Triangle or Pagoda stitch being worked in bright crochet thread in the video so get your sunglasses ready!
This unusual Torchon ground stitch made with one bar, to me, looks like a teeny space ship. When it is made with 2, 3 or more bars, it starts to look like a Chinese Pagoda. Using a single triangle block makes an interesting alternative to a spider.
Triangle ground can be made to point left or right. In my video, the triangle is given an extra bar, increasing the block size to 5 pin x 5 pin. More bars can be added by repeating the steps, this also means that the legs on the second half of the triangle will need more twists as they lengthen.If adding one of these to existing Torchon ground, remember that you will not use all the pinholes.
This stitch is used as both a 4 pin and a 5 pin block in the 'Ellie the Torchon Elephant' pattern available in my blog and in my FB group.
