How to Crochet the Triangle Post Stitch Tutorial
I am excited to share a new color work stitch pattern with you today!
This stitch uses post stitches and color work to create a neat effect.
Overall, I love making this stitch because of how much the triangles POP!
The post stitches help create this effect, but two contrasting colors help accentuate the effect.
I think this stitch would look awesome in a ton of different color combinations!
Learn how to crochet the Triangle Post Stitch with this tutorial.
Materials
- Worsted Weight yarn
- H/8 (5mm) crochet hook
Abbreviations
- fsc - foundation single crochet
- ch - chain
- dc - double crochet
- st(s) - stitch(es)

Notes
- Stitch Pattern is a multiple of 7+4
- Ch 3 at beginning of rows counts as dc
- Carry both colors throughout the whole square. Whenever you change colors, do so on the stitch BEFORE you need the new color. Simply finish the previous dc by doing the last yarn over with the new color.
