Overlay Crochet. Overlay crochet is a relatively new technique. It was developed by an artist and fantastic jewelry maker Melody MacDuffee in the United States and first introduced in 2003. Melody MacDuffee started to spread her inventions and conducted lots of workshops for hundreds of crochet lovers. Overlay crochet has its roots in Aran crochet.
The Spike Stitch is another easy stitch and it's a fantastic way to play with color. Essentially, instead of crocheting into the last row you completed, you'll drop down a row for your spiked stitch. That is why it's also called a 'long single crochet stitch.' You can use this stitch even when a pattern doesn't call for it. If you're working with more than one color, integrate it into your single crochet on the color change row.
