I create new crochet stitches to show a quieter, softer side of crochet: calm, simple, and casual. My patterns may look unusual at first only because the technique is new to you, just like your first chain or single crochet once was. After a little practice, it feels easy and natural.

I continue exploring new crochet textures made with the raised double crochet technique. This technique appears in Chapter 2 of the New Ways with Crochet book and in my Leaf design series.

In Three Ways cowl is worked bottom-up in the round. It uses two stitch patterns - textured lines and a twig pattern - which you can combine to create three different cowl options (and you can easily explore your own combinations too).

All three versions are written out separately and charted for your convenience. You can also practice the technique on a small swatch, with step-by-step instructions and photos included.
