Crochet Eyelets
This section explores four different ways of creating eyelets in crochet.
The first method uses the X-sc stitch, a variation of the sc2tog, which forms small rounded rows of eyelets.
The second approach uses extended single crochet stitches, creating eyelets that are also small but lighter and more drapey than those made with the X-sc.
Another group of stitches reworks single crochet ribbing in the back loops to form large, statement eyelets. These fabrics are very textured, eye-catching, and pleasantly squishy.
Finally, eyelets can also appear in a much more delicate form. By working the linen (moss) stitch in an unusual way, it is possible to create a light fabric with tiny eyelets. You can see an example of this approach in the Sunset shawl pattern on Ravelry.
X-sc stitch
Rich in color and texture, the Chocomania shawl is worked from a corner to the opposite side and is easily adjustable.
This pattern features my signature crochet cable technique - simple yet striking. It uses only the most basic stitches - variations of single crochet and chains - to create richly textured, beautifully interwoven cables.

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.
