I’ve been seeing this combination of stitches (single crochet, chain one) in lots of projects around the web lately, have also used it in my bucket hat pattern for a basket weave kind of texture. Recently I was making a circle scarf for a friend and figured that when arranging rows of colours in certain ways it actually looks kind of like plaid.

It’s made with a larger hook so it’s quite soft. I finished mine in two hours – a very quick project
