A granny square triangle is basically the classic granny look—clusters and chain spaces—but shaped into a triangle instead of a square. That makes it ideal for bunting because each piece already has that banner shape built in.

In the video, you’ll see how the triangle is formed row by row, how the corners are created, and how to keep your edges looking neat. As you repeat the motif, you can easily adjust the final look by making your triangles smaller for delicate garlands or larger for bold statement bunting.

Once you have a stack of triangles, bunting is all about assembly. You can join motifs to each other or attach them to a chain/cord so you can space them out exactly how you like.

Tips for Neat, Even Crochet Triangle Motifs

If your triangle starts to look a bit wavy or uneven, don’t worry—this is common with granny-style motifs. A few quick checks can help:

  • Keep your chain spaces consistent (same number of chains each time).
  • Try to make your cluster stitches the same height—steady tension makes a big difference.
  • If the edges curl, a light blocking at the end can help the triangle lay flat and look crisp.

Once you’ve made a few, you’ll likely find they become more uniform—and that’s when bunting gets seriously addictive.

Thanks for crocheting along with me today! I hope this granny square triangle inspires a whole lineup of garlands for every season and celebration.
