Crochet a lace shawl. Lacy corner to corner technique

What the video shows (artistic technique / concept)

• How to crochet a lightweight lace shawl using a lacy “corner-to-corner” (C2C) / pixel crochet–style technique.
• The distinctive feature is that the work forms a triangle that automatically grows: each new row adds one additional “group” of stitches, so the piece expands without complex shaping.
• Uses pico stitches (chain + slip stitch space / eyelets) to create the open lace texture.

Materials & tools (as described)

• Yarn: any yarn; example given is bamboo sports-weight
• Hook: 3.5 mm (matching the yarn)
• Stitch terminology: uses American crochet terms (double crochet)
  • Note: “double crochet” in American terms corresponds to “treble” in British terms (as stated)

Build process (steps)

Start

1. Make a slip knot
2. Chain 8
3. Work into the chain:
   • Double crochet in the 3rd chain from the start
   • Double crochet in the next chain
   • Make a pico:
     • Chain 3
     • Insert hook into the chain space/area referenced (uses the “two loops” at the pico location)
     • Yarn over, pull through, slip stitch to form the pico
   • Finish with one more double crochet at the start of that chain

This creates the triangle tip.

Row growth pattern (repeated)

• At the start of each row:

  1. Chain 10
  2. Then work:
     • Double crochet into the 6th stitch from the hook
     • Double crochet into the next stitch
     • Chain 3 (to set up the pico)
     • Attach (slip/attach as described)
     • Add one more double crochet so the pattern becomes:
       • 3 double crochets with a pico in the middle (recurring “group”)

• Between groups (when not at the row end):

  • Chain 2
  • Move into the next loop/space

• Mid-row structure:

  • Chain 5
  • Work into the chain loop to make:
    • Double crochet
    • Pico in the middle
    • Third double crochet
  • Turn and continue.

How the triangle grows

• The triangle expands by adding one more group per row.
• The tutorial demonstrates multiple rows, showing growth from about 3 rows to 4 groups, then continuing similarly.
• Continue until the triangle/shawl reaches the desired size.

Optional guidance

• Mentions speeding/slowing playback for learning: slow down the video in settings.
