Hello all,
Welcome to the first part of my long awaited CAL: Texture is Everything
I can’t believe how time’s flying and we are just about to start this beautiful journey through the stitches and the land of texture. Are you as excited as I am?
If you want to refresh your memory before start, you can find all of the information about the CAL HERE.
If you prefer, the pattern is available as a downloadable PDF file. You can get it for a small fee on Ravelry HERE.
If you love what I create, you can support me to create more beautiful free patterns by buying me a virtual coffee:

Download it here:
Gauge: 4 DC STS and 2 rows = 1” / 2.5 cm
Additional notes:
- If a row/round starts with a Chain 1 or 2, this is not counted as a stitch, unless stated otherwise.
- Slip stitches do not count as stitches.
- CH 3 always counts as double crochet.
- US terms used throughout
- At the end of every round, there’s going to be a note with the stitch count, so you can keep track of your work easily and avoid any mistakes. It’s written in a different color; the first line in bold is always the total stitch count for the round. Below that, I included a stitch count per side (excluding corner stitches) and per corner too, in case you prefer it that way.
- When working on the corners, always remember that there might be a hidden stitch hiding under the corner stitches which is the first stitch of the previous row
- Notes are written in a different color in (brackets) to help you through the pattern.
- You can start each round as I did in the pattern or you can use a standing stitch or chains, it’s totally up to you!
