plus extra resources like ‘visuals’ and links to all videos, available in right- and left-handed versions and relevant tutorials.

Image Overlay Crochet (IOC) is a technique based on overlay crochet, where we write stories in yarn, crocheting the background layer and the image layer at the same time, using a special abbreviation and IOC specific techniques.
Once familiar with the techniques and the special abbreviation terminology (’Petranese’), these patterns - though officially classified as intermediate/advanced - include enough support in form of photo and video tutorials plus Masterclasses for the technique, that even a confident beginner can tackle the patterns.

You should be familiar with basic (US) terminology, confident with counting rounds and stitches and know your stitches from slip stitch to double treble. Tables with the most commonly used abbreviations, punctuation and stitch explanations for our basics, (like sc, hdc, dc, htr, tr, hdtr and dtr) are included in the pattern documents.

Gauge is not important for this pattern, but you should use the same for the border as you used for your square. Ths border is compatible with all Wrapped in Jamie squares (except for Claire) or any square (or other shape) that ends on a stitch count of 39 per side plus a corner space.

The square border is occasionally shown with a square. A square is NOT part of this pattern. The pattern shop at Black Sheep Crochet is currently closed due to BIN attacks (bots checking credit cards on low cost items), but will be added shortly on Ravelry.
