Recommended Yarn and Crochet Hooks
For this delicate granny square triangle, I recommend using Loopara milk cotton yarn - it's my absolute favorite choice for this pattern! The yarn's incredible softness and subtle sheen make the intricate stitches pop beautifully, especially in that sweet flower design.
In our triangle design, we're using four beautiful colors that work together to create this spring-inspired piece. The crisp White forms our delicate lacework background, while Yellow creates that cheerful flower that just makes you smile! The tiny Purple center adds that perfect pop of contrast, and the Green border frames everything beautifully.
Of course, you can play with different color combinations - how about soft pastels for a nursery decoration, or bold jewel tones for a striking wall hanging?
As for hooks, we're using a 2.5mm hook for this project. This size pairs perfectly with the Loopara yarn to create those precise, dainty stitches that really show off the intricate pattern. If you find yourself crocheting tightly, feel free to size up to 3.0mm - the most important thing is that you enjoy the process and feel comfortable with your tension.
Remember, the joy of granny-style patterns is their versatility - once you master this triangle, you can create endless color combinations for different projects and seasons!

Tips: Keep your tension consistent throughout all rounds. This is especially important in Round 3 when working those long chains, as they create the triangle's delicate lacework structure. This is a granny square pattern, so the usual ending of sl, ch is not used. Each round ends with just sl.
Care instructions
Let's talk about keeping your beautiful granny triangle looking as fresh and lovely as the day you made it!
Since we're using Loopara milk cotton yarn, caring for your creation is actually quite simple. While the yarn is machine washable, I always recommend hand washing to keep those delicate stitches and that perfect triangle shape looking their best. Use cool water and a gentle detergent - just give it a soft swish (no wringing or twisting!). The lacework pattern is quite delicate, so treat it with love!
When it comes to drying, resist the temptation to hang your triangle - this can stretch those beautiful chain spaces out of shape. Instead, lay it flat on a clean towel, gently pat it into shape, and let it air dry naturally. This is actually a perfect time to do a little touch-up blocking if needed!
For storage, keep your triangle (or whatever lovely project you've made with it) away from direct sunlight to prevent those beautiful colors from fading - especially that cheerful yellow flower! I like to store mine in a drawer with acid-free tissue paper, or in a breathable cotton bag if I'm keeping several pieces together. Never store in plastic bags, as cotton yarn needs to breathe.
One last tip: If you're planning to use your triangle in a larger project, consider blocking it before joining. This will help maintain those crisp edges and perfect shape that make this pattern so special. With proper care, your granny triangle will keep its charm for years to come!
