Almost every crochet pattern uses slip stitch for fastening and binding off but that skinny little stitch takes center stage in this pattern to create the main body of the piece.

A fabulous texture develops by working in short rows and doing the stitches in the Back Loop Only (blo). The super bulky single-ply yarn gives a thick, insulating result – use as is, or make it extra-large and felt it for an extra heavy piece.
