Gizeh Crochet Triangle

“GIZEH CROCHET TRIANGLE” – FREE PATTERN

The Gizeh plateau in Egypt is a small portion of land where world´s most important archaeological site is located. Researchers throughout history have tried to unveil its secrets by developing complex theories in order to explain its origin and meaning. Archaeology, mathematics, astronomy etc., even a possible extra-terrestrial origin, has not been enough to reveal the secret of Gizeh sacred geometry.
One of most interesting research lines understands that Gizeh pyramids are not measurable; but its relations define them. The plateau is an only project, and not the addition of the individual constructions made by each pharaoh throughout time.
Which one will it be the sacred geometry of your next crochet project using Gizeh triangle? A blanket? A scarf? Perhaps a cute top? What said by Planet Crochet inhabitants will be the proper course of action.

INSPIRATION + DESIGN

The design uses front and back post stitches to create a 3D effect.

The triangle is Reversible and looks, nearly the same from both sides. I love that both sides are pretty!

BOBBLE STITCH (abbrev. BO)
A bobble is a number of stitches, half finished and all worked into the same st.
[YO, insert hook in stitch, YO and pull up loop, YO and pull through the first 2 loops on hook] x 3 times to have 4 loops on hook, YO and then pull through all loops on hook in one go to complete the bobble.

INVISIBLE FASTEN OFF
Cut yarn, pull yarn tail through last stitch made and thread tail through yarn needle. Insert needle under both loops at the top of the second stitch of the round and pull yarn through. Then, insert needle through back loop of the last stitch made and pull yarn tail through. You’ve created a false stitch, tighten it by pulling on the yarn tail until it mimics the size of your other stitches.

STANDING SC
Place slip knot on hook, insert hook in indicated stitch, YO and pull up loop (2 loops on your hook), YO again and pull through both loops on hook.

FRONT POST & BACK POST DOUBLE CROCHET
The design uses front and back post stitches to create a 3D effect.

Instead of making your stitch through the loops at the top of the stitch, you make it around the post. Everything else stays the same no matter what stitch you are making.

For front post stitches, you insert your hook from front to back to front. For back post stitches, you insert your hook from back to front to back.

Front Post Double Crochet (abbrev. fpdc):
YO, insert hook from front to the back and to the front again around the post (vertical bar), YO, pull the yarn through the stitch (3 loops on the hook) and finish a dc as usual.

Back Post Double Crochet (abbrev. bpdc):
YO, insert hook from the back to the front and to the back side again around the post (vertical bar) YO, pull the yarn through the stitch (3 loops on the hook) and finish a dc as usual.

STEP BY STEP PATTERN

Notes

• This pattern is written in US terminology.
• When you crochet in closed rounds, you will close each round with a slip stitch into the first stitch of the round. The next round starts with one or more initial chain stitches (know as the “turning chains”) to get the right height for the following stitches and follows the same direction as the previous round.
• Turning chains at the beginning of rows count as a stitch.
