Royal Touch

The modern crochet design textured square pattern Royal Touch is very easy to use to quickly create a blanket/afghan, pillow, bag, and more in any size you desire. The pattern will look best with a solid colour (colors), ombre or a long gradient yarn. The pattern is very easy to memorize and gives you a lot freedom for your creativity. You can make your item as large as you need. As well you can make smaller squares and join them together. The pattern is appropriate for intermediate level crocheters. For beginners it would be challenging. For more experienced ones this would be a fun and relaxing project. The pattern includes a detailed description, a stitch-chart and video tutorial in English (US terminology) and pictures to demonstrate final result.

Information about the color change: If you are using more than one color to create a visual effect as in the pictures above change the color when you start an even round (2, 4, 6, ...). Cut the previous color yarn and fasten off. Changing two contrasting colors on each round is an option that creates different visual effect.
