The triangles block is one of the easiest of all the blocks in the Remember Me Fidget Blanket Crochet pattern. You only need four coloured buttons for the embellishment.
The idea behind the triangle block is to mimic the actions of buttoning and unbuttoning a piece of clothing. With the repetitive action, it can help reduce anxiety and keep hands busy.
