All right, so let’s learn a bit about how this stitch came about! I first came up with a variation of this stitch when I was swatching for a design for the I Like Crochet magazine! You may remember I recently had a pattern published in their magazine—the Timberlane Cardigan! Well, this stitch uses the same technique as that cardigan does; I just made the triangles smaller!

Overall, I love making this stitch because of how much the triangles POP! The post stitches help create this effect, but two contrasting colors help accentuate the effect. I think this stitch would look awesome in a ton of different color combinations!

If you make this stitch, I would love to see YOUR color combination! Be sure to post pictures and tag me @desertblossomcrafts on Instagram, or post the pictures in my Facebook group!

Want to get rid of the ads? This stitch pattern is available as apart of a PDF bundle with 3 OTHER stitch patterns—all my October stitches! From this PDF, you can easily print out the patterns, or view it without ads.

Also, in case you haven’t heard…this stitch is apart of the Desert Blossom Stitch Along, which is running throughout all of 2019! We are more than halfway through the year, but you can still jump in now if you’d like to! Be sure to view the master list of stitches released so far HERE, or join the community in my Facebook Group HERE.

Like I was saying earlier, I absolutely LOVE it when you guys make the stitches and share pictures! Please, please, please, share if you’ve made one of them! You can post in the Facebook group, or tag me on Instagram.

How to Crochet the Triangle Post Stitch

• To pre-order the ENTIRE Desert Blossom Stitch Dictionary, click HERE

Notes:

• Stitch Pattern is a multiple of 7+4
• Ch 3 at beginning of rows counts as dc
• Carry both colors throughout the whole square. Whenever you change colors, do so on the stitch BEFORE you need the new color. Simply finish the previous dc by doing the last yarn over with the new color. (Make sure to watch the video for more help with the color changes).

MATERIALS:

You can potentially use ANY yarn and hook for this stitch. However, here’s what I used:

1. Worsted Weight yarn (I used Sugarbush Bold yarn, but you can use any worsted weight!)
2. H/8 (5mm) crochet hook

Instructions:
