Galanthus, named for the snowdrop flower, is a crocheted asymmetric shawl worked in stages. The main body and the white insert are crocheted separately in different directions and joined as-you-go while finishing the first edge of the insert. The green edging following the white insert embellishes the side edge and emphasizes the contrasting lace section.

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.
