Sandra, I thought this might be of interest to you:

I hope all is well.
Thanks ever so for this link, Sarah. Just had a quick look – looks good, I’ll follow it up. Hope all is well with you. I’m a bit busy at the mo as my mum is in hospital.
Thanks again for thinking of me with this link.
All the best.
Sandra
I’ve been wondering how to go about making a plaid pattern in crochet. Thanks for the link!
You’re welcome.
It’s also possible to get a plaid effect with woven crochet. You make a filet mesh, then weave strands of yarn through it. There’s a pattern with photo here:

That’s a beautiful pattern! Definitely going to have to give it a try.
If you do, please share how it goes/went.
