Tools & Materials

You can use any yarn weight and corresponding hook size to make this motif but for these instructions, I am using a Light DK / Sport weight yarn in three colours – A, B & C. This will make a triangle motif with the two short sides 6cm/2.36″ long and the long side 9cm/3.54″. Size will vary depending on yarn thickness, hook size and your unique gauge.

For the hook, I am using a 4mm / G hook. I like to recommend Clover Amour, Tulip or Lykke wooden hooks.

Yarns used in these instructions:
Yellow : Naturally Dyed Pure British Wensleydale light DK from The Outside Dyers in Sunset Gold
Green: Falkland Poldale DK Weight Yarn from WitchCraftyLady in Lime
Orange: Naturally Dyed Pure British Wensleydale light DK from the Outside Dyers in Melon
Alternative yarn suggestions:
Rowan Felted Tweed DK (more of a sport weight really!)
King Cole Finesse Cotton Silk DK
Cascade 220 Superwash Sport
Schachenmayr Merino Extrafine 120 DK
