“Ribbon Canyon” is inspired by 1970s interior design and the undulating curve of a river, carving solid stone into sweeping canyons over the millennia. It looks complicated, but it’s simply a matter of taking time to understand how the pattern works and being meticulous during your setup. The whole design is built from a simple foundation. Once that’s completed, this project is a relaxing double crochet daydream.

Level: Intermediate or Ambitious Beginner (who can get some help for the foundation rounds). To complete this project you must maintain even tension, keep starting chains untwisted, know how to stagger increases and decreases, and enjoy doing double crochet forevah!

I think you will find the varying techniques in this pattern to be more stimulating than thinking in rectangles, but not necessarily more complicated. It is an enjoyable make that you'll be able to Netflix to after the first few rows.

"Living" Document Promise: This pattern is in its 2nd published edition. It contains all necessary information to make my original design. It has been professionally edited twice, and tested by myself and several crochet friends. Official testing has begun and will be followed closely by a new pattern release, Ribbon Candy Shawl.

Please consider your purchase to be an investment in my development as an artist. I must survive while I grow. I promise to continue improving this document (and my process) as I work with, and learn from those more experienced than me. Feel free to message me for pattern help through any of my social media accounts. 

Thank you for believing in me.
