Striped Triangle Shawl – Vintage Crochet Pattern: Instant PDF Download

Size: One size (adjustable rows)

If you’re looking for an easy-beginner 1970s crochet shawl pattern that still feels special, this striped triangle shawl fits the bill. Worked top-down from a center ring in worsted weight yarn, it builds outward with rows of triple crochet and open chain-1 spaces, striping through three coordinating colors and adding a textured band of puff stitches partway through. A generous fringe along both sides finishes the classic triangular silhouette. It’s a forgiving, rhythmic vintage crochet pattern that’s ideal for a first shawl project or for using up worsted weight yarn from the stash.
