Materials Needed

• Yarn: Lightweight cotton yarn in pastel tones: lavender, mint, blush, and sky blue.
• Hook: Size G/6 (4.0 mm) crochet hook.
• Gauge: 16 single crochets and 20 rows = 4 inches.
• Additional Supplies: Scissors, a wooden dowel for hanging, and a tapestry needle for weaving in ends.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Base Triangle

1. Start with a magic ring. This will form the center of your triangle.
2. Round 1: Chain 1 (Ch 1), then work 3 single crochets (sc) into the ring. Join with a slip stitch (sl st) to the first single crochet. You should have 3 stitches.
3. Round 2: Ch 1, then work 2 sc in each stitch around. Join. You should have 6 stitches.
4. Round 3: Ch 1, then (sc in the next stitch, 2 sc in the next stitch) around. Join. You should have 9 stitches.
5. Continue increasing in this manner (adding one more single crochet between increases each round) until you have a total of 36 stitches.
6. Once you reach 36 stitches, fasten off the yarn.

2. Asymmetrical Extension

1. Attach your yarn to any stitch on the edge of the triangle.
2. Row 1: Ch 1, then sc in the next 18 stitches. Turn your work.
3. Row 2: Ch 1, work a sc2tog (single crochet two together), then sc across to the last 2 stitches, and work another sc2tog. Turn your work. You should have 16 stitches left.
4. Repeat Row 2 until you have 2 stitches remaining. Fasten off the yarn.

3. Decorative Fringe

1. Cut 12-inch strands of each pastel color yarn (lavender, mint, blush, and sky blue).
2. Attach the fringe to the bottom edge of the triangle and the asymmetrical extension using a lark's head knot. To do this, fold a strand in half, place it under the edge, and pull the ends through the loop to secure it.

4. Hanging Loop

1. Attach yarn to the top corner of the triangle.
2. Chain 20 (Ch 20), then slip stitch to the same stitch to form a loop. This will be your hanging loop.
3. Fasten off and weave in all ends using a tapestry needle.

5. Finishing Touches

1. Block the piece to shape it properly. This will help even out the stitches and enhance the overall look.
2. Attach your finished wall hanging to a wooden dowel for easy display. You can use the hanging loop you created to secure it to the dowel.
