(Pay attention to the things marked in turquoise. The corners change a little every round, so I marked it to make sure you picked up on that)
Use
Ch 4, join w/ a sl st to form a ring.
Round 1: Ch 2 (does not count as a stitch) do 15 dc in ring. Join w/ sl st to first dc.
Round 2: Ch 3 (Beginning chain counts as stitch here and for the rest of the pattern), do 1dc in same stitch, ch 1, do 2 dc in same stitch, do 1dc in each of the next 4 sts, *2dc, ch1, 2dc in next stitch, do 1dc in each of the next 4 sts.* Repeat from *to* until you reach the initial ch3. Join with a sl st.
Round 3: Ch 2, do 1hdc in next st. *2 dc, ch 2, 2dc in ch1 space, 1hdc in next 2 sts, 1sc in next 4sts, 1hdc in next 2sts*. Repeat from *to* until you have 4 sts left. work 1sc in each of those 4 sts. Join with a sl st.

To join into a garland, sc in each stitch along the top of each triangle and chain what you wish in between each motif.
I was in search of the perfect crochet triangle the other day. I was planning on making a garland with some hand-dyed yarn I had in my stash that I'd totally forgotten about! But to my surprise, there weren't any that really sparked my interest. So, since I kinda had a vision of what it would look like, I made up my own. And I must say, crochet triangles are harder than they appear. But, I prevailed! Here's the Ultimate Crochet Triangle pattern... :)

Candied Rainbow Yarn
Check out what I did yesterday!
I've been experimenting with some new dying methods lately. I've been using Kool-Aid and the microwave to make my creations! I've also been spot-dying. Which is basically hand painting sections of dry/damp yarn, rather than pouring the dye over yarn in a bowl of water.
I noticed that, using this method, I get more vibrant colors, and the colors also go where I want them to. Totally takes the guesswork out of this activity. And I truly love the result!
I used one packet each of Strawberry, Pink Lemonade, Mixed Berry (which is actually the blue), Lemon-Lime, Orange, and Peach Mango.
The only problem with dying yarn, is that I never know what to do with the yarn afterwards! It's just too pretty to use! Any thoughts?
I've been using Fisherman's Wool by Lion brand. After all the lanolin oil is rinsed out, this yarn dyes beautifully! And it's impressively soft.
I love dying yarn. It's just too much fun to make my own colorways, the way I want them, and then see how they turn out.
To borrow the old cliche, "I never met a yarn I didn't like". Or something like that...
