Crochet Love Triangle Shawl
A few weeks ago I went out to the new Mary Maxim yarn shop that opened just down the street from me here in London, Ontario. I grabbed myself a ball of Prism Sparkle yarn and had the idea that I wanted to make a scarf of shawl of some sort. I decided I would start to work on something after I finished a few WIP’s (work in progress) I’ve got on the go and set the yarn aside.
I recently saw that Mikey from The Crochet Crowd will be attending the grand opening of the Mary Maxim on January 31st, 2015. I decided it was time I get to work with this yarn that I had. I started with a heart. I had the idea that I wanted to make a shawl with the heart but no idea how. I figured since there was only 2 weeks before the grand opening maybe it would be best if I worked up a scarf attached to the heart so that I would be able to have something finished in time for the grand opening.
I got to work right away on my scarf when it hit my like a ton of bricks. I had an idea of how I could work my heart into a triangle shawl. I had some angora supreme yarn from my shop that I decided to test out my idea. I hook’ed up something that I could work with and frogged that scarf pattern so fast as this Mary Maxim prism sparkle yarn was meant for something better!Β I was hook’ing up myΒ Crochet Triangle Love Shawl with my Mary Maxim Prism Sparkle yarn. I worked up 10 hearts my first row just to be sure I would not run out of yarn but found after I was done that I would have had enough for 11 hearts on my first row.
I have a feeling that this pattern will cause people some difficulties because you really need to have a good understanding of right and wrong sides of work as this project can get really twisted up if you don’t. I have the written pattern and a video tutorial, I hope this helps to make your own Crochet Love Triangle Shawl.
Crochet Love Triangle Shawl Pattern Notes..
DIFFICULTY RATING
COMPETENT
Click HERE for pattern difficulty ratings.
Yarn: Mary Maxim Prism Sparkle
Hook: US I9/5.50mm
Size: 11 hearts = Approximately 34 inches across the top
Supplies: Yarn needle to sew in ends.
Special Stitches:
- dc-cl (dc cluster): *yo, insert hook in next dc, pull up a loop, yo, draw through 2 loops on hook, rep from * once, yo, draw through last 3 loops on hook.
- joining dc – row 3βs dc on the right side of the heart (left side for lefties) Photo below.
As shown above, the 1st row of hearts. Untwist the chains between hearts, lay the first heart right side up and the remaining hearts laying right side down.
Gauge: with prism sparkle yarn each heart is approximately 2β tall by 3β wide.
Notes:
- Ice Yarns, Angora Supreme & Angora Active (www.dearestdebiyarns.com) #2 fine yarn and a US G6/4.00mm hook, gauge turned out 2β tall by 2.5β wide. With this yarn you could start with probably 20 hearts the first row for 1 ball of yarn.
- Using Red Heart Unforgettable yarn? I recommend using a US J10.5/6.50mm hook. Gauge turned out 2β tall by 2.5β wide, I’m guessing about 10-12 hearts for your first row with one ball of yarn.

Jill says
I am going to have to admit to being lost.
I can do the hearts, but when it comes to turning and starting the second row after making the first heart of the second row, I can’t seem to figure it out. I’ve looked at the video more than once, and perhaps it is because you are using only three hearts… not sure, but can you diagram or somehow help me see where hdc join goes, pretty please?
(I will admit to too much coffee, today and will put it away until tomorrow.)
DearestDebi says
I just added a chart image to the blog post above, please check it out. Hope it helps.
Jill says
Thank you so much!

Cynthia Cowell says
I have a question: am I to understand one ball for this item? Also if I wish a larger shawl how to adjust the pattern as I am a plus size person….
DearestDebi says
The one ball was just for a scarf sized shawl. I believe the pattern calls to work 11 hearts on the first row but you can make as many as you want to make it larger.
Cynthia Cowell says
How many balls of the Red Heart Boutique Unforgettable Yarn, Stained Glass for a full sized shawl?
DearestDebi says
A friend used just a little more than one ball to do 14 hearts. I’m working on one with 18 hearts and I’m sure 2 balls will be more than enough. Check out my friends with details here.. http://www.ravelry.com/projects/katherinedonahue/love-triangle-shawl
Cynthia Cowell says
Thank you so much! Getting started tonight and after viewing your video on U-tube I am sure I can do this! Yippee!
Ingrid says
I recently received a ball of Prism from someone who had it leftover from the project they had finished. It is a beautiful yarn, but I did not know what to use it for since I only had the one ball, then I found your wonderful website and your amazing Crochet Love Triangle Shawl Pattern. Thank-you.
