Sienna Shawl: How to Make a Beautiful Crochet Triangle Shawl

Crochet triangle shawl in mustard yellow lace, worn over the shoulders outdoors

This crochet triangle shawl comes from one of the happiest and busiest stretches of my crochet life, August and September 2019. New ideas kept popping up almost every day, and Sienna was one of them. And the color? I’ve always loved ochre, so this one simply had to be warm mustard yellow.

It’s a big one, about 80 inches wide, so there’s plenty of shawl to wrap around your shoulders on a chilly evening.

I split the free pattern into four parts, and this is Part 1 with Rows 1 to 24. I also took photos of every step in the first rows, so you can see exactly where each cluster goes.

How this crochet triangle shawl is made

This crochet triangle shawl is made bottom up, so you start at the tiny tip and work toward the long top edge. Every row begins with ch7 and ends with a treble crochet, and that’s what makes both edges grow. A stitch marker in the 4th chain of those ch7 shows you where the last stitch of the next row goes.

The whole shawl is worked in one piece, so there’s nothing to sew at the end. Once the triangle is big enough, you add a lace border in the round, all along the edges. That border comes later, in the next parts of the pattern.

What makes the Sienna lace

The Sienna lace is made of clusters, little chain arches and single crochet, framed by solid blocks of double crochet. Each cluster is just ch4 and a dc2tog in the 4th chain from your hook. Two clusters side by side, with a single crochet between them, start every new lace motif.

Over the next rows, those clusters open into arches of ch5 and close again into a neat motif. Meanwhile the dc blocks between the motifs keep growing, from 4 stitches to 7, 10 and 13. That’s how the pattern stays airy in the middle but still has a solid frame.

Is the Sienna Shawl hard to crochet?

The stitches are simple, but this crochet triangle shawl asks for some patience. You only need chains, single, double and treble crochet, plus the dc2tog clusters. The tricky part is the long rows, where you have to keep track of the motifs and the dc blocks.

That’s why I marked the pattern intermediate to advanced. If you’re new to lace, keep a stitch marker close and peek at the photo tutorial whenever a row gets confusing. I made it for exactly those moments.

Yarn, size and blocking for your crochet triangle shawl

My Sienna Shawl is made with Drops Fabel in mustard (111), a blend of 75% wool and 25% polyamide. You’ll need 4 skeins, about 900 yards in total, and a 3 mm hook. Fabel is still available, and the wool and polyamide mix makes the shawl light but strong.

Four skeins mean a few yarn joins along the way. Want them to disappear? My guide on how to join yarn ends shows four easy ways to do it.

Since Fabel is mostly wool, I wet block this shawl. Soak it, stretch it gently and pin it to a mat, then let it dry completely. After blocking, the center of mine measured about 27 inches deep.

Sienna Shawl made by my testers

Seven testers crocheted Sienna before the pattern came out, and I’m so grateful to them. Their questions and tips made the instructions much clearer for you.

  • Forsythia Shawl. Forsythia starts from a magic ring at the top and grows into a soft triangle with lace clusters and a picot edge. It’s friendly for adventurous beginners, and it makes a sweet gift too.
  • Field of Flowers Shawl. Want flowers all over your shawl? Field of Flowers grows fast from the top down, with a floral lace motif that gets bigger with every repeat.
  • Despina Shawl. Despina is worked sideways, so it ends up as an asymmetric triangle full of V-shell lace. Pick it if you want a change from the classic symmetrical triangle.
  • Goldenrod Shawl. Love the mustard color of Sienna? Goldenrod is another gold lace triangle, with diagonal lace bands and an easy 4-row repeat.

More bottom-up lace shawls

Liked growing Sienna from the tip up? These three lace shawls start at the bottom point too.

  • Nightfall Shawl. Nightfall is one of my oldest lace shawls, a soft purple triangle worked from the point up. Once the rows are done, an edging goes around it, just like on Sienna.
  • Greta Shawl. Greta is made with lace weight yarn, which I find so satisfying to work with. Its lace uses dc2tog clusters too, so you’ll feel at home after Sienna.
  • Sarin Shawl. Sarin is a red alpaca and silk triangle with big dc5tog lace motifs. Its repeat is long, so pick it when you want a proper lace project.

New to triangle shawls?

If this is your first triangle shawl, start with my guide on how to crochet a shawl. It shows the main ways to build a triangle, bottom up included, so Sienna’s start will make sense right away.

Crochet triangle shawl FAQ

How long does it take to crochet the Sienna Shawl?

Plan for a big project! When I was looking for testers, I estimated about 35 hours for the whole shawl. Spread over a few evenings a week, it goes faster than it sounds.

What does “ch3, cluster” mean in this pattern?

It means you chain 7 and then work a dc2tog in the 4th chain from your hook. So the ch3 and the ch4 of the cluster are made in one go. If it still looks strange, check the Row 4 and Row 5 photos in the tutorial.

Can I make this crochet triangle shawl bigger or smaller?

Yes, and that’s the nice thing about a bottom-up shawl. Its length is easy to adjust, because you simply stop earlier or keep going before the border. Just remember that a bigger shawl needs more yarn.

Can I use a different yarn?

Sure! Pick a fingering weight yarn with about the same yardage, around 900 yards. Then check your gauge after Row 13, where the triangle should be about 5.5 inches high.
