Two by Two Crochet by Bendy Carter

The main sections of all projects are created holding 2 different color stands of yarn together throughout. When working the single-color textured stitches, one color will be dropped to the back of the work until the last step, then both yarns will be used to finish the stitch. Includes instructions for 8 projects: 2 afghans, 1 baby afghan, an ear warmer, a lady’s cap in 2 sizes, a reversible kid’s cap in 5 sizes, a scarf, and an amazing ruana.
