I was wanting to do something with texture and not just color changes. So I went looking through my trusty crochet stitch dictionary and found this pattern that formed loops on the right side of the piece. The Loops are all slip one into another before the last row is worked connecting them in the process.

I liked how it turned out to be a kind of plaid.
