Half-Square Triangles

A half-square triangle (HST) is a square made from two equal right triangles. It's a favorite design element used by quilters because it's easy to make and can be used in hundreds of different configurations to make endless designs. Use this page to create half-square triangle designs. You don't have to be a dyer to use this tool — just pick colors similar to the colors of your already dyed yarn.

To create your design, select the width and length of your blocks in half-square triangles and choose a block template from one of the block collections. Then, select the width and length of your design and choose one or more colors to substitute in for each color in the block template. Click on the Submit button to display your design.
