Instructions on How to Crochet a Three Corner Shawl
A crochet three-corner shawl is also called a triangle shawl. When you crochet a triangle shawl out of bulky weight yarn, it works up quickly and keeps you cozy all winter. One size fits all, so gauge is flexible. Beginning crocheters looking for a slightly more advanced project than a basic rectangle will find it in the three-corner triangle shawl. Once you have the hang of the pattern, you will find that a triangle shawl is a project you can work on while watching TV.
