Steps
Choose your yarn and hook, then decide how wide you want the scarf. The width is set by how many increase rows you work before you start decreasing.
Make a slip knot and chain 6. Work a double crochet into the fourth chain from the hook, then one double crochet into each of the last two chains.
Chain 6 and turn. Work the first block into the last chain space of the previous row, then slip stitch into the next chain space and work a second block.
Keep adding one block at the end of each row to grow the triangle. Each new row starts with chain 6 and ends with a new block.
Stop increasing when the scarf reaches the width you want. This is the widest point and the start of the first side.
Begin decreasing: chain 3 and turn, slip stitch into each chain space along the row, then work blocks as normal so the row gets one block shorter each time.
Continue decreasing rows until only one block remains. This forms the second corner and the end of the scarf.
Fasten off, weave in the loose ends with a tapestry needle, and block the scarf to even out the stitches.
Tips and common mistakes
Count your blocks at the end of every row so you notice a missed increase or decrease early.
Keep your turning chains loose so the edges stay straight and do not pull in.
Block the finished scarf with pins and a light mist of water to open up the stitch pattern.
Write down the number of increase rows you used so a second scarf matches the first.
Questions
Can I make the scarf wider or narrower?
Yes. Just work more or fewer increase rows before you start decreasing. The same method works for any width.
Do I need special yarn for this stitch?
No. Any yarn works, but a light to medium weight yarn with a matching hook gives the airy look shown. Check the yarn label for the recommended hook size.
Can I use this stitch for a baby blanket?
Yes. The same corner to corner method works for blankets. Keep increasing until the blanket is as wide as you want, then decrease to the opposite corner.
