Rich in color and texture, Chocomania shawl uses the most basic of crochet stitches: single crochet (and its variations) and chain.

The pattern is written out and charted and includes a step by step tutorial.

The technique used in this pattern is simple, yet it requires your attention and following the directions carefully to prevent tangling of the yarn. To get a better idea of how the cables are worked you may try it out on a small swatch using the simpler cable instructions given on the last two pages.

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.
