Both US and UK crochet terminology throughout

Each panel is worked in modified single crochet, alternating front and back loops to create a neat, ridged texture. The panels are then joined to form a sturdy, reversible piece. The motifs are created using basic intarsia or tapestry crochet techniques, so some familiarity with colour work is recommended.

A link to a video tutorial showing the techniques used is also available.
