The Juliette triangle scarf is a new Tunisian crochet pattern with amazing texture. Read through to find out all the details!
Concept and Design
I love making and designing triangle scarves! I love their versatility (symmetrical, asymmetrical, striped, variegated, lacey, etc.) and the way they wear/drape. Tunisian crochet is also a close favorite of mine so I really wanted to combine the two. In addition, I wanted to keep the design as simple and beginner friendly as possible. Traditionally, my triangle scarves are worked from the top down with a chain 2 space. But, since Tunisian crochet is worked a bit differently, I didn’t want a large number of loops on my hook which can be cumbersome and increases the risk of dropping stitches. Therefore, this project is worked from the left corner increasing to your desired width then decreased to finish on the right corner.
Please note that this scarf’s width is greater and the slant is steeper than my typical designs but it still wears and drapes well. With the purchase of the Juliette triangle scarf, you will also get a Tunisian Crochet Tips PDF that includes lots of great information and working pictures.
Yarn
I purchased a Hobbii Twister cake ages ago and never really had a project in mind until this scarf. The Twister cake is a #2 sport weight but is rather thin more like a #1 sock weight yarn. Ideally, I would think any #1-#4 (sock to worsted) weight yarn would work for this project. If you decide to use a thicker yarn than what I used for my sample, please keep in mind that you will need a larger hook and yardage will vary. Please also note that with Tunisian crochet, you typically go up 1 to 1.5 hook size(s) than recommended on the yarn label.
I love using variegated yarn because you get so much color and very few ends to weave in (only 2 ends using this Twister cake!!). I planned on using the entire cake and made my scarf as large as possible so that very little, if any, yarn was left. Not sure about you, but I love when a project uses up every bit of a skein or skeins. Whether you choose solid or variegated yarn, the texture still shines through and will look amazing!
