A modern twist to create a contemporary feel. Large miter triangles meet at the center of this afghan to create a visual effect that draws the eye outward. Simple rows of single and double crochet, can be made in a variety of color band widths, to allow a very customizable design. This is a great design for both men and women, with some bright colors it can even be enjoyed by kids.

This mobius/twisted cowl is constructed from the center row outward to the edge, with a built-in twist. It functions as a very soft cowl scarf for indoor/outdoor wear that’s easy to put on over the head. It can also be worn as a hood, and is long enough to cover the nape of the neck. We know you’ll love this cozy fall project!

Admire the wild rose from inside your home with this clever crochet pattern. The front of the pillow is created in single crochet from a chart, which then serves as a guide to outline and fill in each leaf and petal shape with surface crochet slip stitching. The pillow back is a modern stripe pattern that complements any décor.
