I was inspired by some beautiful overlay crochet motifs I saw on Pinterest and decided to make a pattern of my own and put it on a cute tote to carry around my projects in progress. My flower is not as bulky looking as other overlay crochet motifs I have seen because it doesn't overlay multiple rows over the entire motif. I used the technique sparingly to give the flower some dimension. Pattern available here. The pattern is written in great detail and includes in-progress pictures to help explain it better. Enjoy!

Here's a great pattern for a crocodile stitch pillow: http://knitabitcrochetaway.blogspot.com/2013/07/pattern-crocodile-stitch-pillow.html It comes out with nice ruffles and is much easier to make than it looks.

Nice hot pad pattern with edges that don't curl up so your pots stay flat. I tried making one myself - it's great! Pattern here: http://knitabitcrochetaway.blogspot.com/2012/11/pattern-pinwheel-star-hot-pad.html
