Quiddity comes in two versions: knit and crochet.

Quiddity is a parallelogram shaped shawl that you can either knit or crochet. The knitted version mostly uses garter and tuck stitches. The crochet version uses tapestry crochet, overlay crochet and a modified mosaic crochet. Both knit and crochet versions are made with three separate sections that are then sewn tog. Susan Chin sees crochet and knitting as intersecting techniques, with textures that are often reflections of one another. The chosen yarn also works well in both knit and crochet stitches.
