Granny Bunting Triangles
: TO BEGIN :: Chain 4, join with a slip stitch to form a ring.
:: ROUND 1 (Work out of central ring) ::
Chain 6 (counts as 1 tr + ch-3 corner space)
Work 3 tr into the ring, chain-3 (as above)
Work 3 tr into the ring, chain-3 (as above)
Work 2 tr into the ring. Now slip stitch into 3rd chain of initial ch-6 to close the round (I've put my needle in to show you where to go, above). Fasten off.
You should now be looking at a weeny triangle! It has 3 lots of tr clusters, with ch-3 spaces between.
:: ROUND 2 :: (Work out of chain spaces from made in previous round) Pull a loop of new colour through the first corner chain space from previous round. Now I am practiced at doing this without tying a knot, I simply hold the tail end firmly with my left hand so it doesn't slip, and hook a loop through. If you find it easier, you can knot the two tail ends together, keeping the knot as close to the work as possible.
Chain 6 (counts as 1 tr + ch-3 corner space).
Now if you can manage, hold your tail ends horizontally out to the left and make sure your hook passes under them when you make the next 3 stitches. This will trap them and keep them secure until you darn them in at the end.
In 1st corner space 3 tr, ch-1 (this forms part of the 1st corner cluster)
In 2nd corner space 3tr, ch-3, 3 tr, ch-1 (this is the 2nd corner cluster)
In 3rd corner space 3tr, ch-3, 3 tr, ch-1 (this is the 3rd corner cluster)
In 1st corner space 2 tr , join with sl st to 3rd chain of initial ch-6 (this completes the 1st corner cluster).
Yay! Round two complete! Now before you go any further, please deal with those tail ends....
Turn the triangle over to the wrong side, and you should see where you have crocheted over them with those first few stitches. Now thread both ends onto a darning needle and carefully darn them back on themselves, weaving under the yarn of that corner cluster. Don't pull too tight.
:: ROUND 3 :: (Work out of chain spaces) Pull a loop of new colour through the first corner chain space from previous round.
Chain 6 (counts as 1 tr + ch-3 corner space)
Remember to crochet over your tail ends as you work this first bit.........
In 1st corner space 3 tr, ch-1(this forms part of the 1st corner cluster).
In next chain space 3tr, ch-1 (this is a side cluster)
In next corner space 3tr, ch-3, 3 tr , ch-1 (this is the 2nd corner cluster)
In next chain space 3tr, ch-1 (this is a side cluster)
In next corner space 3tr, ch-3, 3 tr , ch-1 (this is the 3rd corner cluster)
In next chain space 3tr, ch-1 (this is a side cluster)
In 1st corner space 2 tr , join with sl st to 3rd chain of initial ch-6. (this completes the 1st corner cluster).
Fasten off and darn in ends.
I'm hoping by now that you are beginning to get an idea of how this simple pattern forms. The way each round begins and ends in the same corner space, the way the side clusters are separated by chain-1 spaces, and the way the corner clusters are separated by chain-3 spaces. It's pretty straightforward eh? Onto the next round then......
:: ROUND 4 :: (Work out of chain spaces) Pull a loop of new colour through the first corner chain space from previous round.
Chain 6 (counts as 1 tr + ch-3 corner space)
Remember to crochet over your tail ends as you work this first bit.........
In 1st corner space 3 tr, ch-1(this forms part of the 1st corner cluster)
In next chain space 3tr, ch-1 (this is a side cluster)
In next chain space 3tr, ch-1 (this is a side cluster)
In next corner space 3tr, ch-3, 3 tr, ch-1 (this is the 2nd corner cluster)
In next chain space 3tr, ch-1 (this is a side cluster)
In next chain space 3tr, ch-1 (this is a side cluster)
In next corner space 3tr, ch-3, 3 tr, ch-1 (this is the 3rd corner cluster)
In next chain space 3tr, ch-1 (this is a side cluster)
In next chain space 3tr, ch-1 (this is a side cluster)
In 1st corner space 2 tr , join with sl st to 3rd chain of initial ch-6. (this completes the 1st corner cluster).
Fasten off and darn in ends.
:: ROUND 5, 6 and 7 ::
Work as for round 4, adding in extra side clusters with each round. Remember you are working chain-3 spaces in between the corner clusters and chain-1 spaces between the side clusters.
It helps if you darn in your ends as you go, at the end of each round.
Now then....you have finished crocheting, but you may well find that your granny triangle is looking a little bit worse for wear. Does it have wibbly wobbly edges and untidy curling corners? Well Granny is ready for her Spa treatment!
I've used 100% acrylic yarn here, but this method of steam blocking works with any fibre. You need an ironing board, a steam iron and 3 pins.
Turn the triangle over so that the right side faces downwards. Stretch out the top edge and put a pin in each corner. You are pinning directly into your ironing board cover, putting the pins at an angle so's they don't ping out.
Pull the bottom corner downwards until the triangle edges look straight and even, and put a pin in the bottom corner.
Now set your iron to the LOWEST heat setting, and make sure you have STEAM.
Now HoVeR!!!! This is VErY ImPorTaNt....The Iron Does Not Touch The Crochet. You hover it very, very close, about a centimetre above the surface of the yarn, and you simply allow the steam to do the work. No contact, no pressure. Just the pfffffffffffffffff of the steam. Concentrate on the corners. It does not take long, maybe ten seconds is all. And the results are absolutely miraculous.

Stitches:
chain stitch (ch), double crochet (dc), half double crochet (hdc), single crochet (sc), slip stitch (sl)
Pattern:
1. Chain stitch 4 with red yarn.
2. Slip stitch back through the first chain stitch to create a circle.
3. Chain stitch 3. This will act as your first double crochet in this round.
4. Double crochet 11 more stitches in the center of the circle you made in step 2. 12 total.
5. Slip stitch through the top of the first chain of 3 to form the first circle round.
6. Continue with your red yarn and chain stitch 3 again. This will act as your first double crochet (dc) in this round.
7. Double crochet into the same stitch, so there are now 2 in the same space.
8. Continue to double crochet 2 stitches into each of the remaining holes from the previous round. 24 total.
9. Slip stitch through the top of the first chain of 3 to form the second circle round. Cut off your yarn and pull it tight to finish.
10. Add cream yarn into one of the spaces in the red piece and chain stitch 2. This will act as your first half double crochet (hdc). Stitch one more hdc into that same red yarn space as your chain of 2.
11. Continue to hdc 2 stitches through each space in the red yarn, for a total of 48 (including your first 2 from #10)
12. Slip stitch through the top of the first chain of 2 to form the third circle round. Cut off your yarn and pull it tight to finish.
13. Add green yarn into one of the spaces in the cream and chain stitch 1. This will act as your first single crochet (sc).
14. Continue to single crochet 1 stitch through each space in the cream yarn, for a total of 48 (including your first chain 1).
15. Slip stitch through the first sc to form the fourth circle round. Cut off your yarn and pull it tight to finish.
Use your yarn needle to thread and hide all the tails.
You can be finished here, as it does resemble a watermelon. But you can get out a little black yarn and sew in a few black bumps to represent seeds and it makes it complete.
1. Tie a knot at the bottom of 12 inches of yarn and thread on your needle to the top.
2. Sew your yarn up and over one thread of red yarn and thread it back down. As you work each seed, thread your black yarn through the red to hide it in.
3. Repeat by sewing as many seeds as you’d like.
4. Tie a simple knot at the end and weave in the tail to hide it.
