Pattern

Make four triangles the same. For each triangle -

Using 4mm needles, and any DK yarn, make a slip knot for the first stitch

1st Row: Knit into the front and back of the first stitch (2sts)

2nd Row: Knit into the front and back of the first st, k1 (3sts)

3rd Row: Knit into the front and back of the first st, k2 (4sts)

4th Row: Knit into the front and back of the first st, k3 (5sts)

Continue in this manner, increasing one stitch on the first stitch of every row, until the length required.

Join the four triangles.

I added a cute little crochet flower to the centre, and made a crochet border using two rows of treble crochet to finish it off.
