I made the triangles using this great tutorial from Attic 24. Mine are five rounds, because the of the number of colors I was using, instead of the seven Lucy uses.
Now you must block these suckers because they come out all wonky and lumpy at first and you need to straighten them out. Here's a picture of a poor misshapen one before a good ole fashioned blocking.
I attached them using a chain and a single crochet.
I chained 42. The number was chosen because it is how old I will be on my birthday next week. Think about where you are going to hang it and use whatever amount seems appropriate.
Then I put a single crochet into a corner chain of the triangle and in each stitch along one edge. 
When I reached the end of the triangle I chained 4, another arbitrary choice, that is just the number of kids I've had. If I had to so it all over again I would probably do 2 chains between the triangles.
Once I reached the endI felt like the single chain seemed a bit flimsy so I turned and did another row of single crochet in each sc across.
Then in theory I would have hung them up if I was taller or had a taller step stool so instead I hung them along my bed but Trixie did not like that one bit.
No, not one bit . . .
