Black and white patterns have an elegant and subdued simplicity that makes them timeless and endearing. Two-tone designs lend themselves very well to repeating, geometric motifs that highlight the interplay of light and dark. The motifs themselves can be as simple or intricate as the crocheter wants to make them. A link to free patterns is included under the photos.
