Description
Many of the Black Sheep Crochet projects, for example, all Wrapped in Jamie squares, many Heirloom squares, and some Afghan squares, are designed in ‘overlay crochet’ technique.
To easily describe where to place the overlay stitches, I have created a special way of writing these patterns. A member of my Facebook group called this way of stitch placement description ‘Petranese’ and the name stuck.
