SECOND INFILL TRIANGLE PATTERN
A Simple chai st infil for the outer triangles.....I tried lots of variations, but wasn't happy with any of them until this one, hope you love it as much as me.
THIS IS NOT A CHART
Just a diagram to help work the stitch count out. There are more sts at the bottom to the top so some become spaces and some are worked one after the other
The 'X' are the missed stitches and the numbers are the chain stitches up and then down again.
PATTERN
25sts across the bottom of the triangle...mark the centre st. helps here.
16 sts each side at the top
Att. yarn to the 3rd st from the corner, ch3, sl st, into the second st from the corner at the top, ch3 return, sc [dc], into the same st,
sc [dc], into the next st, a space, sc [dc], in the next st,
ch4 miss a st at the top sl st into the next st, ch4 return, sl st into the same st,
sc [dc]into the next st, sc [dc], into the next st,
ch5, miss a st, at the top sl st into the next st, ch5 return sl st into the same st,
sc [dc] into he next st, sc [dc] into the next st, ch6, miss a st, at the top, sl st into the next st, ch6 return sl st, into the same st
from now on work into every st at the bottom and keep missing a st between ch loops at the top, until you get to ch6 return,
then its a gap st between loops at the top and the bottom again.
Follow the diagram the 'x' are the missed stitches the ch10 sl st, must go between the join of the original Octagons.
COLOUR: I used one of the colours of the Octagons but you could use a different colour if you wished
