When I set out to design the Granny Shawl, I wanted to make something that every crocheter could feel confident making. Crocheting a triangle shawl can seem a little tricky at first, so I decided to write this pattern a bit differently than my usual ones. My goal was to make the pattern as easy to understand as possible.

Granny Shawl Crochet Pattern
Row 1: Ch 4 and join to 1st ch with a sl st to form a ring. Ch 4 (counts as a dc throughout pattern).
Work 3 dc in the ring. Ch 2 and work 3 more dc in the ring (The space you just created here is the “peak” of the triangle shawl. Place a stitch marker here to help you remember that this is the peak space.), ch 1 and work 1 more dc in the ring.
Row 2: Ch 4 and turn. Work 3 dc in the 1st ch 1 space. Ch 1 and work 3 dc in the peak space, ch 2 and work 3 more dc in the peak space. Ch 1 and in the next ch 1 space work 3 dc, ch 1 and work 1 more dc in the same space.
Row 3: Ch 4 and turn. Work 3 dc in the 1st ch 1 space. *Ch 1 and work 3 dc in the next ch 1 space.* (The ch 1 space is the space between the clusters. The number of ch 1 spaces will increase as the size of shawl increases.) Repeat from * to *, until you reach the peak space. When you reach the peak space, work 3 dc in the peak space, ch 2 and work 3 more dc in the peak space.
*Ch 1 and work 3 dc in the next ch 1 space.* Repeat from * to *, until you reach the final ch 1 space where you will work 3 dc in the space, ch 1, and work 1 more dc in the same space.
Repeat Row 3 until you have a total of 42 rows or until the shawl reaches your desired size.
I hope you enjoy working on your shawl. Feel free to add tassels to the corners of your shawl or maybe even a lovely border!
