Triangles
A row of solid triangles standing point-up like a mountain range or bunting, a graphic motif that fills a band with strong shapes. It works as a border or a repeated field. Open it in the editor to alternate up and down triangles, change their width, or stack two rows, then export the chart or print a numbered pattern to follow.

Perfect for
Skill level: beginner
This is a friendly first filet project. The shape reads clearly even if your counting slips by a square or two, and there are no tricky fragmented areas to track.
Yarn and hook
Size 10 cotton thread on a steel hook makes a fine triangles panel; switch to DK or worsted cotton with a 3.5–4 mm hook and it grows into a soft, blanket-weight piece. Stick to one well-defined colour for the motif; the contrast between filled and open squares is what carries the design.
Project ideas
Reach for the triangles when you want a textural background. It looks at home on a market bag and a modern throw alike. Crop or enlarge it in the editor so it fits your project exactly.
Who it's for
Stitched for a minimalist, the triangles suits a sampler beautifully. Frame it with a border to give a plain gift a finished, considered look.
Size, printing, and scaling
Worked at 4 mesh per inch the 7.5-by-4.5-inch result is a guide only — your thread and hook set the true size, so swatch before you start. You can print a numbered chart as-is, or adjust the grid in the editor and export it in whichever format your project needs.
