How to Crochet the Embossed Triangle Stitch Photo Tutorial
The Embossed Triangle Stitch pattern is a beautiful crochet pattern that would work wonderfully in projects like blankets and bags, possibly even a cardigan!
The thing I love most about this stitch design is how the triangles seem to be pushed up out of the fabric. This is where its embossed name came from!
The pattern as a whole is fairly easy to work. All you will need to know are single crochet stitches and front post double crochet stitches. And while it is a daily long repeat when it comes to the pattern, you will find that you catch on fairly easily to how the pattern is worked. You may not need to follow the written instructions too carefully by the time you get to the second row of triangles.

Pattern Notes:
This stitch is worked in rows in this tutorial and it may be worked in one colour or many. I will be working this pattern in a solid colour.
To begin make a slip knot and make a foundation chain. For this stitch you will need a multiple of eight chains, plus two (8 + 2) for your foundation chain.
For example, ch 26.
