Hi pals! Welcome to todays free crochet pattern, my Corner 2 Corner Triangle Shawl! If you're new to Corner 2 Corner, also known as C2C, it's a fun crochet technique that starts your project with a double crochet cluster as your corner, and you work outwards increasing at the ends of each row as you go, creating a triangle shape. Once you get to your desired height and width, you can start decreasing.
I have a full written tutorial here, and a video tutorial here to help you out.

Pattern Notes
- Please read all notes and directions before starting the pattern.
- Chain stitches at the beginning of each round do not count as a stitch.
- I do a ch 1 instead of a ch 2 at the beginning of each row/round with a hdc because I prefer that look better. You can do a ch 2 if that works better for you, but still do not count it.
- Stitch count for each round will be at the end in ()

Finish off and weave in the ends.
I recommend steam blocking this to straighten out the lines of the edging, but that is totally optional. (I recommend steam blocking acrylic to give it a little more drape, and it dries much faster than wet blocking. But either works just as well!)
