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 |
