In the time passed since I published my
Vasarely Bag I've been asked about the pattern a number of times. The answer, like most things in life, divides into three: a triangle, a diamond and a 3D cube.
In order to make the Vasarely 3D crochet cube that you see in my
Vasarely bag, you need to have three crochet diamonds. In order to make a crochet diamond you need to know how to make a crochet triangle, and that's why I decided to make this tutorial.
For the purpose of the tutorial I used cotton yarn and a 3 mm hook, but you can use whatever yarn you have available and a hook that match your yarn. The only thing that will be different is the finished size of your triangle. If you'll use a thicker yarn and a 5 mm hook, your triangle will be bigger than mine. The gauge is also not important, as long as your crochet work is consistent and you keep the same tension through out the work. This tutorial will show you how to make a triangle using single crochet stitches. Note that you can use the same pattern to make a triangle using double crochet stitches. Simply replace sc with dc everywhere in the pattern.
