Triangle Shawl Crochet Pattern, A Watermelon Color Combo

Summer, watermelon on the beach, that’s what I had in my head. But the yarn in my hands was actually a winter weight. Funny how that works sometimes.

Quick answer: This is a triangle shawl crochet pattern worked from the center out in double crochet, with an increase at each edge every row. It’s beginner to intermediate level, grows as large as you want, and needs no gauge swatch since the size is entirely up to you.

Why no gauge swatch on this one

Since this shawl starts at a single point and grows outward, you stop whenever it looks the size you want.

There’s no fixed measurement to hit, so there’s nothing to swatch for.

That also means two people can make the exact same pattern and end up with two completely different sized shawls, and both are correct.

If you want a quick neck project after this one, the Busy Bee Neckwarmer works up much faster.

The Watermelon Shawl, The Colors

Green for the rind, pink for the flesh. You can alternate stripes, blend the two for a gradient, or change colors at any row you like, it’s entirely up to your yarn.

Specialty Stitches & Techniques

X Cross st: skip 1 st, dc in next st, dc 1 in skipped st to form a cross

Notes

• The pattern is worked in rows
• Beginning ch3 does count as 1st st
• Every row has an increase at the first st and the last st (dc2 in same st)
• The center of the shawl is made with 2dc + ch2 + 2dc in every single row
• You can determine how large by adding rows
• This is a symmetrical triangle, you should have the same count of stitches on each side from the center
• Two colors were used here, one color or more is entirely your choice, change colors at any row as you wish

Sandra’s tip: Since this shawl grows from a single point, it’s an easy project to pick up and put down. If you’re not sure how big to make it, try it on every 10 rows or so and stop whenever it feels right. If you like this kind of two-color combo, the Amore Scarf plays with color the same way.
