Featured Techniques

• easy center start
• double yarn over honeycomb lace ground stitch
• 3-to-2 decrease
• graduated needle sizing
• blocking in 3 dimensions over a plate

Although the pattern doesn’t specifically call for beads, I’ll show an example where the crochet hook method makes it easy to play with your own design in more than one color of bead.
