it and then you can put the stitch marker back in
6:22
to the double crochet stitch when you're done if you want to keep that in place
6:34
Okay, I'm at the last stitch in row three and it's supposed to be a front post treble crochet
6:46
So the last stitch is a little tricky because it's right here
6:50
It's the end of the row. So I just put it around the post and continue it like normal
7:02
You don't have to do that. you can kind of see it might look slightly different than the rest of the treble crochets
7:10
another option if you don't like how that looks is to just end on a double crochet in that last
7:19
stitch but here you can see it the same pattern all the way down just until the variation in that last stitch if you want to do it that way I gonna put the front post treble crochet back in there so you can see how it looks in my version as it written
7:40
in the pattern but again remember you can do that a different way so we're at
7:46
the end of row three let's turn our work and start row four going to chain one and front loop only
7:58
single crochet to the first stitch and then we're going to single crochet nine stitches
8:10
under both loops so regular single crochet nine times okay the place markers are helpful to note where the center of the triangle is going to be for the
8:34
part of the triangle that does not have the treble crochets in it so you want to make sure that when
8:40
you get to this part you have one stitch before you get to the stitch marker because we're going
8:45
to do three front loop only single crochets. So you can take your stitch marker out
8:53
front loop only single crochet three times into the next three stitches. You can put your stitch
9:02
marker back in to the middle of the three and that will help you keep the center of those
9:10
triangles when you come to it. If you want to do it that way
9:14
or if you want to do it a different way that makes sense for you
9:19
it's just helpful for when you're counting your sections. There's always going to be
9:24
12 stitches in this repeat. The next thing we're going to do is 9 single
9:34
crochets under both loops. 1 you okay and then we're gonna do three single crochets but in the front loop only
10:10
back to nine single crochets under both loops okay and we have two stitches left the chain two that counts as a stitch and
10:33
then there's another stitch here so this is where we're going to do two front
10:39
loop only single crochets and I'm gonna do that one into the turning chain and
10:47
then I'm going to turn my work here's the right side of the work after we've
10:57
done through row four okay row five is going to be another row where we're
11:05
going to do double crochets and then front post treble crochets. So to
11:13
start we're going to chain two. We're going to start making the shapes of the
11:19
triangles here. So that counts as my first stitch. I'm going to double crochet
11:25
into the next stitch. And in this row when we do our front post treble crochets
11:33
they're always going to be two rows down so this is row five they're going to be in row three
11:40
and they're always going to be into a double crochet from the row below so you'll see you
11:45
have the treble crochets and double crochets the front post treble crochets in this row are going
11:50
to go into the double crochets two rows below so we've chained two double crochet now we're going to
11:58
do a front post treble crochet and a double crochet into the next stitch and
12:18
we're going to repeat these two stitches four times
12:29
Okay
12:54
So if you're reading the pattern and following where the asterisks and the brackets are, we did a front post treble crochet and a double crochet
13:03
And we're going to repeat that pair of stitches four times. So we have one, two, three, four
13:10
And then we're going to double crochet two stitches. So in the next two stitches, we're going to put a double crochet here
13:21
And another double crochet here. and then we're gonna go back to the beginning of our brackets and we're
13:33
going to repeat this section these stitches until there are ten stitches
13:42
left in the row so now I'm gonna do a front post treble crochet the beginning
13:51
part is going to be the same and I'm just going to repeat that four times and
14:02
that should get me to the end of the row okay and we want to make sure we get a double crochet into that single crochet from row one
14:35
and there we have the end of row five so you can start to see where the triangles
14:42
are being defined you'll see the front loop only single crochets they kind of leave this nice
14:50
bridge here in between the rows. Alright let move on to row six I going to turn my work chain one i going to do
15:05
two front loop only single crochets into the next two stitches again the chain one here at the
15:12
beginning of the road does not count as a stitch so single crochet into the very first stitch
15:19
front loop only do that twice and then we're going to single crochet under both loops seven times
15:36
okay now we're going to do five front loop only single crochets
15:49
you so we're gonna keep repeating this until about three stitches remain so single
16:04
crochet seven times under both loops and then single crochet under just the front loop only five times
16:38
and then when three stitches remain I'm going to do front loop only for the last
16:44
three stitches including into the turning chain from the row below all
16:57
right so that's the end of row six turn our work and we're gonna start row seven
17:07
is going to be another double crochet front post treble crochet row starting off with a chain two
17:16
that counts as my first stitch so i'm going to double crochet into each of the next two stitches
17:29
one two front post treble crochet two rows down so into row five around the post again you'll see it's
17:41
going into the double crochet it's not going to go into the treble crochet of the row before it's
17:45
going into a double crochet two rows down and that's going to be followed by a double crochet
18:00
and we're going to repeat these two stitches together three times so I have a total of four repeats of that front post treble and the regular
18:27
double crochet I'm gonna double crochet four stitches and to eat one double
18:38
crochet into each of the next four stitches put my stitch marker back in the middle okay now we're gonna go back to the
19:02
beginning of the brackets on the pattern and we're going to front post treble
19:08
double crochet double crochet repeat those two stitches three times
19:38
you and I'm gonna do four double crochets
20:01
okay go back to the beginning of the brackets from post treble crochet this
20:07
is where it says repeat until nine stitches remain so if I count my stitches
20:11
left I have one two three four five six seven eight nine so once nine stitches
20:16
remain I'm going to front post treble crochet double crochet and I'm gonna repeat this three times
20:37
okay so I finished the repeat of those two stitches one two three times and in
20:56
the last stitch I'm just going to simply double crochet. Here's how it looks after
21:10
row seven. We're halfway through making this blanket strip. Turn our work, chain
21:24
one we're going to start row eight now so i have one chain and i'm going to front
21:30
loop only single crochet three times into the first three stitches and then i'm going to single crochet five stitches under both loops
21:54
and then I'm going to front loop only single crochet seven times so the middle where my
22:03
stitch marker is that's going to be the middle of those seven stitches okay and we gonna repeat the part where it says five single crochets followed by seven front loop only single crochets we going to repeat that until about four stitches remain
22:55
you the last four stitches we're going to do front loop only single crochet
23:19
all right the end of row eight alright let's get ready for row 9 by chaining 2 double crochet 3 stitches into the next 3 stitches
23:51
and then we're going to start the brackets where we have some repeats going on so
23:55
front post only treble crochet into row seven the double crochet below
24:10
followed by a regular double crochet into row eight we're going to repeat these two stitches
24:18
two more times you okay so we have three total repeats of that front post treble crochet and a
24:39
double crochet together and then we're gonna double crochet in each of the next
24:46
six stitches you all right back to the repeats we're going to do front post treble crochet
25:10
followed by a double crochet we're going to repeat that two more times
25:22
and then we're going to put six double crochets in each of the next six
25:39
or a double crochet in each of the next six stitches you're going to repeat that sequence of stitches until there are eight stitches remain remaining
25:58
which is where i'm at on that last triangle you should have one two three four five six seven
26:04
eight stitches so then it's front post treble crochet double crochet repeat that two times you
26:32
and then two double crochets in each to finish out the row
26:39
and there is the end of row nine let's turn into row 10 chain one front loop only single crochet four times in the first four stitches
27:05
then we're going to single crochet three times under both loops
27:26
and then we're going to front loop only single crochet nine times
27:35
you okay and then you're going to repeat that through the end of the row until about five stitches remain
27:51
just keep alternating the three single crochets and nine front loop only single crochets
28:05
you okay when you have five stitches left you're gonna do front loop only single crochet into each of them to finish out this row
28:48
all right there's the end of row 10 let's turn our work right row 11 chain 2
28:58
and we're going to double crochet in the next four stitches okay so then we're going to front post treble crochet into row nine
29:30
I'm going to do a double crochet into the next stitch and then one more front post
29:42
treble crochet and then I'm going to double crochet nine times into each of the next nine stitches
30:00
you okay and you're going to complete this sequence or repeat this sequence to the
30:17
end of the row until about seven stitches remain so front post treble
30:26
crochet double crochet front post treble and then nine double crochets all right
30:33
when you have seven stitches left you're gonna do one last grouping of front post
30:39
treble crochet double crochet another front post treble crochet then you're
30:52
going to double crochet to finish out the row so you have four double crochet stitches
31:06
you there's how it looks after the end of row 11 just a couple more rows to go right for row
31:20
12 turn our work and a chain one and I'm going to front loop only single crochet
31:29
five times and then the repeat tells me to single crochet one time I actually gonna put
31:46
my stitch marker there single that was a single crochet a regular one under both
31:55
loops and then I'm gonna front loop only single crochet 11 times
32:05
okay and I'm going to repeat those 12 stitches one regular single crochet followed by 11 front
32:18
loop only single crochets I'm going to repeat that until six stitches remain and then once
32:26
there's six stitches remain I've just finished a regular single crochet and now I have six stitches
32:31
left I'm gonna front loop only single crochet into each of those
32:46
that's the end of row 12 I'm going to turn my work chain two all right so for
32:55
row 13 I'm going to chain two for the first stitch double crochet five stitches
33:12
okay and then I going to front post treble crochet into this double crochet below in row 11 alright
33:28
that's gonna be the last of the front post treble crochets you'll see it's the top of the triangle here and then it's going to be double crochet into
33:45
the next 11 stitches okay I'm gonna take my stitch markers out that's technically where the next
34:07
front post treble crochet goes so if we're looking at the repeats listed on
34:12
the pattern it's going to be one front post treble crochet 11 double crochets
34:18
and we're gonna repeat that until there are six stitches remaining so keep
34:27
working through that okay I have six stitches left I'm going to front post
34:34
treble crochet followed by five double crochets to round out the end of this row
34:59
all right that is the end of row 13 we have one really simple row left to finish up this
35:07
blanket strip let's turn our work row 14 it's going to be chain one and front loop
35:17
single crochet all the way to the end of the row make sure you do your first
35:25
single crochet into that very first stitch and continue to front loop single
35:31
crochet all the way to get to the end of this row
35:36
