Crochet equilateral triangle pattern (in the round)

Start with magic loop.

12 sc into the ring. Pull tight to close the center. We are going to crochet triangle in spiral rounds. For this I suggest you using stitch marker and mark you finished rows.

Round 1: 2 sc, 3 sc into the next stitch, [3 sc, 3 sc in the next st]- repeat twice, 1 sc.

Round 2: 3 sc, 3 sc into the next stitch, [5 sc, 3 sc in the next st]- repeat twice, 2 sc.

Round 3: 4 sc, 3 sc into the next stitch, [7 sc, 3 sc in the next st]- repeat twice, 3 sc.

Round 4: 5 sc, 3 sc into the next stitch, [9 sc, 3 sc in the next st]- repeat twice, 4 sc.

Round 5: 6 sc, 3 sc into the next stitch, [11 sc, 3 sc in the next st]- repeat twice, 5 sc.

Round 6: 7 sc, 3 sc into the next stitch, [13 sc, 3 sc in the next st]- repeat twice, 6 sc.

For a bigger triangle, continue crocheting additional rounds with the same formula. The distance between 2 corners increases by 2 stitches, for a total 6 stitches per round.
