Anything in a straight boxlike shape can be made from this simple pattern. Scarves, blankets, squares, wraps…ext.
It’s only perplexing to look at, not to make. Beginners will have fun and it doesn’t get boring for those of us with more experience. Works up quickly too, as its mostly worked in the large spaces rather than inside the chains.

Because of the versatile nature, your special item can be made in either a vertical or horizontal direction!
There is a gentle ripple effect along the rows.

It is in one piece, so there are no issues with sections fitting together. The length of the starter chain will be the fixed dimension of the final piece, so gauge isn’t that important.
And all size hooks/yarn have advantages so go for the size of hook and yarn you like!

The design looks best in a solid color more perplexing but color changing yarn looks fabulous too.
