 Finger wrap of 5 wraps or ch 4 and sl st into a circle.

ROW1: ch3, 3dc, ch2, 4dc into the circle. Weave in end as you go, so you crochet over the top of them. [4dc each side of point]

ROW 2: ch3 and turn, 3dc into the top of the first dc, 3dc, ch2, 3dc into the ch2 space,  4dc in the sp between the 3rd and last dc. [7dc each side of point]


ROW 3: ch3 turn, 3dc, in first st, 3dc (granny shell) in the next sp, 3dc, 2ch, 3dc in the ch2 point of the triangle, 3dc (granny shell) in the next sp, 4dc in the sp between dc row 10: 31dc, row 11: 34dc row 12: 37dc each side]

ROW 4, 5 and 6: Turn and repeat each round with granny shells in each space, ch 2 at the point of the triangle and 4dc at the beginning an end of each round.

ROW 7: repeat with a 2nd colour change. [22dc each side]
ROW 8: repeat with a 3rd colour change. [25dc each side]
ROW 9 -12: repeat with a 4th colour change. [row 9: 28
ROW12: JOIN AS YOU GO ROUND..join in diagonal strips 
Making 24 triangles [or more if you want a bigger throw]
Join in diagonal rows... 
1st row: just one triangle
2nd row: 3triangles
3rd row: 5 triangles
4th row: 6 triangle
5th row: 5 triangles
6th row: 4 triangle
7th row: 3 triangles
8th row: 1 triangle
you turn from row 11, ch2 turn, sl st into the first st of first triangle, complete the 3dc in the first st, of the second triangle,  st, sl st into the next sp of the first competed triangle, repeat this joining to the point, at the point ch1, sl st into the point of the first triangle, ch1, complete the second 3dc , at the point of the second triangle, continue to complete the second side of the second triangle. 


JOIN AS YOU GO OF STITCH TOGETHER: 



NOTES: Complete the first triangle, then on row 12 of the next triangle, join as you go. point to corner. Using a sl st, between the ch2 at the point [3dc, ch1, sl st, ch1, 3dc], sl st, in every side sp, to join the second triangle to the first triangle.
Repeat The join as you go until you have a diagonal rows of required triangles joined together. 




JOINING STITCH FOR ROWS OF  TRIANGLES
Using joining colour, att yarn in the point of the first triangle, with a sc, ch3, sc in the next sp between the granny shells, ch3, sc in next sp, repeat to end of first panel, sl st to complete, weave in ends securely.

CONT. TO JOIN ROWS OF TRIANGLE INTO A RECTANGULAR THROW
A square could be made instead of a rectangle or a bigger throw just make more triangles
Repeat the same ch3 loop stitches around the second panel, replacing the 2nd ch st, [on the joining side], with a sl st into the matching ch3 loop, joining the 2 panels together on the long side. the 3rd and 4th dc of round 2. [10dc each side of triangle]

EDGING/border:
 It's not necessary to do an edging but if you wanted it a little bigger then rows of granny shells repeated in the same combination of 6 rows in 1st colour, 2 single rows each a different colour and finish with 4 rows of 4th colour.
